  1. Essential Functional Requirements of a WMS Software A warehouse management solution is software that helps administer and control warehouse activities. To select an optimal automated warehouse management system, prepare a list of the functional requirements. A document in hand of all the necessary functional requirements will make you get a better ROI. There could be multiple functionalities of a WMS software. But this piece of the script will let you know about the mandatory WMS functionalities. Let’s get to know them. 1. Order Management System One of the top functionalities of a WMS is to streamline the order fulfillment process. Besides having the right inventory details, there are order placement, shipment and order delivery details, etc. This all information in an organized way will simplify the order management process. The order management functionality of the warehouse will not provide necessary stock in the warehouse but enhance the efficiency of the operations. Instead of purchasing a standalone automated work order system, have this in WMS to optimize your warehouse operations fully. Indeed, automation will not only improve efficiency and speed but workers’ productivity as well. 2. Labor Administration Another worthy functional requirement of WMS is that it should include labor administration tools. By having this tool, monitoring employees’ tasks becomes much easier. Through this software, their attendance data could also be recorded. This happens through QR codes which employees use to mark their attendance. Employees’ working time could be easily monitored, leaves, and overtime to calculate their compensation. Workforce management tools have become a need in today’s environment. To make the employees outperform and supervise their activities, this software is a must. In a nutshell, this functionality while implementing warehouse management automation will also allow you to control your workforce effectively. 3. Real-Time Tracking Tracking analytics functionality in the WMS is more like an asset of the business. What it does is helps business professionals in tracking inventory items. It will allow you to monitor inventory in real time. Through this, there will be no issue of fewer or redundant inventory items in the warehouse.

  2. A WMS automation software with an embedded real-time tracking module will also help in collecting and analyzing data and performing KPI analysis. This data analysis will also help in improving warehouse operations and take necessary measures to escalate the business growth. Added to this, a contemporary WMS will also enable you to execute multi-location tracking in case of having multiple warehouses. 4. User-Friendly Correspondence To get the most of WMS, make it easy to adopt and operate. If the layout will be complex and confusing then it would affect system functionality. Its interface layout and design should be easy to understand. Workers or other business professionals shouldn’t face difficulty in operating the system. Interactive dashboards and effective communication are another functional requirement of the WMS. If the workers have to interact with each other then they should not face any hassle. The functions should

  3. be simple to perform to communicate in real time. This will save time, improve operational efficiency and bring forth multiple advantages for the business. 5. Plugins Integration Last, but not least, one of the other significant functional requirements of WMS is that it must have an integration facility. It is a daunting task to buy additional software to perform a single task. It is costly as well to have tools for each business dimension. It is better to have an integration facility in the WMS software. It could be easily integrated with other software like accounting, HR, QuickBooks, and CRM, etc. All this will add to software functionality making it an all-in-one solution. In Conclusion To have a fully functional and contemporary WMS solution, go to MWI Solutions. Their up-to-date WMS system will help you grow your business.
