In the commercial wave of the 21st century, enterprises are facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. With the increasingly fierce market competition, consumers' demand for products and services is becoming more diversified and personalized. Enterprises must continuously improve their operating efficiency and response speed in order to be invincible in the fierce market competition. As a vital link in the supply chain, the intelligent transformation of warehousing management has become the key for enterprises to achieve efficient operation, reduce costs and enhance competitiveness. Choosing a suitable warehouse management system (WMS) is undoubtedly a wise move for enterprises to open a new era of intelligent warehouse management.

1. Dilemmas and challenges of traditional warehouse management

Under the traditional warehouse management model, enterprises often face many difficulties and challenges. First, inaccurate inventory information is a common problem. Due to errors in manual recording and management, coupled with frequent inventory changes, there is often a deviation between inventory data and actual inventory, which not only affects the production plan of the enterprise, but also may cause inventory backlog or shortage, causing economic losses to the enterprise.

Secondly, low operating efficiency is also one of the pain points of traditional warehouse management. Traditional warehousing operations rely on manual operations, such as cargo handling, sorting, inventory counting, etc. These tasks are not only labor-intensive, but also inefficient and prone to errors. With the expansion of enterprise scale and the increase in business volume, the traditional warehousing operation model has been difficult to meet the needs of enterprises.

Furthermore, high costs are also a problem that traditional warehouse management cannot avoid. Due to high labor costs, backward equipment, poor management and other reasons, the warehousing cost remains high and has become an important part of the operating cost of enterprises. In today's increasingly fierce market competition, reducing warehousing costs has become an inevitable choice for enterprises to enhance their competitiveness.

Finally, traditional warehouse management also faces the problem of slow response speed. In a rapidly changing market environment, enterprises need to respond quickly to market demand and order changes, but the traditional warehouse management model is often difficult to respond quickly due to poor information transmission and cumbersome operation processes, resulting in enterprises missing market opportunities.
