Warehouse Management Systems

  DMS Systems are designed around Inventory Management that begins with taking the customer’s order for immediate picking and shipment, to on-line purchasing and receiving products from vendors. Since inventory is your largest asset, great emphasis is placed upon statistical forecasting and inventory analysis to maximize inventory turn-over and minimize lost sales. An ABC Analysis that ranks sales by units, dollars, and gross profit along with the daily “on-line purchasing” capability,together provide the user with a comprehensive “Inventory Management System”. DMS Systems also provide “RF wireless barcoding receiving” that updates inventory available for sale and creates a receiving interface for updating Accounts Payable and General Ledger.
