What is a warehouse management system (WMS)?
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is software designed to help businesses control, track, and optimise warehouse operations. It manages every stage of the process, from receiving stock to putaway, picking, packing, and despatch, ensuring orders are fulfilled accurately and on time.
By improving visibility, automating key tasks and reducing manual errors, a WMS plays a crucial role in boosting warehouse efficiency, improving staff productivity and maintaining customer satisfaction. These systems can operate as standalone solutions or as part of an integrated ERP platform, depending on the scale and needs of the business.
Where does WMS fit in the supply chain?
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) sits at the heart of the supply chain, connecting purchasing, inventory, fulfilment and distribution. It plays a critical role in the middle to final stages of the chain, ensuring stock is received, stored, picked, packed and shipped efficiently.
WMS technology provides the operational backbone that keeps stock moving accurately and on time. Whether you're managing a multi-site distribution network or a single warehouse, WMS links upstream supply (like purchasing and manufacturing) with downstream activities (like customer delivery and returns), helping to maintain visibility and control across the full supply chain.
Which type of system is a WMS usually connected to?
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is most commonly connected to an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. While a WMS focuses on stock movement within the warehouse, such as goods-in, picking, packing, and despatch, an ERP oversees wider business operations like purchasing, accounts, customer orders, and reporting.
By integrating with an ERP, a WMS ensures that warehouse activity is fully aligned with upstream supply and downstream fulfilment. However, not all WMS solutions are connected to an ERP, some operate as standalone tools, depending on the size and structure of the business.
What are the different types of warehouse management system?
The different types of warehouse management systems include standalone WMS, WMS as part of an ERP system, mobile WMS, and WMS as part of a supply chain solution.
A standalone warehouse management solution is there strictly to support and manage the everyday management of your warehouse operation. As part of an ERP system, a WMS is combined with other powerful applications to deliver end-to-end management of an entire business – perfect for larger enterprises looking to scale. Mobile WMS is a barcode scanning solution that integrates with the standard warehouse functions of a WMS or ERP system. And finally, as part of a supply chain solution, a WMS can offer businesses across their entire network – from manufacturing to fulfilment and distribution.
