Warehouse Management Systems provide the technological foundation for modern
distribution operations, integrating inventory control, labor management, and
equipment coordination into a unified platform.

**Core Functionality:** Real-time inventory tracking with location accuracy
to pallet positions. Automated receiving with ASN integration and quality
inspection workflows. Directed putaway and picking with optimized slotting
algorithms.

**Integration Capabilities:** Interface with ERP systems for order management,
accounting, and reporting. Connect to material handling equipment including
conveyor systems, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and robotic arms. Support
for barcode scanning, RFID, and voice-directed operations.

**Labor Management:** Track productivity metrics including picks per hour,
accuracy rates, and walking distance. Manage shift scheduling, training
requirements, and performance incentives. Provide real-time feedback to
operators for continuous improvement.

**Reporting and Analytics:** Generate operational KPIs including order
fulfillment time, inventory accuracy, and throughput metrics. Identify
bottlenecks and optimization opportunities. Support decision-making with
predictive analytics for demand forecasting and capacity planning.

**Scalability Considerations:** Choose systems that can grow with business
needs. Cloud-based WMS offer flexibility and lower upfront costs. Consider
mobile access for remote management and integration with IoT sensors for
environmental monitoring.
