SAP EWM.
Warehouse Management with SAP Extended Warehouse Management.
The future is not as far away as some might think – robots, drones, connected forklifts, GPS, etc. will take over almost the entire warehousing and order processing functions, based on real-time data and networked systems. We can help you leverage your investment in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) to the max with innovative solutions that drive productivity, efficiency, and value add in any warehouse environment. With over 30 years’ experience implementing SAP warehouse solutions, you’ve come to the right place.
What is SAP EWM?
SAP EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) enables supply chain networks to respond to changes and provide the required flexibility. Warehouse execution will be seamlessly integrated into the entire supply chain to monitor exceptions and to provide insight into planning and operations.
Keeping a warehouse running smoothly clearly depends on transparent and accurate inventory – and wise and flexible resource management. To maximize productivity, you must automate and optimize traditional warehouse operations – from goods receipt, through storage, to packing and shipping. You also need to make the most of human resources and equipment assets, by implementing techniques such as interleaving tasks and implementing controls for space and equipment usage. SAP EWM on the SAP S/4HANA platform helps you meet these objectives.
