Without warehouse management systems (WMS), it would be impossible to run modern supply chains. A WMS is software that helps organizations oversee incoming shipments, store and move products around, keep track of each SKU, pick items to fill orders, pack the boxes, and ship orders fulfillment. In these ways, a WMS helps to automate tasks, reduce errors, increase order throughput, improve inventory accuracy, and raise the overall efficiency of the warehouse.

TruckX’s warehouse management systems work in integration with fleet management operations; the warehouse locates the inventory and moves it to the end customer. The system allows users to track inventory holding levels in real time and use that information to plan for ordering new stocks and prioritizing orders as they come in. This planning minimizes safety stock levels, reduces costs, and helps to keep the shelves stocked with the right products. Over the long term, these systems help to provide the lowest cost per order. Real-time inventory level information also helps to plan routes and make more efficient use of resources, minimizing delays.

Besides inventory tracking, TruckX’s WMS also streamlines warehouse productivity by automating many chores on the floor, including barcode scanning, order processing, and shipping documentation. This way orders get completed without human error and are fulfilled on schedule.
