What is WMS?

WMS stands for Warehouse Management System. It is a software application designed to support and optimize warehouse functionality and distribution center management. These systems enable management to control and monitor warehouse processes from the time goods or materials enter a warehouse until they move out. Operations managed typically include inventory management, picking processes, and auditing.
