A warehouse control system is a sophisticated management application that enables your business to manage and direct the real-time activities in a warehouse or distribution center. These systems provide a single interface for multiple systems.

The purpose of a warehouse control system is to: 

• Interface with the warehouse management system and provide information needed to manage distribution
• Provide real-time information to managers and operators inside the warehouse
• Allocate work to subsystems to handle the existing workload
• Send shipments to designated spots based on pre-set commands
• Collect data on warehouse operations
