The speed and adapt­abil­i­ty nec­es­sary to dri­ve today’s ware­hous­ing and sup­ply chain oper­a­tions have been unre­lent­ing. Ever-evolv­ing tech­nol­o­gy, com­plex­i­ties brought on by e‑commerce, the omnichan­nel par­a­digm, con­sumer expec­ta­tions, changes in the glob­al mar­ket­place, and the ongo­ing pres­sure to do more with less means that effi­cien­cy, flex­i­bil­i­ty, scal­a­bil­i­ty, and trans­paren­cy have become the name of the game. 

SAP Extend­ed Ware­house Man­age­ment (EWM) ris­es to the chal­lenge with high­ly inte­grat­ed func­tions for more effi­cient busi­ness process­es and the flex­i­bil­i­ty of mul­ti­ple deploy­ment options to meet busi­ness needs large and small. But with more fea­tures comes more com­plex­i­ty — and for many SAP cus­tomers — imple­ment­ing EWM can prove to be a daunt­ing endeav­or. In some cas­es, these chal­lenges can act as a road­block to migrat­ing to SAP S/4HANA. So how can you plan and exe­cute an EWM imple­men­ta­tion to ensure suc­cess? The cor­ner­stone to a suc­cess­ful EWM imple­men­ta­tion starts with these 10 tips.
