A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a software application that helps a warehouse maintain accurate inventory and efficiently fulfill orders. A WMS not only tracks inventory, but it also helps users gain efficiency and accuracy by tracking all activity inside a warehouse's four walls, including receiving, picking and shipping, which helps cut costs. Here's an example: When an associate needs to pick inventory for an order, the WMS shows the associate the picks in an efficient picking travel path, minimizing the travel time.
An inventory control system acts as a system of records for a "summarized version" of the on-hand inventory whereas a WMS tracks more detailed information about the inventory. A WMS helps optimize all warehouse activities, like receiving, putaway, picking, replenishment and shipments; this is not possible in an inventory control system. Here's an example: A WMS helps associates by directing them to a particular putaway location, based on storage rules, so the inventory is stored in an appropriate location, such as cold storage, caged location or HAZMAT storage.
Foysonis is specifically built for small to mid-size warehouses utilizing advanced cloud computing technology. Therefore, Foysonis is 60 to 90 percent lower in cost than comparable legacy on-premise WMS vendors, making this product the most affordable in today's WMS market. Foysonis strives to pass on the savings gained from its technological innovation to its customers.
Owning a small warehouse can be challenging. If managing its daily operations has slowed productivity, it's time for a WMS. Not being able to locate items in the warehouse or not being able to quickly fulfill and ship an emergency customer order results in serious problems. Implementing and beginning to use a WMS offers businesses multiple benefits: (1) improved inventory accuracy; (2) increased associate productivity; (3) reduced fulfilment time; and (4) improved customer satisfaction. These operational benefits directly impact the businesses' financial health by reducing cost, increasing profits and positioning your business for accelerated growth.

The lead time necessary to set up a warehouse in Foysonis depends on how many locations and unique items you will maintain in the WMS. Depending on this number, you can be up and running in as soon as a few hours or a week at the most.
That's one of the great things about Foysonis. Foysonis WMS runs on existing hardware, using the power of cloud computing. Any computer, tablet or smartphone installed with modern browsers can run Foysonis. With that said, if you use barcodes in your warehouse, you may need to purchase a Bluetooth barcode scanner (for tablets and smartphones) or a USB wedge barcode scanner (for desktops and laptops). These barcode scanners cost $20 to $100 per scanner.
Foysonis WMS can be accessed on any desktop, laptop or tablet (iPad, Android Tablet) installed with modern browsers. Foysonis also has a WMS app specifically made for iPhone and iPod Touch devices. This app can be downloaded from the Apple app store. An Android app is in the works and will be made available on the Google Play store when available.
