At Protogramma Informatics, we help businesses of all sizes modernize their storage and distribution operations with solutions that reduce errors, increase speed, and provide full inventory visibility. In this article, we explain what a WMS is in simple terms and present the Entersoft WMS solution we implement.

What is a WMS (Warehouse Management System)

A WMS is software that organizes and optimizes all warehouse operations, from receiving to shipping:

• Receiving: scheduling, quality/quantity checks, cross‑docking.
• Storage: smart put‑away, slotting, traceability (lots/serials).
• Replenishment: automated min/max rules, demand‑driven replenishment.
• Order picking: wave, batch, zone picking with RF/mobile guidance.
• Packing and shipping: packing, labeling, integrations with carriers/TMS.
• Inventory counts: cycle/full counts, real‑time discrepancy logging.
• KPIs & dashboards: picking performance, OTIF, inventory accuracy, space utilization.

In short, a WMS reduces errors, speeds up order execution, and provides real‑time stock visibility.

Why invest in a WMS

• Reduce picking errors by 60–90% through scanning and guided workflows.
• Faster deliveries and consistent SLAs, even during peak seasons.
• Accurate inventory with fewer stock‑outs or overstock.
• Better space and labor utilization.
• Measurable team productivity and continuous improvement.
