The central role of WMS dashboards: Maximum efficiency in the warehouse with PSIwms

07.02.2024

An overloaded or user-unfriendly dashboard can be counterproductive. Too much information and a complex design can overwhelm users and reduce efficiency. Therefore, the art of a successful WMS dashboard lies in simplicity and visual clarity. Find out how to achieve this with our PSIwms warehouse management system here.

An efficient dashboard is the heart of a modern warehouse management system. It enables logistics employees to have an overview of all relevant data in real time - a decisive advantage for controlling warehouse processes. An optimal WMS dashboard visualizes the warehouse status and need for action at a glance, enabling quick decisions and reactions.

The user expectations of a WMS dashboard are clearly defined: It should clearly display the most important key figures for the warehouse. The traffic light system is particularly popular here, as it signals statuses intuitively: Green stands for normality, red for an urgent need for action. These visual signals make it easier for users to quickly understand the warehouse status and act accordingly.

The requirements for a dashboard vary depending on the user profile. Warehouse managers need an overview of overall performance, while detailed values are less of a focus. Logistics managers, on the other hand, are interested in the utilization of the various warehouse areas and the distribution of workers. The customizable dashboards in PSIwms allow a flexible combination of views that prove to be particularly valuable here.
