What Is
Warehouse Management System?
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is software that runs day-to-day warehouse operations. It helps control receiving, putaway, picking, packing, shipping, and inventory accuracy with real-time visibility.
It works by using barcodes, QR codes, or RFID to track each item and bin location. Rules guide putaway and picking, while features like cycle counting, replenishment, and dashboards keep stock levels healthy.
Key gains include fewer errors, faster order processing, better space use, and lower costs. A WMS also supports multiple warehouses and integrates with ERP, e-commerce, and transport systems to keep everything in sync.
