Warehouse Management
System (WMS)

A warehouse management system (WMS) is a set of policies and processes intended to organize the work of a warehouse or distribution centre, and ensure that such a facility can operate efficiently and meet its objectives.

The core function of a warehouse management system is to record the arrival and departure of inventory. From that starting point, features are added like recording the precise location of stock within the warehouse, optimizing the use of available space, or coordinating tasks for maximum efficiency.
