WMS
Warehouse Management System
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is the software that runs day-to-day warehouse operations. Core capabilities: inbound (ASN/GRN, put-away, quality check), storage (bin management, slotting, replenishment), outbound (picking, packing, dispatch), inventory accuracy (cycle counting, physical inventory), and value-added services (kitting, labelling, packaging).
Modern WMS systems support multi-tenant operations (essential for 3PLs handling multiple customers), barcode/RFID-enabled mobile workflows, integration with order management / e-commerce platforms, and increasingly AI-driven optimisation (re-order points, demand-based slotting, picking path optimisation).
