Introducing a WCS with a WMS may result in an overlap of functionality between systems
Where multiple software products make up the overall solution
there is usually some duplication of functionality between systems
This is inevitable as software vendors add more capabilities
and extend the scope of their products
For example
an ERP, WMS
and WCS may all have an inventory control module.
The basic functions of product movements are addressed in all three systems
But each
system is focused on its own specific requirements
