Upgrading Your Warehouse Management System: Why Make the Move?

As WMS and ERP consultants, we’ve helped hundreds of companies transform their warehouse operations to become more efficient, productive and profitable. In our experience, there is a point when a company must consider adopting and upgrading their warehouse management system and related technologies. In this blog, we will cover 4 critical questions to ask to find out if you are ready to make the change and 3 main benefits to making the change.  

4 Questions to Ask When Upgrading Your Warehouse Management System:

1. Do you know exactly where all your stock (money) is in your warehouse all the time?
2. Do you have dead stock in your warehouse that you don’t even know about?
3. Is your company’s revenue decreasing?
4. Does it take too long to find things in your warehouse or is there only one person in your company that knows where things are?

If you answered yes to any these questions, it may be time to consider investing in a Warehouse Management System to improve your warehouse operations. There are many warehouse management solutions (WMS) available that will integrate with your accounting or ERP system. It is important to make sure this integration is seamless since it is critical in order to maximize efficiencies and improve productivity. One WMS solution we selected to represent is Accellos One Warehouse management System (WMS). Accellos One WMS is widely used to because it deliver a powerful, scalable and flexible real-time Warehouse Management System (WMS) for distributors.

3 Key Benefits to Upgrading Your Warehouse Management System:

1. INTEGRATION: By integrating with leading accounting packages, warehouse automation equipment and shipping systems, you connect your warehouse to the rest of your supply chain. The seamless transfer of information between your systems means more efficient invoicing, order tracking and purchasing for your distribution operation. Streamline your warehouse processes.
2. RFID and BARCODE TECHNOLOGY: By using the latest in Radio Frequency (RF), RFID and barcode technology to automate your warehouse processes, you can find, pick and pack inventory in the most efficient manner possible. This means that you will be shipping the right items, in the right cartons, to the right customers, on time, every time from your warehouse.
3. INVENTORY ACCURACY: Inventory accuracy is key. Improve your customer service. By giving your customer service staff, sales team and even your customers a window into the warehouse using web-based warehouse management system technology, you allow them to track and trace the status of inventory and orders resulting in fewer customer calls and better managed sales expectations.
