3PL warehouses are busy businesses moving hundreds if not thousands of parcels every day. Managing the processes involved with picking, packaging, shipping, and tracking is a tremendous task. Trying to do it manually is next to impossible.

That’s the reason why 3PL warehouse managers trust warehouse management systems to do the work for them. With so many options to choose from, selecting the right WMS requires in-depth research of the system to see if it meets your expectations.

Here are five primary functions of a WMS that all managers require to manage their operations on a day-to-day basis.
