Manufacturing WMS
Built Around the Flow of Production
Warehouse Management for Manufacturing
Complete Visibility from Raw Materials to Finished Goods
Optimize Manufacturing Operations
Manufacturing operations depend on a continuous flow of inventory. Raw materials must be available when production begins, inventory must remain accurate as products move through manufacturing, and finished goods need to be ready for storage, distribution, and fulfillment. When production and warehouse operations rely on disconnected systems, delays, manual processes, and inventory inaccuracies can impact the entire operation.
PowerHouse Manufacturing WMS connects warehouse management with production workflows to provide real-time visibility across every stage of manufacturing. Configurable workflows, intelligent system-directed work, and seamless ERP integration help manufacturers improve throughput, maintain inventory accuracy, and keep production moving without disrupting existing processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How PowerHouse WMS Drives Manufacturing Operations
How is a WMS different from an ERP for manufacturing?
An ERP manages broader business functions such as purchasing, production planning, sales, accounting, and financials. A WMS focuses on the physical movement and control of inventory within the warehouse and production environment. Manufacturers can use both systems together, with the WMS handling detailed inventory execution and exchanging information with the ERP.
Can a WMS manage raw materials for production?
Yes. A manufacturing WMS can track raw materials from receiving and storage through replenishment and production, giving manufacturers visibility into material availability throughout the operation. PowerHouse WMS extends this control into production, helping manufacturers manage the flow of raw materials as they are needed by production.
How does a WMS handle production replenishment?
A manufacturing WMS can use configurable inventory, capacity, and consumption rules to determine when materials need to be replenished at production locations. The PowerHouse Production Module uses these rules to direct replenishment as materials are consumed, helping keep production supplied while reducing manual material movement and the risk of shortages.
Can a Manufacturing WMS track inventory through production?
Yes. A manufacturing WMS can maintain visibility as materials move from raw inventory through production and into finished goods. PowerHouse tracks inventory throughout this process, giving manufacturers visibility into material consumption, production inventory, and finished goods within the same WMS.
Does a Manufacturing WMS support Bill of Materials?
Bill of Materials (BOM) functionality allows manufacturers to define the components required to produce a finished product and manage their consumption during production. PowerHouse supports multi-level Bills of Materials, making it possible to manage complex products and assemblies while maintaining accurate inventory throughout the production process.
How does a WMS support manufacturing lot traceability?
A WMS can track raw materials and their relationship to finished goods throughout the manufacturing process. This creates a record of material movement and consumption that can help manufacturers investigate quality issues, identify affected inventory, and respond to recalls. PowerHouse provides lot traceability from raw materials through finished goods, giving manufacturers greater visibility into product history and inventory.
