Warehouse Management System

Software controlling warehouse inventory, locations, receiving, putaway, picking and shipping.

Examples

  1. 01The WMS tells each forklift driver where to put away a pallet and which bin to pick from next.
  2. 02Before the WMS goes live, every one of 14,000 storage locations is labelled with a barcode and checked against the system.
  3. 03During a recall, WMS data shows within an hour which batch went to which customer and which pallets are still in stock.
