When you know what tools your company needs to carry out successful manufacturing, distribution, and fulfillment activities are critical to your ongoing success. Integrating those tools together into a seamless whole is what makes your enterprise a well-oiled machine. Whereas two of the most important tools in your repository are your warehouse management system (WMS) and your ERP software.
The integration of WMS – Advanced Warehouse Management System with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central can help your warehouse to use technology to the utmost degree, which will allow you to focus on improving processes and speeding up shipments and other warehouse operations and activities as well.

Also, the Organization can enjoy the other benefits of the Cloud like scalability and advanced security.

Through scan guns and barcodes, you can move from pen and paper to a digital WMS environment that eliminates re-keying of data and the unavoidable human entry error that accompanies it.

The benefits of a comprehensive WMS include:

Integrating warehouse management with resource planning is not only the next logical step for growing companies, it is a matter of survival and a certified best practice. Integrating the two services is a necessity for companies that wish to scale with a growing business.
On top of scalability, integration also helps to prevent costly data redundancies or worse, data silos, that drain time and resources from your operations.
