There are many advantages to using acquiroWMS, including:

1. Productivity: acquiroWMS not only keeps track of where your inventory is within a warehouse but also optimizes the product journey from shelf to the doorstep. For example, consider warehouse pickers. They often walk many miles a day within a warehouse picking items to fulfil orders. acquiroWMS uses wave/batch picking algorithms to cut down the walking distance. This means less walking for them and a faster packing and shipping rate for you.

2. Cutting Expenses: Running a business is expensive, but it’s even more costly when you have to constantly update your product tracking technology or call every time a product does not arrive on time. Cloud-based acquiroWMS systems are a great way to cut costs because there is no need to constantly update your tech, and you can track your inventory in real-time. The system also manages to receive orders and returns, so that businesses can prevent stock overflow or out of stock situations.

3. Real-Time Awareness: With acquiroWMS, you are in control because you can check your inventory at all times. You can see when a stock is too low or high, and even check the selling or returning frequency of a specific item. By having your warehouse data and knowledge at your fingertips, making a sale is no longer a guessing game.
