Integrating SAP EWM

Recommendations for SAP EWM Implementation

Implementing warehouse management software—like SAP EWM (Extended Warehouse Management)—requires careful project planning, resource allocation, execution, and monitoring. Choose an experienced integration partner like TGW Logistics so you can leverage our proven methodologies to guide you through your successful SAP EWM integration.

1. Analysis & Goal Setting

Start your integration journey by thoroughly analyzing your existing warehouse and logistics processes to determine if SAP EWM is the right solution for you. Identify appropriate specialists who understand your company’s processes and warehouse operations. Establish clear goals for the implementation, such as improving warehouse efficiency, reducing warehouse costs, or increasing inventory accuracy.

2. Selecting an SAP Implementation Partner

Select an experienced SAP implementation partner like TGW Logistics with comprehensive knowledge of SAP EWM and understands your specific requirements, especially those related to other warehouse operational goals.

3. Project Planning & Management

Develop a detailed project plan with milestones, responsibilities, and an implementation timeline. Assemble and mobilize an effective project management team to ensure that the project remains on time and on budget.

4. Training for SAP EWM Integration

Provide your employees with the necessary training and documentation to use SAP EWM effectively. Training should include all relevant user groups: warehouse workers, logistics managers, maintenance, and IT staff.

5. Requirement Definition & Configuration

Work closely with your implementation partner to identify specific needs and requirements and customize SAP EWM accordingly. By knowing your value-added processes and the approach to use the SAP EWM standard, you can save a lot of time and reduce the project risk in terms of “time, budget, quality”.

6. Data Migration

Plan your data migration carefully and have these under control. Oversee your master data to transfer all relevant data needed from the former system to SAP EWM.

7. Implementation & Monitoring

Gradually place SAP EWM into live operation to allow your team to monitor performance and progress toward goals. Regular checks throughout the process guarantee that the warehouse management system runs optimally and that teams make adjustments only when necessary.

8. SAP EWM Testing

Develop extensive testing routines to ensure that SAP EWM runs smoothly and meets your company’s needs and expectations. The test phase for each process step allows you to identify and solve any problems that may arise before the warehouse management system goes live.

9. Continuous Improvement

Use SAP EWM's analysis and reporting functions to gain insight into your warehouse and logistics processes and suggest continuous improvements to your team.

10. Support & Maintenance

Organize and establish a reliable support team to solve problems quickly and execute updates promptly. Let’s discuss your needs, and we set up your individual service-level agreement.

Warehouse management software like SAP EWM must be updated to meet your ever-changing needs and business requirements as your company evolves. Leverage the experience of an implementation partner like TGW Logistics so you can optimize your warehouse and logistics processes and improve your competitive advantage.
