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.
Analytics and reporting
Track KPIs and operational data with SAP EWM’s analytics tools. Identify opportunities for improvement and continuously optimize performance.
