Warehouse Management vs. Inventory Management

What is a Cloud-Based 3PL Warehouse Management System?

A Cloud-Based 3PL Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a modern solution for managing warehouse operations, hosted on a secure remote server rather than on-site infrastructure. This allows third-party logistics (3PL) providers to manage inventory, process orders, and track shipments in real time from any location, ensuring seamless and efficient operations.

Key Features of a Cloud 3PL WMS:

• Real-Time Inventory Management: Monitor and manage stock levels instantly.
• Multi-Client and Multi-Location Support: Handle multiple clients and warehouses effortlessly.
• Headless eCommerce and Carrier Integrations: Easily integrate with eCommerce platforms and shipping carriers.
• Automated Picking, Packing, and Shipping: Streamline fulfillment processes through automation.
• Business Scalability: Adapt and grow operations as business needs evolve.

This system empowers 3PL providers with flexibility, scalability, and efficiency, making it an ideal choice for modern logistics management.

Which solution do you think best fits your business needs—Inventory Management or Warehouse Management? You can choose an Inventory Management System if you only require stock tracking across many locations, syncing to online shops, and stock count. However, if you’re looking to maximize the use of warehouse space, reduce the time it takes to fulfill an order, and minimize picking and packing errors, opt for a Warehouse Management System.

For businesses processing a large volume of Orders and complex logistics processes, a combination of systems including robust, flexible Fulfillor’s Warehouse Management System and Inventory Management capabilities will be an ideal solution.
