What is a Distribution Management System (DMS)?
A Distribution Management System (DMS) in ERP is a fully integrated platform that manages the entire supply chain network — from warehouse dispatch to customer delivery. It ensures that products are efficiently stored, tracked, shipped, and delivered with maximum visibility and minimum manual intervention.
In simple terms: A DMS connects all distribution activities — sales orders, inventory, shipment, transport, and delivery — into a single automated workflow that keeps your business moving.
