Capterra Glossary
A warehouse management system (WMS) is software that helps manage and control the daily operations of a warehouse. This includes every aspect, from tracking inventory and ordering items to shelving and shipping products. A WMS optimizes and streamlines warehouse processes and is often connected to the software tools used across a company.
SMBs can use a WMS with automated technology to support all warehouse functions. With a WMS, operations can be improved for processes such as tracking, ordering, and receiving inventory; stocking; and picking and shipping orders.
