SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM)

Challenges of Supply Chain

The age of the digital supply chain is upon us and warehouses are a critical part of it. To stay competitive with a healthy bottom line, you need to continue your transformation to an integrated smart warehouse. Smart warehouses use technology to efficiently deploy resources and move shipments with greater visibility. They can accommodate high volume data exchanges for compliance.

Your warehouse is more than inventory. It requires every resource plus intelligence to satisfy growing consumer demand for fast fulfillment. Warehousing operations can no longer succeed as a functional silo focusing solely on internal procedures. You need an integrated, comprehensive logistics solution so you can smoothly run your logistics processes, accelerate order fulfillment cycles, respond quickly to changes, and get a holistic view of orders and costs across the logistics chain. Organizations adopting warehouse management systems experience benefits such as lower customer order cycle time and more orders shipped on time.
