Kladana updates built-in WMS to enhance inventory efficiency

Kladana has released a major update to its built-in Warehouse Management System (WMS) that improves the efficiency of receiving, picking sales orders, shipping, transferring, and conducting inventory counts, ultimately enhancing both inventory and sales management.

This module in Kladana ERP is designed to streamline the management of physical stock and warehouse operations for small and medium-sized businesses.

“Kladana WMS is useful for businesses facing challenges with stock control, unsure of their exact inventory, storage locations, or whether stock units have relevant barcodes. Kladana WMS streamlines end-to-end warehouse operations, allowing MSMEs to seamlessly manage all processes on a single platform. This unified interface eliminates the need to switch between multiple software tools, offering businesses better control and organization from one place,” reads the release.

Kladana is a global cloud-based ERP software solutions provider, designed specifically for small to mid-sized manufacturing and wholesale companies. Founded in 2007 with headquarters in Moscow, Russia, Kladana serves over 3 million registered users across Russia, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and India.

The WMS module is available at no extra cost for Kladana users with paid plans, included with the current subscription. No integration or complex setup required, saving businesses money.

“Manage stock, warehouse operations, sales, manufacturing, and more within a single software application. With Kladana ERP’s integrated modules, you can eliminate the need to switch between multiple tools, boosting efficiency and reducing manual processes. Track stock levels, locations, and movements in real-time to minimize discrepancies and ensure accurate order picking. Enhanced inventory visibility improves confidence in order fulfilment and stock management,” it reads.

Key Updates

Address storage
Companies can now count stock by locations and storage bins, improving stock management for businesses with large or complex inventories. Bins are uniquely identified by location (zone, row, and rack) and name, speeding up order picking, packing, and tracking while reducing search times.

Barcode scanning
Items, packaging, bundles, and storage bins can now be barcoded, increasing warehouse efficiency and minimizing human errors. Scanning directly from the warehouse floor ensures accurate, up-to-date inventory records.

Enhanced reporting
Timely and accurate updates and reports on stock levels, warehouse operations, and stock movements enable informed decision-making. Kladana’s advanced reporting tools provide insights into process effectiveness and inventory behaviour.

The Director of Kladana in India, Aleksandra Brovchuk said, "Indian MSMEs and D2C brands often struggle with inventory accuracy and warehouse space management. With our recent WMS update, we aim to help businesses manage inventory more efficiently by improving warehouse management. Features like real-time stock visibility, bin storage, barcode scanning, and partial inventory counts by location will reduce errors, optimize order picking, and enhance operational efficiency. Ultimately, this update supports SMEs in staying organized and responsive to market demands with a single integrated platform."

Kladana's new WMS tackles the common challenge of inventory management uncertainty and time-consuming inventory counts. By using warehouse locations and storage bins, items are tracked more clearly, improving operational efficiency and simplifying processes.
