What is Warehouse Management?

What does 'Warehouse Management' mean?

A warehouse management system (WMS) is a set of tools and processes that enable businesses to manage and control warehouse operations from the moment items or materials enter the facility until they are removed. Warehouses are at the heart of industrial and supply chain activities because they store everything from raw materials to finished goods. The goal of a warehouse management system (WMS) is to ensure that goods and commodities are moved through warehouses in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. Inventory tracking, picking, receiving, and put away are just a few of the functions that a WMS may manage.
