Every warehouse and distribution center needs a good Warehouse Control System (WCS)—an execution system that will orchestrate the day-to-day operations. And for every warehouse facility or distribution center, the key to a WCS is to efficiently manage material handling equipment, systems, and labor throughout.

A [WCS](https://info.conveyorhandling.com/blog/a-bar-above-the-rest) will plan and manage [order fulfillment](https://info.conveyorhandling.com/blog/software-in-the-fulfillment-process) for optimum efficiency in your warehouse. It coordinates all operations—from conveyor controls to routing, sorting, labeling and manifesting; ultimately, improving accuracy and throughput.

When looking for a WCS solution, consider these capabilities:

- **Inventory Management:** How do you manage your inventory and what would you like to accomplish
- **Pick/Put Away Management:** How do you want to manage order fulfillment
- **Static/Dynamic Slotting: **Having the right product in the right place at the right time
- **Form Factor:** How you interface with your Warehouse Management System (WMS)

The heat is on! [Efficiency in your warehouse](https://info.conveyorhandling.com/blog/whats-in-it-for-your-warehouse) is the key to improved productivity and better profits.  A WCS solution is the answer.
