Warehouse management system (WMS)

WMS high-level process

Agile and flexible AdOr WMS software

WMS core capabilities

Receiving

Accepting and processing incoming goods in a warehouse. This includes unloading, inspecting, and entering items into the WMS.

Inspection/quality assurance

Inspecting incoming goods to ensure they meet specified standards and are free from defects. This step helps maintain inventory accuracy and product quality.

Put-away

The process of moving received goods from the receiving area to their designated storage locations within the warehouse.

Cross-docking

A logistics strategy where incoming goods are directly transferred to outbound vehicles with minimal or no storage time, speeding up delivery and reducing storage costs.

Location management

Assigning specific locations to items within a warehouse to optimise storage and retrieval processes.

Inventory management

Tracking and managing inventory levels, orders, sales, and deliveries to ensure the right amount of stock is available at the right time.

Replenishment

Moving inventory from reserve storage to picking locations to ensure that items are available for order fulfilment.

Picking

Retrieving items from their storage locations to fulfil customer orders.

Wave management

Grouping orders into batches or “waves” for processing based on specific criteria such as shipping schedules or order priorities.

Staging

Temporarily holding goods in a designated area before they are moved to their final destination, such as the shipping dock.

Packing

Preparing items for shipment, including boxing, labelling, and ensuring the correct items are included in each order.

Truck loading

Loading packed goods onto trucks for transportation to their final destination.

Manifesting

Creating a detailed list of the contents of a shipment, including item descriptions, quantities, and other relevant information.

Cycle counting

A method of inventory auditing where a small subset of inventory is counted on a regular basis to ensure accuracy.

Extended WMS capabilities

Labour management

Managing and optimising the workforce within a warehouse, including scheduling, task assignments, and performance tracking.

Yard management

Managing the movement and storage of trailers and containers in the yard area of a warehouse or distribution centre for inbound deliveries, as well as outbound loads.

Slotting

Organising and assigning products to specific locations within a warehouse to optimise picking efficiency, can be a system-driven rule-based process.

Third-party billing

Managing billing and invoicing for services provided by third-party logistics providers.

Task interleaving

Combining multiple tasks into a single trip to increase efficiency, such as picking and replenishment.

Dock scheduling

Planning and managing the arrival and departure times of trucks at the loading docks to optimise the flow of goods.

Value-added services

Additional services provided in the warehouse, such as kitting, labelling, or assembly, that add value to the products.

Parcel management

Managing the shipping and tracking of small packages and parcels.
