As more companies view their supply chain as a competitive advantage, warehouse management systems (WMS) have moved into the spotlight as a key way for companies to optimize the flow of inventory and positively impact the bottom line. By establishing a foundation of best practices for receiving, put-away/flow-through, inventory management, replenishment, and more, WMS users benefit from real-time information that increases productivity, improves customer service and collaboration with partners,and can lead to up to 99+ percent inventory accuracy.

With increased visibility across the supply chain comes the need for a single source of information to manage it all, including ordering data, inventory, shipments, and documents across all application areas. Cloud-based supply chain solutions – and specifically the WMS – are quickly becoming the preferred, multi-enterprise solution that can be relied on as the single source of this information, easily linked with other systems in the network, serving as a company’s execution platform for its entire supply chain.
