Blue Harbors has been following the development of mobile EWM applications with interest. In addition to the mobile warehouse functions using RF for mobile devices that come standard with SAP EWM, we’re also seeing opportunities for some interesting solutions to be developed.
What to Expect When Moving From SAP Business Suite to SAP S/4 HANA
A question we at Blue Harbors frequently hear from clients considering the move to SAP S/4 HANA is,“what should I expect from the migration – how difficult/time-consuming/expensive is it?”
Key Customer Benefits of SAP S/4HANA
In February, SAP announced the launch of SAP S/4HANA, which allows enterprises to connect with the Internet of Things – connecting enterprise-level applications with a host of mobile devices being used in today’s manufacturing and transportation facilities. Users can now access any data from anywhere inside or outside their facility in real-time and make decisions on the […]
SAP Warehouse Optimization Solutions
There are currently over 100,600 SAP installations at over 41,200 companies in the world. SAP announced at the 2013 Logistics & SCM, PLM, Manufacturing, and Procurement conference in Las Vegas in March that there are currently only around 400 installations of SAP EWM. EWM was release in 2007, and it’s obvious that the majority of […]
SAP Logistics & SCM Conference Agenda
Next Monday afternoon, Josh and I will be heading out to Las Vegas to attend the SAP Logistics & SCM 2013 on behalf of Blue Harbors. I plan on taking notes on the sessions I attend throughout the conference, and sharing my thoughts on the highlights here on Blue Harbors’ blog. I’ve started to build […]
EWM-MFS and Non-SAP material flow systems
The control of highly dynamic automated components in the warehouse has been, so far, the domain of specialized material handling systems. With MFS (Material Flow System) as part of SAP EWM, this will change. The system promises a high degree of standardization, fewer interfaces and significant benefits in maintenance and support.
A Competitive Necessity – Implementing SAP’s Express Ship Interface Gives Your Business an Advantage
It has been more than 25 years since FedEx offered a PC-based automated shipping solution and since that time, impressive innovations in electronic commerce have occurred throughout the next‐day carrier delivery industry. The question is: has your company taken advantage of the latest technological advances to increase market share, reduce the cost of doing business, […]
Consumer Feedback on E-Tail Order Fulfillment Processes
Consumers’ growing preference for online shopping resulted in unprecedented increases in order fulfillment and returns shipments in 2012. The numbers will increase in 2013 as the e-commerce & m-commerce (mobile commerce) movement is only revving up. With this rise in online orders, fulfillment and reverse logistics processes have never been as important for retail companies than they are as we enter the new year.
Massive Inevitable Changes For E-Tailer Shipping
Thanks to Gray Thursday, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, online retail (“E-tail”) sales have hit record highs in the US this holiday season. FedEx is expecting to ship a record 19 Million packages today alone (12/10/12). UPS has predicted that they will ship over 527 million packages in the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, as compared to 480 million packages total in 2011. The increase in shipping volume is shocking, and it’s only going up.
So what’s the impact? Both carriers and E-tailers are beginning to realize that, if they intend on maintaining the same levels of customer satisfaction and quality control as shipping volumes increase, the current partnership dynamic will be changing in a big way.
SAP Warehouse Optimization Solutions Presentation
Throughout the development and deployment our solutions & service offerings, we’ve taken note of the common “warehouse process pain points” our customers have experienced, as well as the solution applied to mitigate the problems. We’ve packaged all of this up into a presentation that walks our audience through a generic warehouse process flow, presenting common “symptoms” they might be seeing in their own environments, and then the “solutions” that Blue Harbors has developed to help.
