Warehouse management system: software for managing warehouse stock and work such as receiving, picking and dispatch.
A WMS supports the daily movement and control of goods through a warehouse. It helps manage work from receiving stock through picking and dispatch, keeping records of warehouse activity and stock availability. It can also share data with enterprise resource planning and transportation management systems so that warehouse operations connect with wider business processes. The distinction is one of scope. A WMS concentrates on warehouse work, while connected systems may cover broader business or transport responsibilities. In a job requirement, experience may concern using the system during physical operations or maintaining the accuracy of its records.
