Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between LeverX’s warehouse assessment and a typical consulting audit?

While traditional audits often focus on surface-level compliance or isolated issues, our warehouse assessment is designed to provide a strategic view across operations, systems, and technology readiness. It bridges business needs with SAP system capabilities, preparing you for tangible transformation — not just reporting inefficiencies.

Is this assessment suitable for non-SAP environments or hybrid system landscapes?

Yes. We often work with companies that are running legacy systems, hybrid setups, or are still planning their SAP journey. Our approach accounts for your current system landscape and outlines how SAP EWM or other relevant technologies could integrate or replace existing tools.

Do we need to prepare anything before the assessment starts?

To get the most value, we recommend gathering basic warehouse documentation (layouts, system flows, pain points) and aligning internal stakeholders who can provide insights during workshops. We’ll also share a short questionnaire to streamline the process.

Will this assessment disrupt ongoing operations?

Not at all. Our team works alongside your existing schedule, often conducting sessions in short, structured time blocks. Onsite reviews are observational, and all recommendations are delivered with minimal disruption in mind.
