What is WMS?
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) provides 
inventory visibility and manages order fulfillment 
operations from distribution centers to Store self. 
The role of the WMS in 
3PL Warehouse Management Services: 
In a warehouse or distribution center, a WMS helps manage fulfillment, shipping, and 
receiving task, including picking items from shelves for shipment or depositing goods 
received. 
 
WMS is to help users manage the fulfillment, shipping and receiving tasks in the 
warehouse or distribution center, such as picking goods from shelves for shipment or 
putting received goods away. 
 
WMS - It has been a well-known category of Supply Chain Software for more than 45 
years. Nowadays, it is used in thousands, if not tens of thousands, of distribution centers 
around the world.
 
While many companies, often large ones, remain new to WMS, RCSL continues to find 
them. Alternatively, there are stakeholders in a new WMS project who are unfamiliar with 
WMS, such as those from customer service or transportation.  
Supply Chain
We found that reviewing the core benefits of 
an advanced WMS is useful even for managers 
with some WMS experience. 
- Here are RCSL’s top 10 Picks. 
1) Inventory control by location, quantity, lot or batch, serial number, and more 
is a result of real-time, accurate visibility into all inventories in the 
warehouse. All of the inventory in multiple warehouses can be viewed 
centralized from one distribution center.
2) Optimal Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) will provide a 
comprehensive audit trail, which identifies who did what, when, and how. By 
utilizing this data, errors can be resolved more effectively and operational 
analytics can be performed more efficiently.
 
3) In most WMS implementations, barcode scanning and mobile terminals are 
widely used to drive productivity and accuracy in warehouse operations. 
 
4) Smart sequencing will increase productivity in the distribution center with a 
WMS that provides system-directed activities. There are many tasks involved 
in this process, including putaway, cycle counting, order picking, 
replenishment, and truck loading.    In order to assign work, there are three 
Ps: Permission, Priority, and Proximity.
 
5) Likewise, distribution centers are primarily responsible for picking and shipping 
orders to customers. This process can be improved through the use of tools 
such as: wave planning, multi-picking methods (discrete, batch, cluster, zone, 
zone-batch, etc.), dynamic slotting, and replenishment of forward picking 
areas.
6)  Individual associate productivity tracking by task types and indirect and direct 
time will be possible with a WMS.
7)  Using a WMS, comprehensive metrics and reporting can be aggregated across 
facilities and at the facility level.
8) In order to reduce transportation costs, a WMS should automate truck 
planning.
9) For a WMS to reduce or eliminate customer chargebacks, it should support 
customer compliance labeling and other services commonly seen in the 
retail sector. 
10) In order to achieve continuous improvement and meet new distribution 
requirements, WMS should provide a platform to enable rapid changes in 
processes, work flows, and technology.  Today, support for DC automation of 
many types is especially important. A variety of DC automation types are 
especially important today.
