Accurate, real-time stock visibility is critical for warehouse efficiency. Yet, standard SAP Inventory Management (IM) and Warehouse Management (WM) often create bottlenecks, costly errors, and delays – leading to operational inefficiencies and rising costs.

The Challenges of Standard SAP
Manual SAP Updates Without Barcode Scanners
Without barcode scanners, operators rely on manual SAP terminal updates – a slow, error-prone process that requires extensive training. Updates are often delayed, recorded on paper, or even forgotten, resulting in:
Â
Supply discrepancies that disrupt warehouse operations
Production bottlenecks caused by inaccurate stock levels
Financial inaccuracies due to unrecorded or mismanaged inventory
Â
Even with Barcode Scanners, SAP Remains Inefficient
Intelligent barcode scanners improve updates, but SAP’s outdated interface still slows productivity. Operators require significant training, and in an attempt to work faster, they may bypass SAP transactions entirely leading to:
Â
Incorrect stock records, making it difficult to track inventory
Unnecessary reorders, driving up costs
Expired materials sitting unused, increasing waste
