In a Warehouse Management System (WMS), the focus is on storing goods that are kept in stock for a longer period or on behalf of a customer.
The difference with a cross-dock is that goods are not transported out immediately.
A transport load can be cross-docked, but a WMS involves more complex processes.
The Warehouse module allows you to manage storage and inventory, fully integrated with your transport operations.
In short, you have full insight into:
Goods enter the system via inbound orders and leave via outbound orders.
A rate is often charged for the entry, exit and storage of a customer's goods.
Instead of goods, a WMS talks about articles.
Transport orders can again be created from outbound orders. Furthermore, transport orders can also become inbound orders.
