Starting situation
With increasing internationalization and a growing number of warehouse locations, the demands on logistics and goods flow processes also increased. Different systems, individual processes, and numerous interfaces complicated operational business and led to high complexity in everyday life.
The goal was to create a unified foundation for modern warehouse logistics: with standardized processes, better transparency, and a platform that can be rolled out worldwide.
Challenges
Unifying grown system landscapes
Different warehousing and logistics systems had to be merged into a common structure.
Reduce high process complexity
Many interfaces and individual processes complicated operational business.
Design efficient global rollouts
Introducing a solution that can be rolled out quickly and in parallel worldwide.
Ensure integration of existing systems
Integration of retail, transport, and material flow systems with the new platform.
Secure ongoing logistics processes
Introduction of the new solution without interrupting warehouse operations.
Creating scalability for future growth
The platform had to be flexibly expandable to accommodate further locations and requirements.
Solution
What our expert says
Steffen Tauber
Head of Research
„Testing a parallel SAP EWM for multiple locations and countries sounds routine – but it isn't. Each warehouse has its own logic: different processes, different upstream and downstream systems, outdated documentation. Despite a fixed timeline, we successfully brought all locations to the finish line – because we know how to structure complexity without offloading it onto the customer.“
