what are the benefits of a WMS to my business?
increase order fulfilment
Ability to process high volume orders with multiple sku's and numerous order lines to indIvidual or multiple customers. Orders are able to be consolidated to enable wave or batch picking that improves order cycle time and resource utilisation. Integration with transport systems can improve load consolidation and freight optimisation opportunities that will lower transportation costs.
improve warehouse resource utilisation
Orders can be released by zone within a warehouse or allocated to specific warehouse resources that are able to receive, put-away, replenish or pick by a range of rules that are defined by the layout and slotting sequence which are built into the warehouse management system. As the process is visible, utilisation and performance reports can be produced and viewed to enable reallocation and redeployment of resources to smooth volume.
improved track and trace visibility
Inventory can be tracked and traced by using barcode or RFID technology at multiple stocking point location levels such as site, pallet, layer, shipper, inners, packs etc. Each unit load is tagged to enable tracking of products throughout a warehouse, distribution centre or a manufacturing facility.
