A warehouse management system (WMS) supports warehouse operations through functions like managing complex warehouse structures, optimizing material flows, and processing goods receipt, issue, and transfers. A WMS can track inventory in individual storage locations unlike inventory management systems, and locate materials randomly within storage areas like high racks, bulk storage, and picking areas. It controls material flows through receipt, consolidation, binning, picking/packing, and dispatch. Benefits of a WMS include optimization of capacity and flows, stock monitoring, space utilization tracking, and increased efficiency, accuracy, and traceability of materials.
