Warehouse Management System

What is important in a WMS for automotive manufacturing?

A warehouse management system (WMS) is a software solution for controlling, monitoring and optimising all processes within a warehouse. This includes goods receipt, storage location management, picking, replenishment, despatch and stocktaking. The aim of a WMS is to make warehouse stocks transparent, shorten throughput times and organise warehouse logistics more efficiently.


In modern industrial environments, a WMS must not only function reliably, but also be able to be flexibly adapted to different production and logistics requirements. Interfaces to ERP, production and transport management systems are now standard.


nemetris offers a WMS solution that is tailored to the requirements of automotive manufacturing and customised to warehouse types and storage scenarios. The software not only supports classic warehouse processes, but also integrates them seamlessly into higher-level production and supply chain processes - also in conjunction with just-in-time and just-in-sequence scenarios.

Functions and features of a WMS

  • Incoming goods: Recording and checking of delivered goods
