Why many companies are not using WMS? How they can pretend to manage efficiency the stock and transactions?

Can we do without a WMS like such firms are doing with just stock-keeper?

Yeah, We can manage with out WMS, But to maintain Stock Accuracy, there is an alternative method, where we will maintain BAY NO: & BIN CARD NO: & QTY in an excell sheet which is also called as IMF( Inventory Management File) and have to keep on update the master file.In practical it is possible and we successfully implemented and now it is existing.
