Acumatica Warehouse Management vs Advanced WMS

Acumatica provides comprehensive inventory and warehouse management capabilities for growing businesses. But as warehouse operations become more complex, there may come a point when specialist functionality can add greater control, automation and efficiency.

So when is Acumatia Warehouse Management enough – and when should you consider integrating an advanced WMS such as evexso?

Acumatica Cloud ERP brings inventory, orders, purchasing, fulfilment and financial data together in one connected platform. Its warehouse management capabilities support businesses in managing inventory and warehouse operations without relying on disconnected systems.

Depending on your requirements and Acumatica configuration, warehouse capabilities can include:

  • Inventory and warehouse management

  • Multiple warehouse locations and bins
  • Barcode-enabled workflows
  • Picking, packing and shipping
  • Inventory transfers
  • Lot and serial number tracking
  • Cycle counting
  • Real-time inventory reporting

When might you need an advanced WMS?

As transaction volumes and operational complexity increase, some businesses need more specialised warehouse execution capabilities.

An advanced WMS may become worth considering when you need more sophisticated mobile workflows, intelligent task management, automated putaway and replenishment, advanced picking strategies or greater control across complex warehouse operations.

  • Growing order volumes – Increasing throughput is putting pressure on existing warehouse processes.
  • Inventory accuracy challenges –Discrepancies are affecting fulfilment, planning or customer service.
  • Complex multi-site operations – Multiple warehouses require greater coordination and operational control.
  • Picking and fulfilment errors – Errors are affecting productivity or customer satisfaction.
  • Warehouse productivity constraints – Existing processes are limiting your ability to scale efficiently.
  • Greater real-time visibility – Operational teams need more detailed insight into warehouse activity as it happens.
