Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) for Logistics
In logistics, real-time visibility of warehouse, shipment and distribution requires functions to track every pallet and delivery from goods receipt to handover. Track every stock movement from raw-material receipt to shipment. Bin-location management, warehouse receipts, batch-lot and serial-number tracking, reservation and packing work integrated with production, purchasing and sales.
Logistics context
Why Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) works differently in Logistics
In Logistics, logistics and distribution operations center on sector-specific concepts such as addressed warehouse, shipment planning, route and distribution. In logistics, real-time visibility of warehouse, shipment and distribution requires functions to track every pallet and delivery from goods receipt to handover.
Qera ERP's Inventory & Warehouse (WMS) module is set up around how the logistics sector works: Speeds up inbound, putaway and picking with addressed-warehouse management to reduce mis-shipments.
- When addressing and shelf management are inadequate, picking times grow and incorrect shipments increase.
- When shipment planning is done by hand, vehicle and route capacity is used inefficiently.
- When order, warehouse and transport data are disconnected, you can't see where a shipment is in real time.
