SAP Warehouse Management: Simple warehouse management through implementation of SAP EWM
Constantly evolving market, client and competitive behavior increases the pressure to change logistics structures, logistics processes, degrees of automation in warehouses, and warehouse management systems.
Nowadays, companies look to meet these challenges by significantly expanding the digital roadmaps of their warehouse logistics processes. The focus is on end-to-end digitalization of processes, from product development to delivery.
SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) with integrated material flow system (MFS) offers an integrated, highly flexible warehouse management system for warehouse logistics, and supports all essential manual and highly automated warehouse processes.
Added values
We guide you through all phases of implementing your SAP EWM project – from strategy development, conceptual design and creation of company-specific SAP EWM templates to roll-out in your warehouse.
Strategy identification includes evaluating the software architecture with SAP EWM as a decentralized stand-alone solution, embedded or in the cloud. We work with you to achieve a successful migration from SAP WM to SAP EWM with a tried-and-tested migration strategy, including technical implementation.
KEP App – Seamless Shipping Processes Integrated with SAP EWM
The KEP App, developed by io, provides direct integration of all major courier, express, and parcel service providers (KEP) with SAP EWM – without complex label layouts or routing code tables. Shipping labels can be generated directly from SAP standard Fiori pack apps, custom pack apps, or via the KEP App.
Modern cloud services, such as Ship Cloud, offer a unified interface to multiple KEP providers. Shipping labels, tracking numbers, and shipment information can be generated automatically and seamlessly integrated into SAP processes – regardless of the chosen shipping partner.
The KEP App is fully embedded in SAP EWM and highly adaptable. The result is fast implementation, low maintenance, and maximum flexibility in choosing or expanding shipping partners.
Key Benefits of the KEP App:
- Label printing directly from SAP standard Fiori pack apps or custom pack apps
- No more complex label layouts or routing codes
- Unified API connection to multiple shipping providers via cloud services
- Low maintenance, flexible, and scalable for reliable and secure shipping processes
