Warehouse management systems (WMSs) are designed to move and store goods—whether finished goods, or semi-finished products such as components or parts—and process these goods in and out of the physical location to a final destination (or to another warehouse). These systems are designed to direct and optimize stock put-away based on real-time information related to bin utilization, availability of stock, incoming and outgoing deliveries, and other warehouse inventory data.
