    A WMS class system<\/a> is a comprehensive solution, supporting all key areas of work of a modern warehouse. For a better understanding, it is worth dividing the WMS functionality into main process areas: <\/p>

    Warehouse goods receipt area<\/strong>
    The WMS supports the goods receipt process by assigning a unique registration number to each smallest, countable batch of goods. Reception can take place both in an advised manner (automatically or through a web portal) and ad-hoc. <\/p>

    Warehouse storage area<\/strong>
    WMS assists users in selecting the best place to store products. In doing so, it takes into account constraints, dimensions, weights and rotation frequency. The use of appropriate algorithms makes it possible to increase the efficiency of warehouse space use by up to 30%. <\/p>

    The area of picking goods for orders<\/strong>
    The system optimizes the path of picking goods, selects the right packaging and controls the correctness of picking, minimizing the risk of errors.<\/p>

    The goods release (shipping) area of<\/strong>
    WMS allows automatic generation of     shipping labels<\/a> and communication with courier systems.<\/a> It also manages additional requirements related to quality, packaging and sends notifications to recipients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
