Do you question the accuracy of your inventory? Are you confronted with changing supply chain requirements and compliance regulations? A Warehouse Management System (WMS) addresses these common challenges and creates a real-time warehouse environment that you can trust.
Top 5 Reasons Why Warehouse Management is Important
Below are five reasons to consider a Warehouse Management System.
Inventory Control and Management
A Warehouse Management System enhances inventory management by decreasing inventory levels, improving order fulfillment, and reducing order cycle time. Designed to control all of your warehouse’s activities, WMS allows you to track every unit down to the lowest level of detail for improved order fulfillment and inventory accuracy.
A Warehouse Management solution makes inventory management a much faster, easier and efficient task. With information that is updated in real-time, Warehouse Management Systems provide quick, accurate feedback so companies can respond faster to the demands of their customers. Distributors and wholesalers know exactly what is in the warehouse, where it is located, and when it needs to be replenished at all times.
Customer Service and Tracking
Your warehouse is an important part of your customers’ buying experience. Making sure products ordered are in stock and customers get what they purchased is crucial to providing good customer service. WMS improves picking accuracy so orders are correct the first time.
WMS also makes organizing and tracking shipments easier through automation. Worker assignments, shipment routes and putaways are all easily managed and tracked. This warehouse automation, up-to-date information and real-time tracking all leads to better accuracy and happier customers.
Company Productivity
Your warehouse plays a key part in ensuring that your company meets its productivity goals. A Warehouse Management System adds efficiency, consistency and quality control to the process by helping you move goods through your warehouse at maximum speed, improving every stage of the fulfillment process. Workers are able to generate more work in less time because they have exactly what they need at the right time.
Return on Investment
The right Warehouse Management System can improve your sales and increase profits not simply by helping you sell more, but by selling faster and more accurately to happier customers. Furthermore, your existing workforce is able to pick and receive more items in less time, with fewer errors. This precision reduces customer inquiries and simplifies customer support.
ERP Integration
A good Warehouse Management System will integrate with your existing business management system so you don’t have to replicate systems or procedures. As your business needs grow, your WMS solution should evolve to fit your needs.
BONUS: Meet and Exceed Compliance Regulations
Businesses today are faced with challenging supply chain and government regulations, while also trying to meet consumer demands and remain competitive. A WMS gives businesses the tools needed to be competitive while also staying compliant with regulations. This is accomplished through real-time recording and tracking of data, better business intelligence and solutions that automate business processes.
