Complete support for SAP® EWM systems
Whether your system uses KNAPP technology or automation solutions from a different provider, we consider your processes as a whole, as an integral part of the entire value chain – from SAP® software to the physical movements of your goods. Our services are much more than just implementation and our support is more than just standard support. As a specialized SAP partner for complex, highly automated warehouse processes, we offer our support the way you need it – around the clock, remotely or directly on site. This includes:
- 24/7 support for all SAP® EWM systems
- Simplification of systems with the targeted use of SAP® EWM standards
- Key users to provide support during operation, introducing new processes or hypercare
- Migration to SAP® EWM for S/4HANA
- Process optimization and on-demand support for inventory, hardware configuration and system maintenance
With these services, we ensure the operation of your SAP® EWM solution remains stable by providing support where others don’t – even for existing solutions from other SAP partners.
The perfect match for every warehouse automation system and SAP® landscape
We focus on things that are challenging: warehouse processes with a medium to high level of complexity and a high degree of automation. As a result, we are specialized in integrating SAP® solutions in multilayered intralogistics environments. We support companies who have automation systems from different providers as well as SAP® solutions from other SAP® partners. In the course of over 100 WMS and WCS retrofit projects with SAP® by KNAPP, we’ve built up the necessary expertise for working with typical warehouse automation systems from different integrators. Whether conveyors, shuttle systems or robotics, we integrate different technologies seamlessly into SAP® EWM with MFS and create end-to-end solutions that flexibly adapt to existing infrastructure.
Furthermore, complex warehouses require continuous support for stable performance and maximum availability. That’s why we provide comprehensive support, including for existing SAP® solutions from other implementation partners. Whether you’re looking to optimize or extend your systems, integrate systems during a retrofit, or migrate to an all-encompassing SAP® system landscape, SAP® by KNAPP is the optimal end-to-end solution for your business.
FAQs – Key questions and answers
KNAPP Building Blocks are ready-to-use software and configuration code blocks based on SAP®. They fulfill industry- and material flow-specific requirements and make it possible to integrate KNAPP technologies into SAP® EWM. The advantage of KNAPP Building Blocks is faster project timelines and risk minimization since the blocks are tried and tested. They can be maintained by KNAPP or by the customer.
We connect cutting-edge automation with the power of SAP®. Depending on your requirements, we opt for one of two proven technological integration strategies:
- SAP® EWM MFS with KNAPP Building Blocks for automation solutions embedded deep in the material flow, such as an Evo Shuttle system
- SAP BTP for autonomous systems such as AeroBot
Which solution we use is based on the customer’s strategy. Autonomy, for example, points to SAP® EWM, while a clean-core approach dovetails nicely with integration using SAP BTP. The result is integration that matches the customer’s individual processes and goals.
SAP® by KNAPP supports both KNAPP systems as well as automation solutions from other providers. Our services are also available to all customers, even if the SAP® solution was originally done with a different SAP® integration partner.
KNAPP will accompany you throughout your entire SAP® project, even beyond the go-live and hypercare. We are a one-stop provider of everything from strategic consultation, process design with solution concepts and fit-gap analyses to implementation, customization, operation, support and continuous optimization during live operation. Our offer also includes our 24/7 SAP® EWM Service Desk, which is there to ensure high availability of complex warehouses at all times.
