Warehouse Logistics

The right solution for every warehouse

Warehouses differ from each other in their unique requirements:

  • Spare parts warehouses have a large diversity of heterogeneous parts and require timely fulfilment of time-critical orders
  • Retail warehouses require integrated planning of picking and trans­por­ta­tion and variable composition of packages
  • Production supply warehouses need high availability that is integrated with automated production systems
  • Distribution centres have a high turnover of goods and often require cross docking functionality

Westernacher Consulting is proud to have the right solution for every warehouse. We rely on three products to achieve maximum flexibility and an optimal fit to our customers’ needs:

  • EWM, the Extended Warehouse Management from SAP, which because of its breadth of business processes and functionality is suitable for any larger warehouse in almost any industry.
  • LES, the well known Logistic Execution System from SAP with is com­po­nents WM and TRM, which can be successfully used for warehouses with­out special requirements on processes and performance.
  • WLS™, Westernacher’s own warehouse management solution including integrated material flow control based on SAP Netweaver technology. WLS focuses on highly automated warehouses that require a large number of customer-specific processes.

Westernacher Consulting specializes in warehouse automation and covers automated transportation of handling units between locations, automated storage and retrieval of pallets, as well as automated sorting, labelling and staging of goods.
