A Warehouse Management System (WMS) offers a paperless, nearly error free way to keep track of items in your warehouse. Specifically, the practice of lot tracking can be improved exponentially with a WMS. Lots are of product that share the same manufacturing or run date.

Take a look at the comparison of what happens if a product has to be recalled, with and without a WMS.

A warehouse is a place where goods are stored to be used in the future, even when there is a low supply of business goods in the manufacturing market. A number of skilled, educated and professional workers are assigned by the companies for proper administration of the business goods stored in the warehouse. There can be any number of warehouses but each warehouse should be unique and designed properly so that you can store perishable as well as non-perishable goods.
