Project overview
An automotive aftermarket warehouse handled thousands of small and medium parts, but several operations still depended on desktop terminals and printed documents. That slowed execution and made training harder than it needed to be.
Challenges
- Operators switched between devices and paper too often
- Picking confirmations were delayed
- Returns and putaway created duplicate handling effort
SAP EWM solution design
Qventra proposed a mobile-first SAP EWM model using RF for receiving, putaway, replenishment, picking, and returns. The design focused on intuitive execution and fewer handoffs between digital and paper-based work.
Key outcomes
Warehouses that move from paper-heavy execution to mobile confirmation commonly see 15% to 25% faster transactions, materially fewer entry errors, and noticeably shorter onboarding time. SAP’s mobile-partner ecosystem reflects the same value pattern.
Next steps
A strong follow-up would be image-assisted confirmation for complex spare-parts bins.
