At the same time, the system can also predict future inventory change trends based on historical data and current demand, and provide data support for the company's procurement and sales plans. This real-time inventory monitoring function helps companies avoid excessive inventory and out-of-stock situations, reduce inventory costs, and improve capital turnover.

2.3 Intelligent optimization decision-making

Yibo WMS has built-in advanced algorithms and models, which can intelligently optimize warehousing operation processes according to the company's business needs and operational goals. For example, the path optimization algorithm can be used to reduce the distance and time of cargo transportation; the inventory allocation algorithm can be used to balance the inventory levels of each warehouse; and the order merging and splitting strategies can be used to improve order processing efficiency and customer satisfaction. These intelligent optimization decision-making functions help companies achieve refined and intelligent warehousing management and improve overall operational efficiency.

2.4 Collaborative operation and integration

Yibo WMS not only focuses on the management of a single warehouse, but also focuses on collaborative operations with upstream and downstream supply chains. By integrating ERP, CRM, TMS and other systems, WMS can achieve seamless docking and collaborative operations with procurement, sales, production, transportation and other links. This collaborative operation mode helps to break information silos, realize data sharing and process collaboration, reduce the delay and error rate of information transmission, and improve the overall efficiency of the supply chain.
