WMS (Warehouse Management System) solutions have been a standard in the area of warehouse process management in enterprises for many years now.  In practice, every newly constructed warehouse is launched with a WMS implemented.  At KMH we give you a FREE Operation Audit to make sure we have studied every area of your business and the best ways to increase your ROI in the shortest amount of time.  Your ROI (Return on Investment) is defined as a profitability ratio used to measure the effects of an investment within a specified period. Such an analysis makes it possible to identify potential areas of savings and to estimate the time needed for the return of the invested capital. We carefully demonstrate in the ROI analysis what essential actions should be made concerning your decision to implement a specific WMS solution and why.

Based on our 40+ years of experience working with customers, a WMS offers the sort of rapid ROI that might make you wonder – can I afford not to invest?  At KMH we estimate customers will see a full ROI in 12 months but in some instances it is a lot less.

Ways a WMS will add value to your supply chain:

Full real-time visibility of all your stock, orders, and processes

Using a WMS allows you to gain inventory and warehouse accuracy so they can reduce safety stock levels.

Satisfy customers

Having the right product to deliver to customers at the right time and to the right place helps increase sales by reducing short ships, shipping errors, and missed deliveries.

Make the best possible use of available warehouse space

Reducing time spent locating product as a result of accurate inventory and a WMS helps with associating equipment to areas of the warehouse and appropriate work spaces.

Using a WMS allows distributors to define storage areas and bin locations in the warehouse. The system then manages product storage using the rules established for the facility. A better organized warehouse yields space savings.

Improve workforce productivity and accountability

Labor savings come in numerous forms, using a WMS delivers benefits including productivity.

Reduce wear and tear

Pallet jacks, forklift trucks, man-up trucks, and other materials handling equipment experience tremendous wear and tear. Using a WMS provides benefits such as:

• Efficient routing of activity throughout the warehouse
• Consolidated activity, such as wave order picking and zero bin cycle counts
• Associating equipment to areas of the warehouse and to appropriate work
• Managing and enabling pickup and delivery, also known as drop points
• Reducing time spent locating product as a result of accurate inventory
