Hey everyone!
Keeping up with my resolution to initiate meaningful conversations, I’m back to continue the conversation on Warehouse Management Systems.
My previous post talked about what it is and I think it might be the time to delve into its importance.
You might wonder if WMS is really necessary.
My one word answer would be YES!
But to elaborate, let me list the top 6 reasons behind the necessity of a good WMS.
1. Inventory control and management
A good WMS makes inventory management unbelievably faster, easier, and efficient. Thanks to real-time information updates, WMS provides quick and accurate feedback.
2. Company productivity
With better efficiency, increased consistency, and a higher quality control due to WMS, businesses are able to move goods through warehouses at maximum speed, improving every stage of the fulfillment process.
This impacts the company’s productivity positively as workers are able to generate more work in less time.
3. Customer service and tracking
Whether you are supplying your products to a retailer, another business, or selling directly to end consumers, customer service is paramount.
WMS prevents human errors by improving picking accuracy. This means the orders are correct the first time. Organizing and tracking shipments is easier through automation provided by a WMS.
This means all worker assignments, shipment routes and putaways are easily managed and tracked.
The end result is happier customers.
4. ERP integration
An excellent Warehouse Management System is flexible enough to provide you with easy integration with your existing business management system.
This means no more wasting of time in replicating systems or procedures. A good WMS will also evolve to fit your needs as your business grows.
5. Return on investment
Choosing the right WMS can improve your sales and multiply your profits. You can sell more faster and accurately with a WMS.
Better customer support means returning customers!
6. Exceed compliance regulations
WMS gives you the tools you need to stay competitive along with staying compliant with regulations. Real-time recording and tracking of data leads to better transparency and business intelligence.
