FAQs: Warehouse Management

What is a warehouse management system (WMS)?

A Warehouse Management System, or WMS, is a type of software solution used to support and manage the day to day operations of warehouses or distribution centers. WMS software facilitates efficiency and optimizes operations—from receiving to storage—including picking, packing, shipping. WMS technology helps brands, retailers, and third-party logistics (3PL) warehouses collaborate processes, drive greater visibility and transparency, and enhance overall supply chain management and performance.

What are the types of warehouse management systems (WMS)?

WMS can be categorized into four commonly used systems including Standalone System, ERP Inventory, Cloud-Based or Supply Chain module.

Standalone WMS: Standalone systems are dedicated systems focused solely on limited warehouse management functions. These work for smaller warehouse operations that are not looking to integrate with outside technologies. Standalone systems offer basic functionality including picking, packaging, and shipping.

ERP Inventory Modules: ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning systems can help expand supply chain operations for brands and 3PLs. Core warehouse functionality is not usually included but ERP systems can integrate with most cloud-based WMS software. These systems work best for enterprise organizations as implementations can be long and system costs are more expensive.

Cloud-Based WMS: Cloud-based WMS offers complete warehouse functionality that is accessible online, offering flexibility and scalability.  These systems work well for e-commerce and omnichannel businesses looking to quickly implement integrations. Many cloud-based systems, or SaaS (Software as a Service), offer increased flexibility, data security, scalability and can be used by 3PLs with limited IT resources.

Supply Chain Modules: Supply chain modules are parts of supply chain management software or platform—enhancing overall supply chain efficiency. For example, a cloud-based WMS may also be a part of collaborative technology with modules to help with integrations, order management, unified commerce, fulfillment, or last mile.

Who uses warehouse management system (WMS) software?

Warehouse Management System (WMS) software is used most commonly by distributors, e-commerce and omnichannel fulfillment centers, third-party logistics (3PLs) providers, and fourth-party logistics (4PL) networks. Almost all industries who require warehouse processes to pick, pack, and ship orders will use a WMS to optimize processes, improve accuracy, and streamline efficiencies including integrations to marketplaces, shopping carts, or other supply chain management technologies.
