Warehouse Management System
Intelligent WMS
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a software application that helps manage and control the daily operations of a warehouse. It tracks inventory levels and movements, manages shipping and receiving processes, and optimizes warehouse layout and space utilization.
Three benefits of Warehouse Management Systems for you
Improve quality
Implementing a WMS can bring several benefits to your business. Firstly, it can improve inventory accuracy by reducing errors and ensuring that products are stored in the right locations.
This leads to more efficient picking and eplenishment processes, which can help to reduce order fulfillment times and increase customer satisfaction.
Secondly, a WMS can help to reduce labor costs by optimizing workforce planning and reducing the need for manual data entry and tracking. It also helps to minimize errors and delays by automating many of the warehouse processes.

Using your ERP systems’ WMS functionality or a dedicated WMS/WCS solutions
When it comes to warehouse management, some businesses may consider using the WMS functionality in their ERP system. While this can be a viable option for some businesses, there are limitations to using an ERP-based WMS solution. For example, ERP systems may lack the necessary features and functionality required for complex automatized warehouse operations, such as real-time inventory tracking or advanced picking and packing processes.
On the other hand, a standalone combined WMS/WCS solution can provide businesses with more comprehensive features, functionality, and flexibility.
These solutions can be tailored to specific business needs and integrated with existing ERP systems, providing businesses with a complete view of their warehouse operations.
A combined WMS/WCS solution can provide even greater benefits by integrating and controlling multiple automation systems from one platform.
This can lead to improved efficiency, increased productivity, and better decision-making capabilities.
Ultimately, the decision to use an ERP-based WMS or a standalone WMS/WCS solution should be based on a business’ specific needs, resources, and goals. By working with a trusted provider, businesses can evaluate their options and choose the solution that best meets their requirements.
