Mobile Picking with SAP
With mobile picking in the SAP system, companies can digitize their warehouse processes and increase efficiency. We provide practical support from the initial analysis through to ongoing operations.
Your Entry into Digital Warehouse Logistics
Many companies still use paper lists, handwritten notes, and manual data entry at the PC in their warehouses. This costs time, leads to errors, and makes it difficult to keep track of everything. Mobile picking with SAP addresses exactly these issues. Your employees receive picking orders directly on a mobile device, such as hand scanners, Zebra devices, or barcode solutions, can immediately post picked items into the SAP system, and always have an up-to-date overview of stock levels.
We help you make this transition easy and secure, even if you have no previous experience with digital solutions.
What is mobile picking with SAP?
Mobile picking with SAP refers to the digital support and control of picking processes in the warehouse using mobile devices, such as handheld scanners, mobile data terminals (MDE), or Zebra scanners, which can be supplemented by additional modules like the ProGlove back-of-hand scanner. These devices are directly connected to the SAP system. Employees receive picking orders in real time on their mobile devices, process them digitally, and post goods movements directly in the SAP system.
In the SAP context, various solutions can be used for this purpose, such as SAP EWM (Extended Warehouse Management), SAP WM (Warehouse Management), or SAP MM (Materials Management) with mobile extensions. Modern interfaces like SAP Fiori ensure intuitive operation and high user-friendliness.
For your company, this means fewer errors and less effort, while providing greater transparency in day-to-day warehouse operations.
