Zucchetti underlines the role of WMS-WMS software in improving logistics management

Companies need a clear understanding of the many pitfalls of traditional logistics management and the consequences it can have on business competitiveness and productivity. Implementing powerful, cutting-edge solutions, especially those focused on their specific sector and activity, allows companies to solve their most pressing needs.

In the case of companies facing logistics processes, the main thing is to have a warehouse management tool (WMS-WMS) that automatically integrates with ERP software, which helps to increase efficiency very significantly. From this point of view, in the free guide “Logistics and warehouse management. SGA-WMS”, published by software manufacturer Zucchetti Spain, explains the main keys to meeting the challenges involved in efficient logistics management. Zucchetti Spain has been developing and implementing software solutions for companies for more than forty years, with a significant presence in the industrial and logistics sectors. In this guide, the benchmark software manufacturer brings together its experience and knowledge of the needs of these sectors and provides guidelines for improving productivity, profitability and brand image through the digitisation of logistics and warehouse processes.

Zucchetti Spain will be exhibiting at the Logistics & Automation Trade Fair on 27 and 28 November at Stand 7B40 in Hall 7 of IFEMA in Madrid, where it will present its WMS solutions for logistics and warehouse management, and its Solmicro ERP management software, winner of the Best Business Software 2023 Award at the 23rd edition of the Byte IT Awards.

The main challenges of warehouse management in companies
eCommerce, omni-channel management, new forms of procurement and the challenges facing the supply chain make it essential to digitise logistics and warehouse processes. An intelligent and strategic approach is essential to help address market transformations and changing consumer buying habits.

One of the indispensable elements to achieve this is to have a management system that allows orders to be managed quickly, accurately and agilely. In this way, the challenge of eCommerce and supply chain management, which requires a high level of automation through integration between WMS and ERP, can be addressed. Companies that do not have warehouse management software integrated with ERP cannot have their inventory updated on a permanent basis, which increases management failures.

How to optimise warehouse management?

Today it is essential to implement a change in warehouse processes, which can no longer operate with traditional sales methodologies. Internet sales have had a major impact on warehouse processes. This affects not only larger companies, but also SMEs that sell via the Internet. As Zucchetti Spain explains in its guide “Logistics and Warehouse Management. WMS-WMS”, it is essential to implement warehouse digitalisation with a WMS-WMS solution that facilitates integration with the ERP and helps to improve the management of the different stages of the supply chain.

Not having a perpetual inventory, not having a data-driven demand forecasting system or not being differentiated in the level of service significantly affects the competitiveness of companies and their brand image. There are also logistical problems such as product out-of-stocks, late shipments or wrong products being shipped. Logistics management needs to be approached on the basis of three fundamental elements, as explained by Zucchetti Spain in its training guide: people, stock and administrative management.

Companies address the need to digitise and integrate their warehouse processes with a WMS.
Effective warehouse management strategies that ensure a dynamic, fast and efficient data flow are indispensable. The people working in the supply chain can then have accurate information at their disposal to carry out their work. The various managers in manufacturing and purchasing can also implement measures to avoid the most common supply problems.

Advanced WMS software can integrate intelligent warehouses, manage logistics strategy, simplify warehouse control, integrate the software solution with robotics and automation tools, and improve operator productivity, as well as maintain real-time inventory management. The new WMS-WMS programmes also allow online stock regularisation, traceability control, item entry management and product labelling.

Companies that have already implemented the digitisation of their warehouse processes are avoiding the various errors and inefficiencies that occur when warehouse management is done manually or through obsolete tools.
