Today's companies demand greater efficiency in their supply chains and place high demands on warehouse logistics. The costs of providing the service should be minimized while the added value of the service provided is maximized without compromising the quality of the logistics service.
As a result, the demand for intelligent solutions for complex and demanding logistics systems is constantly growing. Our product portfolio includes solutions for new implementations of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) and solutions for migrating existing warehouse management systems (SAP WM) to the new EWM context. Or rollout as an integrated EWM solution in the SAP S/4 environment HANA (Embedded EWM) or as a standalone instance.
Various EWM modules can be used to support your processes. Find out which EWM modules we use and how we can help you increase productivity using them.
The SAP EWM solution is multi-mandate capable. For example, different ERP systems can be integrated into an EWM solution. In contrast to SAP WM, Extended Warehouse Management has better process control. This enables flexible modeling of warehouse processes. The goods receipt process is only sporadically mapped in SAP WM. With SAP EWM, the goods receipt process can be divided into several process steps, which optimizes the flow of goods in the warehouse. A material flow calculator is also integrated into the EWM. This enables a direct and native connection of the EWM system to the PLC (programmable logic controller). An EWM system can, for example, manage and monitor different warehouses fully automatically and without additional software. In addition, the EWM is scalable as required - some functions can only be activated on request. This limits the implementation effort for medium-sized warehouses. In contrast to SAP WM, the warehouse cockpit comes with EWM. With this powerful tool, warehouse managers can closely monitor and further optimize processes within the warehouse.

Embedded EWM in the course of the S/4HANA introduction
As part of the S/4HANA implementation, an SAP EWM system was introduced at a manufacturer of building materials with chemical production. The customer maintains four warehouses spread across Germany with different functions and sizes. Three of these warehouses were mapped in the SAP system and set up in a process-related manner by ososoft GmbH.
