Warehouse Management

Quite like the Transportation Management system, this module allows freight forwarders to operate it as a separate service or as an integration with other Logi-Sys modules. Integration does provide benefits as it captures all warehouse-related revenue information automatically within the integrated Billing and Financial Accounting modules.

• Handle both single and multi-warehouse activities

• Execute efficient shipping, receiving, stocking, picking, space management and throughput

and more. In a nutshell, this WMS will help you streamline your warehouse management processes, right from product order to shipment/dispatch
