SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is the modern solution for companies striving for efficiency. It streamlines operations, optimizes resources, and minimizes errors, allowing you to lead in the market.

SAP EWM Includes:

Inbound Logistics: Managing ASN, goods receipt, quality control, and optimized stock putaway.
Outbound Logistics: Optimizing order waves, picking, packing, and shipping.
Internal Processes: Inventory, cycle counting, and stock replenishment.
VAS and MFS: Management of value-added services and direct integration with automated equipment.

Successful implementation requires a partner who understands both the technology and the specifics of warehousing. We offer customized, not templated, solutions adapted to your unique business goals.

Up to 35% Increase in Productivity and Reduced Operational Costs

SAP EWM doesn't just accelerate order fulfillment; it also significantly lowers operational expenses by automating routine tasks and reducing labor costs. This directly contributes to increased profitability.

Achieve 99% Stock Accuracy and Efficient Working Capital Management

The system provides real-time inventory visibility, helping to prevent over-stocking and minimizing frozen capital. This directly boosts the efficiency of working capital management.

15% Reduction in Inventory Losses and Higher Profitability

Thanks to features like cycle counting and accurate inventory tracking, SAP EWM minimizes discrepancies and prevents financial losses associated with product write-downs and spoilage.

Flexibility for Future Investments and 30% Lower Capital Expenditure

SAP EWM's scalability means companies won't need to incur additional capital expenses for a new IT solution when the business grows or logistics processes change.

100% Data Transfer Accuracy for Transparent Financial Flows

SAP's unified ecosystem ensures seamless data transfer between logistics and finance. This makes reporting more accurate and transparent, which is critical for effective financial planning.

15% Revenue Growth Through Improved Customer Service

Faster deliveries and fewer errors directly increase customer satisfaction and encourage repeat sales, which is a key factor in revenue growth and long-term financial stability.

Inbound and outbound processes

Make your shipping and transportation more efficient with SAP EWM. Streamline the process end-to-end, from receipt through quality check to delivery, by taking advantage of intelligent storage optimization recommendations and optimal route calculations (the latter is achieved through SAP TM integration).

Inventory management

Ensure constant inventory transparency for efficient ongoing control with real-time inventory monitoring. Track each crucial aspect of your inventory management, including transfers, stock adjustments, scheduled inventory checks, and counting, to ensure process accuracy.

Warehouse task management

Enhance your warehouse management by executing smart control over warehouse procedures. By grouping customer orders into ‘waves’ by specific criteria, SAP EWM bundles individual tasks into smooth workflows and assigns them to the right workers based on their skills and current location. In this way, you can balance workloads more efficiently.

Labor management

Streamline labor management with smart performance monitoring and reporting tools. For each order, the system calculates an expected time for completion given such factors as travel distance, package weight, and the specific activity performed. By continuously comparing the estimated time with the actual result, the system provides accurate performance reports.

Order processing

Automate cross-docking procedures with SAP EWM’s intelligent detection when there’s an urgent outbound need for the goods received. Create tasks to move them to dispatch, bypassing storage, putaway, and picking steps.

Cross-docking and value-added services

Accelerate fulfillment by automatically directing goods to the appropriate site during outbound; SAP EWM provides instructions for workers to perform tasks like kitting, labeling, assembly, or special packaging quickly and efficiently.

Yard management

Coordinate truck movements, schedule dock appointments, and track goods in real-time. SAP EWM integrates yard logistics for seamless operations.

Integration and connectivity

Connect with ERP, SAP S/4HANA, and automation tools like RFID and conveyors. SAP EWM ensures a fully integrated, connected warehouse.
