A warehouse management system (WMS) enables management to ‘do more with less’, improving efficiencies without having to employ more staff. Using a WMS to direct workers through their daily task lists has a big impact on order completion volumes, with potential to achieve a 33% output increase. A WMS will automate and standardise all inventory movements and replenishment tasks based on pre-configured rules, so stock is always available to pick and produce never goes bad, according to Indigo Software.

It will make your operation lean, efficient and competitive all year long. That will be a benefit to you every year when sales peaks are likely to be significantly higher than normal.
