Cart.com’s WMS and TMS solutions enable merchants and warehouse operators to drive improvements across inbounding, picking and packing, shipping and returns
Cart.com, a leading provider of unified commerce and logistics software and services, announced the launch of Constellation WMS and Constellation TMS, making the company’s proprietary warehouse and transportation management systems available as standalone offerings. These modules join Constellation OMS, Cart.com’s distributed order management system, which is already available as a standalone software-as-a-service offering. The OMS, WMS and TMS can be used independently or as a combined application. With capabilities spanning inbound and receiving, put away and inventory management, intelligent picking and packing, dynamic rate shopping, shipping and returns management and facility labor management, Constellation helps drive efficiency, scalability and cost savings across client operations.
