Home / ERP Vendors / Types of Warehouse Management Systems

Types of Warehouse Management Systems

Warehouse Management Systems software (WMS) provides companies with the ability to effectivity manage product in an automated way, from receipt to staging systems and direct putaway, to suggested movements and optimized picking. Warehouse resources are guided from end-to-end by technology like tablets, handhelds, and other smart devices. Warehouse management software allows physical counts to be eliminated by cycle counting with confidence. From agricultural companies, to eCommerce and wholesale distributors, all types of companies can benefit from warehouse automation.

Types of Warehouse Management System Functionality

Warehouse management software (WMS) enhances these functional areas:

  • Quality inspection
  • Directed put away and automated transfers
  • Cross-docking
  • Optimized picking
  • Order Consolidation
  • Staging and packing

Benefits of Warehouse Management Software

Optimal Inventory Management

Warehouse management systems provide improved inventory and warehouse accuracy, so you can operate on real-time inventory and cut costs by avoiding unnecessary inventory purchases.

Reduced Expenses and Errors

Automated WMS processes prove to be very effective in reducing errors in data entry. Additionally, a well-planned warehouse management software and business process improvement plan can streamline picking and putaway, and accumulate savings over the long-term.

Productive Labor Force

Optimized picking allows for resources to efficiently walk the aisles while reducing time-to-pick. Warehouse personnel are now guided by technology to take the guessing game out of the putaway, pick, pack and ship processes.

Vendor Qualities

Vendors in this warehouse management software space lead with their technology platforms and ability to configure workflow automation. Companies need applications that are both on-premise and in the cloud, and must remain device agnostic. WMS applications need to be scalable enough for multi-site and large corporations, in addition to smaller companies with complex processes.
