A warehouse management system (WMS) is often the epicenter of the fulfillment technology stack. The software application manages the operations of a warehouse or distribution center (DC), including receiving, put-away, stock locating, inventory management, cycle counting, task interleaving, wave planning, order allocation, order picking, replenishment, packing, shipping, labor management, and automated materials-handling equipment interfaces.
Given its pivotal role in fulfillment operations, WMS adoption is a vital undertaking for any company that they need to get right.
