Don’t believe us? Following are the typical, real-world numbers from FDM4 WMS clients:
Order Management, Perfected
FDM4’s Order Manager transforms the way your warehouse handles fulfillment, combining intelligent built-in logic with powerful wave management to make your order operations faster, smarter, and more efficient than ever. Management gains a true 360-degree view of all work available in the ERP system, with the flexibility to release orders in waves and allow one or more workers to pick the same wave simultaneously dramatically increasing throughput without sacrificing accuracy.Â
A pre-release review and fill rate analysis ensures inventory availability is confirmed before every wave is released, while urgent replenishments eliminate costly mispicks and fulfillment delays before they happen. Built-in order prioritization automatically handles rush orders, VIP customers, and carrier cutoff deadlines without manual intervention. Seamless ERP integration delivers real-time order tracking and status updates, providing complete end-to-end visibility from order placement to shipment.
Inventory Management that Works for You
FDM4 Inventory Management delivers virtual 100% inventory accuracy through real-time tracking across every location in your facility giving warehouse managers and order takers complete visibility into stock levels, item locations, and availability at any given moment. By combining dynamic slotting and consolidation with intelligent space utilization, FDM4 streamlines warehouse operations for optimal workflow, reduced carrying costs, and greater employee productivity. Flexible stock rotation methods including FIFO, FEFO, LIFO, and LEFO ensure your inventory is always managed in the right sequence, while lot control, expiration date tracking, and serial number tracking provide the granular traceability required for regulated and high-value industries. Rounding out the module, built-in kitting and assembly capabilities support value-added services directly within your warehouse workflow eliminating the need for manual workarounds and keeping fulfillment moving at full speed.
Total Inventory Control, From Dock to Dock
FDM4 Inventory Control delivers near 100% inventory accuracy by combining barcode data capture with non-stop process verification and real-time data integrity validation from the receiving dock all the way to the shipping dock. Continuous visibility into item, location, zone, and status ensures warehouse managers always have an up-to-the-minute picture of their entire inventory landscape across every storage facility and zone. Triggered and on-demand replenishment keeps pick faces stocked and fulfillment flowing without interruption, while ABC and bin hit analysis provide the actionable intelligence needed to optimize slotting, reduce travel time, and improve overall warehouse efficiency. Item consolidation eliminates wasted space and keeps your warehouse organized and audit-ready at all times. Scheduled and on-demand cycle counting, combined with full physical inventory capabilities, ensures records stay accurate without disrupting daily operations and because cycle counts, top-offs, and replenishments are performed without freezing an item, your clients’ orders are never impacted. The result is a warehouse that runs leaner, faster, and with confidence that your inventory data is always accurate.
Outbound Operations, Optimized
FDM4 WMS Outbound empowers warehouse managers to take full control of outbound traffic — reducing order cycle fulfillment times, increasing order throughput, and catches errors and exceptions before inventory is unnecessarily moved. At the core of the module is a rules-based engine that intelligently manages picking, packing, and shipping workflows, ensuring every order is fulfilled accurately and efficiently. Built-in verification and validation at each stage of the outbound process minimizes errors before goods ever leave the dock. Wave and batch picking capabilities group orders intelligently to optimize pick paths and reduce labor costs, and real-time order prioritization ensures rush orders, VIP customers, and carrier cutoff deadlines are always met. Electronic shipping notifications keep customers and supply chain partners informed at every step, and multi-carrier support with automated label generation ensures every shipment leaves with the right documentation, on time, every time.
Smarter Receiving Starts Here
FDM4 WMS Inbound delivers continuous inventory visibility combined with real-time data validation and verification, empowering warehouse teams to drive meaningful improvements across inventory lifecycle planning, space utilization, and employee productivity. Featuring advance ship notice (ASN) and pre-receipt visibility, your team is prepared before goods even arrive. Planned and unplanned receiving via barcode scanning ensures every inbound shipment is accurately captured the moment inventory enters your facility and directed put away reduces touches, minimizes errors, and accelerates dock-to-stock times. Cross-docking support allows high-priority goods to flow directly to outbound orders, and seamless RMA and returns processing keeps reverse logistics just as organized as your inbound flow. From the first ASN to the final put away confirmation, every step of your inbound operation is optimized, accurate, and fully under control.
Labor Management - Your Workforce, Optimized
FDM4 Labor Management gives warehouse operators the tools to effectively measure, manage, and maximize their most valuable resource — their people. By providing complete visibility across warehouses, departments, shifts, tasks, and individual employees, managers can identify inefficiencies, balance workloads, and drive continuous improvement across every corner of the operation. Comprehensive transaction logging ensures every activity is captured and traceable, while robust productivity reporting delivers the actionable insights needed to set performance benchmarks, reward top performers, and make informed staffing decisions. The result is a more engaged workforce, a more efficient warehouse, and a stronger bottom line.
Smart Kitting with End-to-End Inventory Control
Take the complexity out of kit assembly with our fully integrated kitting workflow built right into your WMS. From item configuration to kit release, every step is tracked, validated, and inventory-accurate in real time. Set up kit components once, and our system guides your warehouse team through the entire pick, build, and release process via RF gun ensuring the right parts, in the right quantities, every time. Dedicated kit zones, cart-based staging, and automated inventory adjustments mean your component stock goes down, and your finished kit inventory goes up the moment a build is complete no manual reconciliation required. Pair that with purpose-built reporting tools like the Kit Availability and Item Availability reports, and your team always knows exactly what can be built today and what needs to be sourced. The result is an accurate, auditable kit-building process that keeps inventory balanced and warehouse operations running smoothly.
Business Rules - Built Around Your Business
No two warehouses operate the same way and FDM4 WMS is built with that reality in mind. Through a powerful combination of configurable system tables and Business Rules, FDM4 adapts to your unique operational environment without the need for custom programming. Configuration can be managed at the host or warehouse level and is established during implementation according to your organization’s specific needs, delivering top-down business process tuning grounded in warehouse best practices. Using an intuitive web browser interface, setup is fast, flexible, and accessible to authorized users who understand your operations and several system tables can even be loaded automatically during implementation. Once live, FDM4’s Decision Support System uses your Business Rules to guide associates through their day-to-day tasks, systematically enforcing your processes and procedures on the warehouse floor while preserving the flexibility your business demands. Whether you operate one facility or multiple, FDM4 supports a single database across multiple locations each with its own distinct Business Rules giving you enterprise-wide consistency with site-level precision.
