Why Warehouse management system (WMS) is a must for any smart modern warehouse?

  • March 22, 2020
  • By Sundeep Bandi

According to the Knight Frank report, the demand for warehouse area is increasing with 5 percent yearly from 2019. The primary reason for this is the rise of the 3PL and e-commerce sectors, which eventually led to the necessity of the Warehouse Management System (WMS).

What is Warehouse Management System (WMS) ?

Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a software application that ensures the efficiency and productivity of warehouse operations through inventory monitoring, management, and automation of warehousing and distribution processes.

Amazon is the primary example of the successful implementation of WMS. With the introduction of same-day delivery, it optimized its floor operations by introducing “drive” & “Kiva” robots, and high level of picking using advanced Pick to Light devices and Goods-to-person technology.
