inconsoWMS eXtended is oriented towards the demands of customers towards their logistics processes, towards their warehouse size, towards their individual requirements. The modular design allows for combining the standardized module blocks. The core consists of all the basic functions that a modern warehouse management system needs: User and authorization management, warehouse configuration, inventory management, load unit management, booking logic, stock monitoring and maintenance, process controls and master data management. The extensive configuration possibilities leaves no wish unanswered. On this core, the logistics functions are set up in form of components: from the goods receiving, order processing to the picking, packing and shipping through to the replenishment control, transport processing with transport / forklift systems and inventory. And because inconsoWMS eXtended is an open system, it can be extended with project specific functionalities at any time.
