Inventory Management
A WMS helps to track inventory levels, monitor
stock movements and ensure accuracy in inventory
records. It also helps to optimise storage
space, prevent stock-outs, and reduce inventory
carrying costs.

Order Processing
The system can automate order processing tasks,
including order picking, sorting, and packing.
This results in faster order fulfilment,
reduced order errors, and improved customer
satisfaction.

Material Handling
The system can automate material handling tasks,
such as loading and unloading, transporting
goods within the warehouse, and transferring
goods between different locations. This reduces
the need for manual labour and improves
efficiency.

Quality Control

• The system can automate quality control tasks,
  such as inspecting goods for defects or damage,
  ensuring compliance with regulatory
  requirements, and conducting audits. This helps
  to improve product quality and safety.

Maintenance and Repair
The system can automate maintenance and repair
tasks, such as scheduling maintenance tasks,
tracking equipment performance, and ordering
replacement parts. This reduces downtime,
increases equipment lifespan, and improves
safety.
