The advantages of a warehouse management system quickly become clear when you consider what an enterprise would be without the appropriate software:
All work steps - be it procurement of goods, invoicing, or sales calculation - would have to be carried out manually. Purchasing, sales, repeat orders and stock transfers would have to be laboriously recorded in a warehouse register. With more than a hundred different items, it would be hard to keep an overview: You could only find out the total stock of your goods, if at all, with an inventory. In addition, there would be a high chance that certain products would suddenly no longer be available due to high demand - to the displeasure of the customer. Conclusion: Above all in e-commerce, handling your goods without software support becomes a time-consuming and cost-intensive affair, which is accompanied by high personnel requirements and a certain susceptibility to errors.
A well-managed stock control system helps you with all the above tasks and saves you time, effort and money. It also reduces the error rate and offers extensive functions and services to improve the economic performance of your company.
Hundreds or even thousands of items are quickly recorded in a single database and can be retrieved from any workstation. Real-time statistics and reporting give you maximum visibility and overview of your inventory - even if you operate multiple warehouses at different locations. At the touch of a button, you can also obtain detailed information of all items. For example, you can find out where a certain item is located, how many are still available, and how high the demand for the product is. Shortages can therefore be quickly traced. And, depending on the scope of functions, the computer-controlled warehouse management system can arrange repeat orders totally automatically.
