Warehouse management system (WMS)
In short
A warehouse management system (WMS) is software that controls how goods move through a warehouse: receiving, storage locations, picking, packing, shipping and stocktaking. netgroup builds and implements WMS with barcode scanners and connects it to your online store, accounting and couriers, so stock is accurate and errors drop.

Frequently asked questions
How is a WMS different from stock in accounting software?
Accounting knows how many items you have; a WMS knows exactly where they are, who picked them and when. The WMS runs warehouse work, accounting runs the books.
Do we need expensive scanners?
Not necessarily. Smaller warehouses can use Android phones or affordable scanners; larger ones benefit from rugged terminals.
Can the WMS connect to our online store?
Yes. Orders flow straight into picking and stock levels flow back to the store.
How long does implementation take?
It depends on warehouse size and integrations. We give a precise plan after the audit.
