High Operational Costs
Inefficient travel paths, poor labour utilisation, and reliance on costly paper-based processes slow down operations.

For companies managing large distribution centres, complex cross-docking operations, or high-volume picking environments, basic Warehouse Management (WM) within the core ERP is insufficient. The consequences of relying on manual processes or fragmented systems include:

High Operational Costs
Inefficient travel paths, poor labour utilisation, and reliance on costly paper-based processes slow down operations.
Inventory Inaccuracies
Lack of real-time visibility into stock location leads to inventory variances, delayed orders, and inaccurate reporting.
Service Disruption
Inability to handle advanced processes like wave management, value-added services (VAS), or sophisticated automation causes bottlenecks and missed delivery deadlines.
Future-Proofing Failure
The inability to integrate with modern automation technologies (like Automated Guided Vehicles or conveyor systems) limits future scalability.
SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) provides the mission-critical functionality required to manage high-volume warehouse operations with real-time precision. As a fully integrated component of the SAP Supply Chain, SAP EWM delivers unparalleled control over every movement, from goods receipt to final shipment.
Implementing SAP EWM transforms the warehouse from a cost centre into a strategic competitive advantage, driving down costs while boosting customer satisfaction.
| Pillar | Description | Strategic Benefit |
| Inventory Accuracy | Enables advanced tools like cycle counting, physical inventory, and detailed batch and serialisation management in real time. | Reduced Variances: Achieve near-perfect inventory reliability, eliminating stock-outs and excess safety stock. |
| Optimised Throughput | Sophisticated algorithms for putaway, picking (wave management, route optimisation), and packing ensure the fastest flow of goods. | Faster Order Fulfilment: Drastically reduce warehouse cycle times and accelerate order-to-delivery. |
| Labour & Resource Management | Tools for tracking and optimising warehouse resource utilisation, including workload forecasting and task interleaving. | Cost Efficiency: Maximise worker productivity and improve planning for peak seasons. |
| Automation & MFS Integration | Seamless integration with material flow systems (MFS), conveyors, and automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). | Scalable Operations: Future-proof the warehouse with connectivity to modern robotics and automation technology. |
We provide end-to-end expertise across all deployment options (Embedded EWM in S/4HANA or Decentralised EWM) to ensure a high-performing warehouse operation tailored to your specific logistics network.
| Service Focus | Key Client Benefit | Target Client Challenge |
| SAP EWM Strategy & Blueprinting | Designing the target SAP EWM system architecture and process flows (Storage Types, Bin Structures) to match business requirements. | “We need to redesign our warehouse layout to handle increasing e-commerce demand.” |
| SAP EWM Implementation & Rollout | Full configuration and deployment of core SAP EWM functions (Inbound, Outbound, Internal Processes, Physical Inventory). | “Our current warehouse management system is reaching its functional limits.” |
| SAP WM to SAP EWM Migration | Expert migration services for clients transitioning from legacy SAP WM to the more robust SAP EWM platform, minimising downtime. | “We are moving to S/4HANA and need a low-risk migration path for our complex SAP WM setup.” |
| MFS & Automation Integration | Integrating SAP EWM with complex Material Flow Systems, AGVs, and other third-party automation components. | “Our automated systems don’t communicate efficiently with our core inventory management.” |
SAP EWM is inherently complex; therefore, training must be highly practical and specific to the user’s role and the physical layout of your warehouse. Our training focuses on operational efficiency and system mastery across all levels.
