Contemporary Warehousing Functions and Warehouse Management Systems Introduction Warehousing is where the goods are stored for profit purpose. Warehouse on the other hand is the physical location where storage of goods is kept to be eventually disbursed to customers or in other business (Berg, & Jeroen, 2007). This can also be known as distribution center. Warehousing management is the coordination operation of the incoming goods, storage and tracking of goods and eventually distributing them properly to their final destination. Warehousing management system (WMS) is a supply chain that is used with an aim of controlling goods movement and their storage within the warehouse. It includes associated transactions that are shipping, receiving, put away and picking. This system usually uses real-time information to optimize put away stock in the utilization of bin status. Through this, WMS uses Auto ID Data Capture (AIDC) technology.
