Why Implement a Mobile EWM Solution?

Why you might need EWM?

Many organisations are migrating from their older SAP ECC6 solution to S/4HANA, the digital core for the future. S/4HANA comes packaged with EWM rather than the older SAP WM. SAP has made very few enhancements to WM over the past several years and have targeted all new investment on EWM. Critically, SAP will not be supporting the WM solution after 2025.

Why mobile choice is important?

EWM is a feature rich solution that can help organisations meet the challenge of increasing customer service requirements. But the mobile solution you choose is key to leveraging all that great backend EWM functionality. If mobile screens are complex and performance slow then productivity will take a hit and the significant investment in EWM will fall short of expectations.

Roll-outs often got bogged down as inflexible, hard coded solutions could not reflect localisations. Solutions were expensive to maintain as coders had to be bought in to do the smallest update.
