WLS - Warehouse Logistics for SAP

Our warehouse logistics solution enables you to plan design and manage your warehouse using SAP. We focus on helping organizations that have made considerable investment in the SAP platform.

WLS™ is one of the most comprehensive Warehouse Management & Control Systems. It seamlessly integrates into your ERP landscape by connecting sales functions to PLC systems that are managing automated conveyors and complex order picking scenarios, even all on the same near-to-unbreakable SAP platform if you want.

Our clients leverage WLS™ as a company-wide, internationally deployable platform for their intra-logistics, covering all business processes such as product receivements, quality assurance, automatic warehousing, production supply, customer order preparation or shipment.

With latest technology expertise we can improve the entire spectrum of logistic processes with the following capabilities:

Tight Integration of all types of manual devices and automated components. Manual devices include handhelds, forklift terminals, mobile printers, pick-to-light workstations, and voice technology; automated elements include cranes, conveyors, sensors, label applicators, shrink wrappers, scales, shape checks, and stacking robots, all of which require a PLC-interface.

Seamless Networking supports various industry standards like SAP, BAAN, BIW, PeopleSoft, and J.D. Edwards as well as proprietary systems. In addition, different technologies, such as file transfer, RFC/IDoc, Web Services /SOAP, direct databases link, MQSeries /WebSphere MQ, and EDI can be used at the same time.

Capitalizing On Technology by implementing a new system does not necessarily mean that you have to introduce new technologies. In fact, we encourage you to continue using existing databases and platforms that have been already serviced by your IT department. However, introducing new technology such as RFID can improve your system significantly.

Scalability possesses the flexibility to continue supporting your expanding business. In addition, high availability concepts and high service levels also need to be available at a reasonable cost.

Taking into account the variable demands of the supply chain and logistics, WLS™ offers a full range of functions for Warehouse Logistics.
