Rulewave

At Rulewave, we continuously invest in state-of-the-art technology. It is essential in increasing efficiency, visibility, and transparency throughout the supply chain. But with the intricacies of technology and the supply chain itself, come many different terms and abbreviations.

In this guide, we demystify three common and essential terms used when discussing technology in logistics; TMS, WMS, and EDI. By understanding these three key terms, you will gain valuable insights into how the correct use of technology can revolutionize your supply chain.

‍

Transportation Management System (TMS):

A Transportation Management System (TMS) is a powerful software solution designed to streamline and optimize transportation operations. Whether you are shipping goods across the country or around the world, a TMS can help effectively plan, execute, and manage transportation processes. Rulewave has created a custom-made TMS tailored to our customers’ needs to guarantee complete visibility at all times and improved cost- and time efficiency.

‍

Warehouse Management System (WMS):

A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a critical component of any modern warehouse or distribution center. It provides the tools and functionalities needed to efficiently manage inventory, storage, and movement of goods within a warehouse. Rulewave’s cloud-based WMS provides customers with real-time stock updates and automates key warehouse processes such as receiving, picking, packing, and shipping, leading to improved accuracy and productivity.

‍

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI):

Instead of relying on paper-based documents, EDI enables the electronic exchange of business documents in a standardized format, meaning that different systems are now able to exchange data. Rulewave’s use of EDI interfaces reduces manual errors, minimizes administrative impact, and streamlines supply chain processes.

‍

In conclusion, understanding the terms TMS, WMS, and EDI is a start on the comprehensive journey of understanding data-driven decision-making, and learning more about how the deployment of innovative technology supports Rulewave in offering tailor-made sustainable logistics solutions that are efficient and offer total transparency and visibility.
