A Warehouse Management System also known as a WMS is a software program designed to direct the flow of materials both into and out of specific storage locations.

When a Warehouse Management System is integrated into the entire distribution process it directs the flow of materials to and from:

Receiving to Quality Control
From Quality Control to active or reserve storage location
When it is integrated into a picking system with a barcode scanner/ reader it can direct pickers to specific locations, instruct the picker to pick the specified quantity

When used with an outbound fixed barcode reader it can capture and validate what, when, where, and who loaded the out bound truck
