Warehouse inventory management systems are software that mostly just provides you with storage location information. The functionality of WMS has been greatly changed with time. The simple functions have been replaced with more complex ones that can help a business grow more efficient. These functions can be as simple as pick, pack and ship functionality or more complex programs managing advanced interactions with material-handling devices.

WMS plays a crucial role of helping users manage the fulfilment, shipping and receiving work done in the warehouse such as picking goods from shelves for shipment or putting away the received goods

There are various types of Warehouse Management Systems. Each of these comes with their own pros and cons. Listed below are some of the types:

• Standalone System.
