Warehouse Execution Systems

Pyramid’s NEXUS Warehouse Execution System is a software platform designed to serve as the centralized intelligence layer of modern distribution and operations. Built on decades of automation expertise, NEXUS orchestrates people, processes, and automation in real time, bridging the gap between Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Warehouse Control Systems (WCS), ERP platforms, and material handling technologies.

What is a WES?

WES is a performance optimization software that sits below a WMS and encompasses a WCS. It utilizes sophisticated algorithms to leverage real-time inputs from all automation, as well as data from inventory, order, labor, transportation and other activities with a WES in place, a distribution center’s operations can be optimized and dynamically managed, end-to-end.

Although the terminology may be new, for some, the functionality of a WES is not. Many of the functions now packaged as WES have been available from traditional WCS providers for years.

A WES acts on information from both a WMS and WCS, orchestrating operations to more deftly tackle today’s high-level fulfillment challenges.
