“Your warehouse is not an island: if you have a WMS, it needs to be able to talk to your ERP system” – regardless the size of your business and what kind of warehouse you run. Read about ERP Systems and WMS integration.
Did you know that ERP systems are the backbone of any wholesale or distribution processes and enabling the flow of information between functional areas? A Highly specialized ERP system, like SAP Business One, may include a robust supply chain execution functionality. But more typically, ERP software offers capabilities for managing inventory, such as tracking the process of items as they are picked, packed and shipped.
Some business- particularly those with high-volume and highly-automated distribution facilities – can add to their ERP system a dedicated warehouse management system, or WMS, to digitize and automate all aspects of their inventory control.
A WMS provides more sophisticated warehouse functionality that comes as standard with an ERP system. Most of the times an ERP system like SAP Business One can be enough for certain companies, but there are particular cases in which it will be necessary to add a WMS.
This enables organizations to continuously monitor products’ progress as they move in, through and out of the warehouse; keep the receipt, storage and movement of goods under control; and use real-time intelligence to optimize product location and shelf duration, helping them make smarter use of space.
