Warehouse management system (WMS)

Warehouse management system (WMS) : A WMS is a specialized software solution designed to manage the storage, handling, and distribution of sensitive products such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and biotechnology goods. It ensures compliance with regulatory standards like Good Distribution Practices (GDP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) by maintaining full traceability, controlling environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity), and managing batch and serial number tracking. A WMS optimizes inventory accuracy, enhances operational efficiency, supports audit readiness, and reduces the risk of product mix-ups or spoilage. It is critical for maintaining product integrity and patient safety throughout the supply chain.
