WMS
Warehouse Management System
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) primarily handles a wide range of activities, including inventory management, order processing, labor management, space utilization, and report generation. It focuses on optimizing overall warehouse operations to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and visibility. WMS is often integrated with other enterprise systems, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, to synchronize inventory, orders, and logistics information.
