WMS

Warehouse Management System

A Warehouse Management system (WMS) is a software solution that provides visibility into the entire company inventory and manages supply chain order fulfillment operations from the distribution center to the store shelf.

Warehouse Management solutions (WMS) also enable companies to optimize efforts, space utilization, and equipment investments by coordinating and optimizing the use of resources and material flows. In particular, WMS systems are designed to support the needs of an entire global supply chain, including distribution, manufacturing, service, and asset-intensive activities.

The WMS is a system, moreover, that is responsible for interfacing with machinery and automation but also for monitoring all activities performed in the plant on a daily basis and throughout the entire supply chain.

The system works symbiotically with the supply chain therefore the more articulated the workflow, the greater the complexity of the system.

With a WMS it is possible to:
- Schedule activities
- Process incoming goods orders
- Process outgoing goods orders
- Manage the internal flow of materials
- Monitor warehouse processes and activities
