Hotbeds of activity in any business conditions, warehouses have been getting a lot of attention lately. The uptick in e-commerce sales, ongoing supply chain disruptions and the labor shortage are just a few of the forces exerting extra pressure on global warehouses and distribution centers (DCs) right now. As mainstays of the supply chain, warehouses depend on technology to help them keep their inner workings running smoothly, quickly and efficiently. For many, a warehouse management system (WMS) is command central-that core machinery needed to make that happen. Software that's placed at the center of supply chain and manufacturing operations, WMS coordinates and optimizes material flows while ensuring that those materials flow through the warehouse in the most efficient possible manner. It manages receiving, inventory, picking and packing, orders and other activities with the overarching goal of monitoring and controlling pretty much everything that happens within a warehouse's four walls on a day-to-day basis. |
