Warehouse Management System (WMS) Evaluation Center

What Are Warehouse Management Systems?

Warehouse management systems (WMSs) are designed to move and store goods—whether finished goods, or semi-finished products such as components or parts—and process these goods in and out of the physical location to a final destination (or to another warehouse). These systems are designed to direct and optimize stock put-away based on real-time information related to bin utilization, availability of stock, incoming and outgoing deliveries, and other warehouse inventory data.

Warehouse Management System Business Drivers and Benefits

• Improve the quality of service and support for wholesalers and manufacturers.
• Maximize the use of warehouse space.
• Improve inventory visibility.
• Increase inventory and asset turns.
• Minimize errors by identifying, tracking, and solving problems between manufacturers and suppliers.
• Enhance delivery and order fulfillment performance.

Warehouse Management System Risks

Organizations lacking effective warehouse management software run risks with respect to inventory movement, tracking, and management:

• decreased quality of service to wholesalers and manufacturers
• increased errors due to miscommunication between wholesalers and manufacturers
• decreased replenishment rates
