A typical warehouse consists of multiple information systems. How do they work together smoothly?

Warehouses today are highly complex operations that require a host of technology to oversee the receipt, storage, picking and shipping of goods. But the warehouse execution system is where the pieces of the puzzle come together. With its origin in warehouse control systems, the WES has evolved in recent years to play a crucial role in meeting growing demands by consumers for fast and efficient fulfillment of orders. It automates decisions, orchestrates both humans and machines, and manages overall operational flow. On this episode, Seth Patin, chief executive officer of LogistiVIEW, explains how the modern-day WES allows warehouses to derive full value from expensive assets, while providing a new level of flexibility in operations. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.

This episode is sponsored by LogistiVIEW.
