The numbers that matter, when the warehouse is really running smoothly

A well-run warehouse runs smoothly: goods arrive, are stored, and are shipped out on time, and the systems are all in sync. sedApta's WMS is designed to make this standard of operation achievable, even in complex, multi-site environments or those with high product turnover.

Inventory is always up to date

Real-time bin-level visibility across the entire inventory, including lots, serial numbers, and expiration dates. No discrepancies between the system and the physical world. 

More productive operators

Smart task management: every operator receives the right task, in the right place, at the right time. Fewer unnecessary trips, more throughput per shift. 

Orders fulfilled with precision

Guided picking with configurable priority rules (FEFO, FIFO, ABC). Error rates are eliminated where precision is critical. 

Native integration with the supply chain

The WMS communicates in real time with the ERP, APS, and TMS. Inventory data is directly fed into production planning and shipping. 

What sedApta's WMS actually does

  • Optimized receiving and put-away: Every incoming shipment is validated, assigned to a storage location based on configurable rules (weight, turnover, product compatibility), and tracked immediately at the LPN level.
  • Multi-attribute inventory management: Batches, expiration dates, serial numbers, variable weights: the WMS handles the complexity of food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and manufactured goods without requiring custom configurations.
  • Smart and multi-wave picking: Support for wave picking, batch picking, zone picking, and waveless picking. Instructions are delivered in real time to RF terminals, mobile devices, or voice systems.
  • Task management and labor tracking: Each task is assigned to the nearest and most suitable operator. The system tracks time and performance by shift, by area, and by person, without the need for Excel spreadsheets.
  • Shipping and document compliance: From order confirmation to the generation of shipping documents, everything is automated. The WMS synchronizes with the TMS to optimize loads and meet delivery windows.
  • Multi-site management and extended visibility: A single interface for managing multiple warehouses, even across different locations. Inventory visibility is consolidated in real time, with customizable alerts for critical thresholds.

Extended Warehouse Management: The Solution to New Challenges

In recent years, logistics has been transformed by factors such as fluctuating demand, shorter sales cycles, and the need for end-to-end traceability. Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) was developed specifically to address these needs, integrating warehouse management with extended supply chain and transportation management processes.

 

Warehouse Management System: the advanced Warehouse Management system

The Warehouse Management System (WMS) is designed to optimize and simplify logistics operations. It enables you to manage the flow of goods from receipt to shipment, with full visibility and control over inventory, resources, and processes. 

Supply Chain Execution and End-to-End Integration

Warehouse management is not a standalone component, but an integral part of supply chain execution, which includes order management, logistics, and transportation. The goal is to increase responsiveness and efficiency throughout the entire supply chain, ensuring on-time deliveries and reducing operating costs.

 

Thanks to sedApta’s Extended Warehouse Management and WMS, the warehouse evolves from a mere cost center into a strategic lever of the supply chain, improving visibility, operational agility, and customer service quality.

FAQ

  • A Warehouse Management System is software that simplifies and optimizes warehouse operations, managing the flow of goods from receipt to shipment with visibility and control over inventory, resources and processes. It is used to reduce costs, improve service levels and keep traceability under control. The sedApta WMS connects the warehouse with planning and production: you get real-time inventory, automated picking and shipping workflows, and native integration with ERP and TMS.

  • A WMS focuses on internal warehouse operations: receiving, storage, picking and shipping. Extended Warehouse Management widens that scope by combining warehouse management with extended supply chain and transportation management processes. It was developed to handle fluctuating demand, shorter sales cycles and the need for end-to-end traceability. The sedApta WMS follows this extended approach, exchanging data in real time with APS, TMS and ERP.

  • The sedApta WMS gives you real-time visibility of all stock at bin level, including lots, serial numbers and expiry dates. Every item is tracked at LPN level from the moment it arrives, and every movement updates inventory immediately, so system data matches what is physically on the shelf. Multi-attribute inventory management also covers variable weights, for food, pharmaceutical, chemical and manufacturing products, without custom configuration.

  • The sedApta WMS supports wave picking, batch picking, zone picking and waveless picking, so you can choose the strategy that fits your volumes and order profiles. Picking is guided by configurable priority rules: FEFO (first expired, first out), FIFO (first in, first out) and ABC classification. Instructions reach operators in real time, cutting errors where accuracy is critical.

  • On arrival, every incoming shipment is validated and assigned a storage location based on rules you configure, such as weight, turnover and product compatibility. Goods are tracked at LPN level from receipt, so you always know where they are. Rule-based put-away makes better use of space and sets the warehouse up for faster picking.

  • Task management assigns each task to the nearest and most suitable operator, reducing unnecessary travel and increasing throughput per shift. Labor tracking measures time and performance by shift, area and individual operator, without spreadsheets. You get the data you need to balance workloads and see where productivity can improve.

  • Yes. The sedApta WMS supports manual, semi-automated and fully automated warehouses. Operating instructions reach operators in real time on RF terminals, mobile devices or voice systems, so you can use the devices that suit the way you work and raise your level of automation over time.

  • The sedApta WMS exchanges data in real time with ERP, APS and TMS. Inventory data feeds the APS to recalculate production schedules, while shipments sync with the TMS to optimize loads and routes and meet delivery windows. In discrete manufacturing, the WMS connects to the MES to manage incoming components and work-in-progress, keeping the warehouse and production lines in sync.

  • Yes. With the sedApta WMS you manage multiple warehouses, including at different sites, from a single interface. You get consolidated real-time inventory across the network and configurable alerts when stock reaches critical thresholds.

  • The sedApta WMS has specific configurations for four industries. In Food & Beverage, it handles FEFO, lot traceability, expiry dates and temperature, with just-in-time replenishment linked to production planning. In Fashion & Luxury, it manages sizes, colors and variants, multi-order picking for e-commerce and retail, and quality control before shipping. In Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics, it covers serialization, lot numbers, GMP compliance, an audit trail on every movement, quarantine and QC release. In discrete manufacturing, it connects to the MES for components and work-in-progress.

The WMS within the O.S.A. suite

The sedApta WMS is not a standalone system. It is part of the O.S.A. (Orchestrate, Sense, Act) suite, which integrates strategic supply chain planning, operational warehouse execution, and factory production control. This means that inventory data from the WMS is fed directly into the APS to recalculate production schedules, and that shipments are synchronized with the TMS for route optimization.
