Warehouse Management Software for Manufacturers
Multi-location stock, lot traceability, kitting, and material staging — connected to your production schedule. The WMS that understands BOMs, work orders, and shop-floor consumption, not just receiving and shipping.
Distribution WMS vs. Manufacturing WMS
Distribution / 3PL WMS
- Optimized for receive → putaway → pick → ship
- Treats every part as a SKU, ignoring BOM relationships
- No connection to a production schedule
- WIP between operations is invisible
- Lot tracking is bolted on, not native
RMDB Manufacturing WMS
- Optimized for material flow into and through production
- Understands multi-level BOMs up to 10 levels deep
- Live integration with finite capacity scheduling
- Tracks raw, WIP, and finished goods in one system
- Full lot and serial genealogy native to the platform
