Warehouse Management System Features and Functions
Building on these keystone requirements, the ITL system should enable the enterprise to manage its inventory, in transit and at rest, providing tools to enable in-transit visibility, exception management, product diversion, merge in-transit, cross-docking, and other strategies that are part of moving products through a series of geographic locations. This should be facilitated through support of warehouse and transportation system functions, either directly or through interfaces with other systems.
