While at the 2024 HIDA Streamlining Healthcare Expo & Business Exchange that took place in Dallas recently, our team had the opportunity to meet with dozens of healthcare industry businesses who shared some of the challenges they routinely face within their industry. These include optimizing workflows, future forecasting, data security, meeting the ever-changing regulations of the industry, improving efficiency in warehousing and distribution operations, and handling vendor chargebacks.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into many industries has led to incredible advancement, including within the warehousing sector. AI technologies have brought about a substantial transformation in traditional warehouse operations by providing creative solutions that improve overall efficiency and streamline processes. The warehouse industry has reached a turning point and warehouse management is entering a period of never-before-seen innovation and efficiency.

A warehouse management system's (WMS) main goal is to make sure that materials and goods are moved through warehouses accurately and as cost-effectively and efficiently as possible. A WMS handles many functions that enable these movements, including inventory tracking, picking, receiving, and put away. By monitoring inventory and ensuring that items are correctly sorted, stored, dispatched, and tracked, a WMS plays a crucial role in ensuring that operations run smoothly.
