WMS Systems warehouse management

WMS systems to control, coordinate and optimise warehouse operations, from inbound to outbound logistics

From paper to digital: Efficiency for your warehouse

Your competitiveness starts right from the warehouse

Effective warehouse management is one of the most strategic factors in maintaining a company’s competitiveness.
That’s why a well-structured logistics flow, supported by advanced WMS systems, not only ensures accurate lead times, but also improves overall operational performance.
As a result, you can avoid stockouts, reduce unnecessary reorders, and keep warehouse saturation levels under control.
This leads to a more responsive and efficient supply chain, capable of adapting quickly to changes in demand.

Intralogistics useful for the production

WMS system by materialSUITE®  is an advanced solution for managing goods movement within both the production plant and the warehouse.
Indeed, the efficiency of intralogistics processes relies on accurate space mapping, clearly defined picking strategies, and constant monitoring of key performance indicators such as stock rotation and inventory levels.

As a result, using the system in a structured way helps prevent unnecessary reordering, reduce the risk of stockouts, and ensure smooth, ongoing communication between the warehouse and the production area.
In this way, WMS systems become a strategic ally generating value and profit through better internal flow management.

Stock monitoring and streamlined replenishment for a more responsive supply Chain

Effective planning of production activities and material resources is essential to optimise production times, capacity, and warehouse availability.
Therefore, to ensure a smooth flow, it is crucial to constantly monitor the stock turnover rate in order to accurately schedule replenishment timing and methods.

Moreover, WMS systems by materialSUITE® enable precise inventory management by keeping only the necessary quantities in stock and automatically triggering reorders once predefined thresholds are reached.
Thanks to advanced monitoring of logistics KPI, the WMS systems also helps optimise the entire supply chain, improving both costs and overall warehouse performance.

Custom solutions for smart warehouses

To successfully tackle the challenges of modern logistics, companies must first equip themselves with tools that ensure control, efficiency, and responsiveness.
The WMS systems by materialSUITE®, developed by Logikamente, enable the digitalisation of warehouse management, improving accuracy in goods handling and making every process smoother and continuously monitorable.

As a result, automating logistics operations allows for better space organisation, preventing unnecessary build-ups and reducing the risk of long-standing stock.
Moreover, by cutting down on manual tasks, companies can achieve leaner management, optimising available resources while containing operational costs.

Finally, thanks to its flexible design, the WMS systems  easily adapts to changes in demand, seasonality, and operational peaks, ensuring continuity and efficiency across the entire supply chain.

FAQ

What is a WMS and why is it needed by manufacturing companies?

A WMS (Warehouse Management System) is software for comprehensive warehouse management that optimizes all operations: receiving goods, storing locations, picking orders, shipping, and inventory. It is used by manufacturing companies to eliminate manual picking and stocking errors, reduce product search times with optimized locations, track batches and deadlines for quality and compliance, optimize warehouse space, and reduce immobilized inventory. The WMS transforms the warehouse from a cost center to a competitive advantage.

How much does WMS software cost for small to medium-sized businesses?

For SMEs, the costs of a WMS vary significantly. Custom cloud or on-premise solutions cost 20,000-80,000€ one-time plus annual license. It also considers hardware costs (palmars, printers, barcode readers) of 3,000-10,000€, and operator training. Typical ROI is 18-36 months.

How to choose the right WMS for you?

The choice depends on your operational needs. If you're looking for standard software that only covers a portion of your warehouse processes, our WMS may not be the best solution. Logikamente's WMS, on the other hand, guarantees the complete digitization of the warehouse, from the entry to the exit of goods, thanks to software custom-designed to your real needs.

How does picking work with WMS?

The WMS optimizes picking with different modes. In guided picking, operators receive PDA missions with optimized routing, location codes to be visited sequentially, quantities to be collected with barcode control, and immediate confirmation of operations. The system supports: pick-to-order (single order), batch picking (multiple orders together), wave picking (scheduled waves), pick-to-light for maximum speed. All tracked in real time with error elimination and time reduction of up to 40%.

Does WMS integrate with ERP management?

Yes, WMS-ERP integration is essential for complete automation. The WMS receives from the ERP: customer orders to be fulfilled, incoming supplier orders, theoretical stocks, and product records. The WMS returns to the ERP: confirmations of receipt of goods, warehouse movements, completed pickings, updated real holdings. Integration is done via APIs, CSV files, or direct connectors to major ERPs. The update is bidirectional and can be real-time or scheduled.

How long does it take to implement a WMS?

Implementation times vary in complexity. For a basic WMS on simple warehouse: 4-8 weeks (process analysis, setup, training, go-live). For medium solutions: 3-6 months (includes customizations, ERP integrations, pilot testing). For complex multi-site warehouses: 6-12 months (with automation, machinery integration, gradual rollout). Factors that lengthen the time are: non-standardized processes to be mapped, multiple integrations, need for extensive training, resistance to staff change.
