The Warehouse Management System (WMS) developed by Geneva Systems, Inc. is a software solution aimed at small to midsize businesses (SMB) that facilitates the day-to-day transactions required to effectively manage a warehouse or distribution center. According to the vendor, this solution is utilized by warehouse managers, distribution managers, supply chain managers, logistics managers, and manufacturing managers across various industries.

Key Features

Inventory Management: According to the vendor, the WMS enables real-time inventory tracking, efficient stock movement management, and the implementation of automated inventory control strategies. It also allows users to set up automatic reorder triggers based on minimum and maximum stock levels.

Order Management: The WMS centralizes and automates order processing, providing real-time tracking of order status. It generates picking lists and packing slips to ensure accurate order fulfillment and handles order changes and returns efficiently.

Warehouse Automation: The WMS incorporates barcode scanning and RFID technology for accurate and efficient data capture. It also supports the integration of automated material handling systems and robotic systems to optimize warehouse layout, bin locations, and tasks such as picking, sorting, and palletizing.

Labor Management: According to the vendor, the WMS allows users to track and manage labor productivity and performance. It facilitates task assignment and real-time progress monitoring, generates reports on labor utilization and efficiency, and supports the implementation of incentive programs.

Reporting and Analytics: The WMS provides customizable reports and dashboards to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs). Users can analyze data on inventory levels, order accuracy, labor productivity, and more to identify trends and areas for improvement. According to the vendor, this enables data-driven decision-making to optimize warehouse operations.

Warehouse Planning and Optimization: The WMS utilizes advanced algorithms to optimize warehouse layout and slotting. It optimizes picking paths and sequences to minimize travel time and increase efficiency. According to the vendor, users can plan and forecast future warehouse needs based on historical data and projected growth. They can also perform "what-if" scenarios to evaluate the impact of changes in warehouse processes.

Integration and Scalability: The WMS seamlessly integrates with other business systems, such as ERP, CRM, and transportation management systems. It also supports integration with e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, and third-party logistics providers. According to the vendor, the system can scale to accommodate growing business needs, including additional warehouses or distribution centers. It provides APIs and web services for easy integration with external systems.

Mobile Access: Users can access the WMS from mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets, enabling them to perform key tasks on the go. Real-time data synchronization between mobile devices and the central system is supported, increasing flexibility and productivity by allowing warehouse staff to work from anywhere in the warehouse.

Alerts and Notifications: The WMS allows users to set up automated alerts and notifications for critical events, such as low stock levels or order delays. They can receive real-time notifications via email, SMS, or in-app notifications, staying informed about potential issues or exceptions that require immediate attention. According to the vendor, this improves responsiveness and helps prevent costly errors or delays.
