ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and WMS (Warehouse Management System) both meet crucial requirements, and each fits neatly with the other. Data often needs to be consolidated between the grassroots level and overviews at a higher level to speed up order processing and improve stock planning. Communication between ERP and WMS has an impact not only on how the business is organised, but likewise on the information system<\/strong>. For this link between applications to be efficient and not deteriorate as time passes, a robust and upgradeable solution should be implemented<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ERP, the central access point to business data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ERP lies at the heart of manufacturing organisations, and many other industries besides. This potent management and coordination system centralises functional data and monitors activities in real time. Its company-wide reach and modular dashboard make it the go-to solution for decision-makers and functional business managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ERP meets the need for data consolidation and traceability, with financial information, purchasing, production, schedules, etc. Manufactured output is consequently tracked from design to shipping, and product compliance is more certain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This integrated management package helps rationalise costs<\/strong>, by reducing errors and providing decision support, businesses keep better control over their projects and their production processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ERP has a profound influence over the information system. Forming the core of the IS, it offers an access hub to a major proportion of the business\u2019 data, which fundamentally simplifies the use of multiple business data sources. It therefore makes sense for businesses to want to connect it to other applications in their information systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WMS, the grassroots solution that transforms warehouse management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Those other applications include WMS, or Warehouse Management System. <\/strong>This package structures and supports order preparation, optimising the available space and improving the quality of the packages shipped. It introduces invaluable smart management to warehouses for businesses with sustained levels of activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes wrongly confused with ERP, a WMS is actually a dedicated application offering advanced functionalities<\/strong> concerning supplies, storage, inventory and order picking. The crucial role played by a WMS is to properly match resources (available space, order pickers, hauliers, etc.) with business requirements and strategy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is therefore a system with a high impact on the effectiveness of stock management. By streamlining warehouse management, a WMS means improved anticipation of future demand and requirements, and better use made of resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The much-needed communication between two crucial systems: ERP and WMS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These two systems, occupying crucial roles in the IS, therefore absolutely must communicate to deliver the best possible performance<\/strong>. Integrating these applications is all the more important given that warehouse management depends on data from ERP, and vice versa:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
