Rather than just tracking the number or depletion of an inventory item, warehouse inventory management tools also track location in and around the warehouse. Warehouse management Systems (WMS) can track by compartment and bins rather than just the general (ex: store) location. For example, if you use inventory management software for a kit, it would track the parts and the completed kits, whereas a warehouse inventory management system will let you know where each part is in relation to the kit-building process.
