A warehouse management system (WMS) is a software application that supports the day-to-day operations in a warehouse. WMS programs enable centralized management of tasks such as tracking inventory levels and stock locations.

 

 

Warehouse management systems can be standalone systems, or supply chain execution suite, modules of an ERP system such as Odoo or Visual World. Depending on the size and sophistication of the organization, the system can be as simple as a handwritten list that are updated when required, spreadsheets using software such as Microsoft Excel or Access or purpose-built software programs.

 

A comprehensive warehouse management system helps streamline multiple functions of your enterprise:

Receiving – Gain insights into shipments that have been delivered, but that are not yet at their final location. Make sure items at low stock levels are staged and put away first, reducing the impact of out-of-stocks and inefficient fulfillment processes.

Put-Away – Know the location of all inventory on your shelves. Route your workers to the right location, set up their picks in the proper order to minimize travel time, and increase the number of orders they can pick each day.

Picking – Improve error-proofing and productivity in the picking process. Workers receive their picks on a mobile device that routes them to the proper location. Scanning items when you pick them verifies that the right item at the right quantity is picked.

Packing – Ensure the accuracy of each order that is picked and reduce material costs by determining the right sized shipping carton.

Shipping – See that each order is properly packaged and shipped to the right destination and delivered on the right date.

A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a software application specializing in supporting the day to day operations within a warehouse. The application does this by allowing the users to have a centralized system where different warehouse tasks are managed through an interface on a handheld device or a tablet working in the warehouse or a desktop in the office. This makes running a warehouse both efficient and easy, and also ensures that minimal if any losses occur in the different warehouse processes. The real gain is in customer service. Imagine knowing exactly where every product is, knowing when to re-order, and how much to re-order or produce. These things seem like a business goal, but for a customer it means they can get the product faster, without backorders or errors, so they are more likely to return.
