With the ever-increasing size of warehouses, the ever-increasing demands for short and reliable delivery times, and the ever-increasing demands for efficient and effective warehouse management, the importance of good warehouse management has increased dramatically in recent years.
For automating the processes, SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is a solution.
The system integrates high-volume warehouse operations with complex supply chain logistics and warehouse and distribution processes, giving you a high degree of visibility and control.
