Full overview with warehouse management software from REMIRA
The control of goods in the warehouse becomes more and more complex as the size of your company grows. This is where warehouse management software can help. With DILOS, REMIRA provides you with an established, efficient and flexible system for controlling your warehouse and the associated processes. And best of all: Our warehouse management system already includes all necessary functions as standard.
What is warehouse management software?
A warehouse software, also called WMS (Warehouse Management System) is responsible for your goods in the warehouse and all docked processes between goods receipt and goods issue. It is docked to your ERP or acts autonomously as a leading system. The WMS is connected to existing warehouse technology (picking technology, conveyor technology, etc.) and controls the entire flow of goods largely automatically. Intelligent systems have the ability to optimize individual process steps. The software can identify optimization potential in the distribution of goods, the picking process and the picking paths and basically ensures transparent, fast and efficient operation of the warehouse.
With the appropriate software, all logistical material and information flows can be controlled - even across locations. With DILOS, REMIRA provides you with powerful warehouse management software that optimizes your warehouse processes and makes them more transparent.
What are the benefits of a warehouse management software?
The warehouse is the linchpin in logistics. Intelligent warehouse software ensures that the entire material flow is automatically recorded, mapped and managed. This way, you have all important information and the current stocks in view at all times. Particularly with large quantities of goods, warehouse management software helps to ensure smooth logistical processes and provides a significant increase in efficiency.
