Warehouse Execution Systems

Warehouse Execution Systems (WES)

A warehouse execution system (WES) optimizes operations and distribution by integrating with an existing warehouse control system (WCS) or warehouse management system (WMS) to control material handling processes. Many small and midsize distributors often use a WES to consolidate their operations and eliminate the need for a WCS or WMS. A WES is especially beneficial for picking, packing and managing order fulfillment for consumers and stores. 

Siggins offers advanced WES solutions that integrate seamlessly with your existing management software to maximize performance and accuracy across all your processes. Our systems use real-time input to achieve optimization, coordinating labor and equipment to streamline your operations. Our knowledgeable and experienced team will guide you through the installation process and offer the support you need to do your best work.

How WES Software Works in Your Warehouse

Today’s warehouses require various systems that must communicate to ensure all processes run smoothly, particularly for operations that involve any degree of automation. A WES helps synchronize conveyors, robotics and other material handling equipment with the appropriate methods using real-time connections. Most WES setups act as the primary interface for WMS and other management solutions, offering operational visibility across multiple systems and processes. 

Warehouse managers can use the information and knowledge from WES insights to enhance performance throughout their facility. The following are examples of the features found in most of these systems:

• Shipping, receiving and replenishment management
• Small-parcel manifesting
• Inventory management
• Automated zone skipping
• Order processing and wave planning
• Pick-and-pack and sort management
