Innovapptive’s warehouse mobile solutions work with SAP’s inventory management system to improve productivity, increase efficiency, streamline workflows and cut costs. Innovapptive solutions enable warehouse personnel to work hands free to perform transactions, making their jobs easier and safer.
Customers expect accurate, on-time, and flawless fulfillment of their orders, every time. Warehouses need to be extremely efficient while resolving challenges, including:
- Shipment errors and delays
- Inventory accuracy
- Turnaround time
- Warehouse workforce productivity
- On-time shipments
SAP offers a great stable of warehouse solutions that can be deployed depending on the level of operational complexity. Inventory Management (IM) can provide sufficient functionality for small warehouses with low throughput. Warehouse Management (WM) offers broader and richer functionality for larger and more complex operations. Stock Room Management and Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) provide robust options for those companies deploying S/4HANA.
Whatever SAP warehouse solution is selected, the next important decision is how to provide users with easy access to backend functionality. It’s important to avoid embedding paper-based warehouse processes and expecting users to enter SAP transactions onto a desktop in the office.

Eliminating The Operational Disconnect With Mobility
It's surprising how many warehouses remain bogged down with inefficient manual processes, leading to a disconnect between physical movements and updates to SAP and inaccurate inventory.
To enable warehouse workers with such exceptional capabilities, it’s a top priority for warehouse operators to increase operational efficiency, productivity, and safety through utilizing advanced technology, i.e. wearables. Wearable technology allows users to work smarter and faster by receiving real-time updates and instructions and it fills a critical need in warehouse and logistics industries to improve operational efficiencies.
Simply stated, wearables empower warehouse workers with greater access to information and flexibility enabling them to:
- Accomplish tasks with greater efficiency warehouse
- Achieve higher levels of accuracy in executing tasks in the warehouse
- To aid in warehouse automation activities
- Greater flexibility and mobility in completing tasks
- Complete tasks in lesser time than traditional methods
Wearable technology can make all the difference for warehouse and logistics companies needing to stay ahead of the competition. Organizations must select and align with a mobility partner that integrates with wearables. Companies carefully need to ensure that the solution chosen offers all the necessary features and capabilities to integrate with their wearable devices smoothly.
SAP Mobile Inventory Management Powered by Mobility With mInventory
With mInventory integrated to wearables, workers can perform transactions, such as scan purchase orders, attach a reference document, select a line item, confirm orders, and more. They can even take photos, scan barcodes, record videos and upload them in real-time through voice command. Warehouse operators are experiencing increased worker productivity, improved communications, and also maximized operation speed such as picking, packing, dispatching, and replenishment.
mInventory, in conjunction with wearables, enables your warehouse workers to perform transactions, hands-free and quickly while providing the ability to listen and respond to voice-based directions so that workers can efficiently process tasks and successfully decrease turnaround time. This adds great value and helps address challenges faced by warehouse workers while making their job easier.
