A warehouse management system (WMS) is computer software that effectively operates a warehouse. It helps with the tracking and organization of all the goods kept in the warehouse. Consider it a great toy organizer for a sizable toy collection. The WMS keeps track of the toys, their locations, and their quantities. The WMS quickly locates a certain toy when someone wants to purchase it. The WMS also helps with other tasks like deciding where to put new toys on display to make the most of available space and monitoring expiration dates. Simply put, a warehouse management system is a smart assistant that makes sure everything is organized in a warehouse to make it simpler to locate, store, and distribute goods.
