We implement SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) for large or small warehouses, manual or automated. Profitably. To do this, we have developed Westernacher “We scan” solutions and many other SAP extensions that perfect your warehouse management and accelerate your project. That makes us your partner of choice. With more than 25 years of experience. Ideal for your next generation warehouse.
We help you on your warehouse journey.
As a leading consulting company with a rich experience and dedicated expertise in implementing SAP software, we know both the requirements and implications of changing and optimizing business processes and the technology perspective. Therefore, we teamed up and developed an approach that helps companies save time, empower users and become proactive instead of reactive. When guiding companies and organizations on their transformation process to SAP EWM we have a clear roadmap and a set of customized packages.

Connected Forklift
Bring your warehouse to the next level.
Here we achieve transparency of forklift truck movements, utilization and efficiency. In addition, we offer a higher degree of automation based on geofencing, through which we automate postings based on geofences. E.g. Once we transport a pallet to the loading area, that posting will be done automatically when the forklift enters the zone (indoor position vs. zone matching), eliminating the need for a manual scan of that pallet to the loading zone.
eXpress
Connecting your transportation partners.
Before sending packages or pallets from SAP EWM, SAP ERP or SAP TM, you first need an agreement with the respective CEP (courier, express and parcel) service provider. Each of these carriers will then have the data for the package, e.g. sender, recipient, size, weight, etc. to determine the label that should be applied. Since interfaces to the carriers are not standardized, we need software that handles communication with the carriers and prints the labels.
