A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a software application that supports a warehouse’s daily operations. WMS programs allow for centralized management of tasks such as inventory tracking and stock location.
In the mid-1990s, the first WMS systems appeared, with such a high cost that only large companies in the world could have access to them. Thirty years later, WMS systems have been perfected in tasks, simplified, and massified in their use; now they are more accessible to any company in the sector. Their differentiating elements lie in the technology used, mobile devices, integration with other ERPs, and the conception of the logistics process.

Today, the dynamism of operations in logistics operators’ warehouses demands immediacy, control, and real-time information. This is possible thanks to WMS solutions and the mobility options they offer.
Comprehensive solutions for automating and optimizing warehouse logistics processes generate smooth and reliable operations. They also reduce response times and ensure effective controls at critical points in the process.
Today, there are technologies such as RFID, barcodes, among others, with high performance that enhance the use of basic WMS tools and make warehouse management a predictable and highly reliable process.
