A warehouse management system (WMS) consists of software and processes that allow organizations to control and administer warehouse operations from the time goods or materials enter a warehouse until they move out.
What does a WMS do?
Warehouses sit at the center of manufacturing and supply chain operations because they hold all of the material used or produced in those processes, from raw materials to finished goods. The purpose of a WMS is to help ensure that goods and materials move through warehouses in the most efficient and cost-effective way. A WMS handles many functions that enable these movements, including inventory tracking, picking, receiving and putaway.
A WMS also provides visibility into an organization’s inventory at any time and location, whether in a facility or in transit.
Where WMS fits in the supply chain
The supply chain can operate only as quickly, accurately and efficiently as warehouse processes permit. A WMS plays a vital role in supply chain management by managing order fulfillment processes, from receiving raw materials to shipping finished goods.
For example, if raw materials are not received properly or parts are misplaced in a warehouse, the supply chain may be slowed or disrupted. WMSes are critical in ensuring that these processes work smoothly by tracking inventory and making sure that goods are stored and sorted properly, as well as shipped and tracked accurately.
