WMS

A warehouse management system (WMS) supports warehouse operations through functions like managing complex warehouse structures, optimizing material flows, and processing goods receipt, issue, and transfers. A WMS can manage stock quantities in individual storage locations within a highly complex storage facility, unlike an inventory management system. Key benefits of a WMS include optimization of capacity and material flows, monitoring stock levels, tracking bin occupancy, and increasing efficiency and accuracy of warehouse activities.
