Deploying SAP EWM or WM in Your Conventional or Automated Warehouse?
As the market-leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, SAP has become the go-to choice for companies seeking to streamline their operational processes to gain a competitive edge.
SAP’s ERP software can unite otherwise disparate data sources for timelier decision-making across procurement, manufacturing, warehousing, fulfillment, service, sales, finance, quality management and human resources groups.
When it comes to the portion of the SAP suite specifically engineered for the warehouse and fulfillment realm, SAP’s software has two offerings:
-
SAP Supply Chain Execution (SCE) Extended Warehouse Management (EWM)
- SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Warehouse Management (WM).
Broadly speaking, organizations might choose to implement WM if they want a more internal focus or have more basic handling processes (paper). Likewise, they may have simpler operations, are housed in small-to-medium-size facilities, or simply do not view distribution as a strategic differentiator. Companies with various automated material handling technologies in play may elect to leverage WM via an experienced software integrator/implementation expert.
