Excerpt from Logistics Viewpoints:
Over the past decade, Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) have evolved from simple systems of record into the operational nerve center of modern distribution. What was once primarily used for inventory tracking and order execution is now expected to support real-time intelligence, automation, and end-to-end orchestration across people, processes, and machines.
As businesses face increased pressure to fulfill faster, adapt to labor constraints, and integrate with an ever-growing ecosystem of technologies, WMS platforms must deliver far more than core capabilities. They must be intelligent, extensible, and built to support complex, multi-channel fulfillment environments.
In this article, I’ll explore the most important functional capabilities shaping the next generation of WMS—and what to look for when evaluating solutions for a future-ready warehouse.
