Warehouse management is what goes into the many distinct processes that allow companies to control as well as administer warehouse functions, right from when the goods or materials are inside a warehouse until they get dispatched.
As an example, through warehouse management, one gets visibility into a company’s inventory at any given moment and location, no matter if the materials or goods are lying on the shop floor, or whether they’re in transit.
