Warehouse management system

Any warehouse needs contemporary equipment and high-tech software. It is crucial for stability and efficiency. For this purpose, most enterprises implement WMS systems — software and hardware complexes that automate and streamline the warehouse operations. These systems improve the efficiency of managing the stock keeping units, including:

• raw materials;
• finished products;
• archival materials;
• items of mail;
• spare parts, etc.

All programs perform one function — automate basic warehouse operations. However, developers release different versions of software, which vary in flexibility of settings, complexity in administration and depth of automation.

The purpose of installing the software is to automate and optimize warehouse operations. It can be used to control the receipt, accounting and storage of goods. The WMS system also helps to analyze and pick orders, take inventory of fixed assets, prepare and ship finished products to customers.

First of all, the hardware and software complex is installed at facilities that produce and store raw materials and finished products, as well as prepare goods for shipment. It also is pricelessno in enterprises that are engaged in:

• banking activities (for automation of archives, inventory of fixed assets);
• receiving, storing and shipping of products;
• organization of logistics (3PL operators);
• management and movement of postal correspondence and parcels (postal operators).

The functionality of the software is constantly expanding. Today, it is also indispensable in the automotive, food, textile or other industries. It can be used wherever it is necessary to store raw materials and finished products, as well as keep records thereof.

A WMS system is based on a software intended for automating warehouse operations and efficient use of existing premises. It aids to:

• organize the reception, allocation and shipment of goods;
• reduce inventory costs;
• reduce the influence of the human factor;
• Improve employee performance;
• improve the efficiency of goods accounting;
• simplify document flow;
• consolidate cargo more efficiently and faster;
• create a unified information space with the corporate system.

The scope of WMS also includes warehouse employee workstations, scanners, printers and terminals that can be used to collect data, read barcodes, apply labels, etc. The hardware is put together in a unified chain according to a concept tailored to the specific activity of a particular enterprise.

When choosing a hardware and software package, one should first of all consider functionality. It also determines the price of the system. The simplest version helps to keep keep quantitative accounting of goods. The more expensive the software, the more tasks it can solve. Advanced versions, for example, are capable of analyzing and sorting storage units by expiration date or other parameters.

When choosing a WMS, the following needs to be considered:

• complexity of installation and configuration;
• adaptability and ease of administration;
• the cost of subsequent refinement.
