Warehouse execution systems (WES) are computerized systems used in warehouses and distribution centers to manage and orchestrate the physical flow of products from receiving through shipping. Warehouses are storage facilities for raw materials and parts used in manufacturing operations; distribution centers (DCs) are facilities that store and distribute finished goods to retail locations, consumers, and other end customers.

| - Warehouse execution systems (WES) are computerized systems used in warehouses and distribution centers to manage and orchestrate the physical flow of products from receiving through shipping. Warehouses are storage facilities for raw materials and parts used in manufacturing operations; distribution centers (DCs) are facilities that store and distribute finished goods to retail locations, consumers, and other end customers. WES software organizes sequences and directs DC resources - both people and automation systems - necessary to move goods within a warehouse or DC, including: receiving, checking and sorting inbound products for storage (receiving); putaway of received goods into storage; replenishment of picking locations from storage; picking of customer orders; order assembly, checking and packing; loading and shipping. WES works in real time to enable the control of multiple elements of a warehouse process (e.g. inventory, personnel, machines and support services) where changing conditions in one work area or process may require changes in other areas or upstream/downstream processes (reactive). WES is an intermediate step between an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system or warehouse management system WMS and the resources necessary to perform the various warehouse processes. These resources include workers as well as the process control systems used for warehouse automation, often referred to as warehouse control systems or WCS. The WES communicates with inventory and order management systems (such as an ERP or WMS) and the personnel and machinery (including conveyor systems and sorters) that perform the physical tasks involved in the warehouse processes.
