Definition

A Warehouse Management System (WMS) consists of software and processes that allow organizations to control and administer warehouse operations from the time goods or materials enter a warehouse until they move out.

The supply chain can operate only as quickly, accurately, and efficiently as warehouse processes permit. A WMS plays a vital role in supply chain management by managing order fulfillment processes, from receiving raw materials to shipping finished goods.
