How the management system for warehouses and stores integrates into the supply chain.
WMS (Warehouse Management System)
The ERP system takes charge of accounting, invoicing, order management, and the majority of inventory-related tasks. Typically, orders are automatically generated through integration with the TMS from ERP or order management systems. The ERP system also provides the necessary order details to the TMS for shipment preparation and execution. In addition to essential information such as customer name and address, the ERP system supplies detailed data on items to guarantee the accurate dispatch of products

TMS (Transportation Management System)
The TMS provides essential shipment details required by the ERP system for accounting and order management, including tracking numbers, carrier names, and associated costs. Additionally, the shipment information might be forwarded to a customer relationship management (CRM) module for updating customers on order statuses. In certain cases, integration between the TMS and WMS enhances coordination for logistics tasks at the intersection of warehouses and freight shippers. This encompasses activities like palletization of goods, labor scheduling, yard management, load building, and cross-docking.
