Warehouse Management in SAP WM/ STRM with X-RF
The warehouse management system SAP WM (Warehouse Management) / SAP STRM (Stockroom Management) enables precise management of stocks at storage bin level and efficient control of storage areas directly on the production line and in the warehouse. Our mobile data collection solutions for SAP WM/STRM optimise your logistics processes. Whether goods receipt, stock transfer, picking or stocktaking - the mobile applications enable fast, simple and error-free bookings directly at the storage location. This means that all stocks and movements are always up-to-date and transparently mapped in the system.
Next-Level Warehouse Logistics with SAP EWM
SAP EWM digitally maps the entire internal material flow: from goods receipt, storage and picking to dispatch. Dynamic storage location management, multi-level picking, replenishment control and the integration of automated warehouse technology can be mapped directly in the standard system. Mobile data collection is a key success factor, especially with EWM. Only if all movements are recorded directly at the source is the system inventory correct and the material flow controllable. With SAP EWM and our X-RF mobile data collection, you can achieve maximum process reliability and flexibility - especially in highly dynamic warehouse environments.
Maintenance
Ensure availability, minimise downtimes Create PM messages directly and set status, create, manage and confirm PM orders, equipment management with simple installation and removal function, call up and implement work and test instructions directly, planned and unplanned withdrawal of materials to cost centre, orders or reservation.
Dispatch
Efficient control right up to the last mile: Picking, packing and dispatch control without loss of time, loading with complete VDA/GTL label integration, seamless dispatch provision and transport handling, optimised load securing for maximum process stability, photo documentation and checklists for later complaints.

6 Steps to an Optimised Logistics Workflow
How it works?
01. Requirements Analysis & Process Recording
As part of a detailed process analysis, we analyse your existing processes and align them with the available standard processes. The presentation with our SAP demo system provides all those involved with a clear picture of the possible solution. Depending on the scope, we deepen the analysis in a workshop with our experts. This gives us the ideal starting point for seamless and efficient integration into SAP.
02. Selection of Proven Standard Modules
Based on the identified requirements, we select the appropriate Fiori Apps from our module portfolio. These cover all mobile production logistics processes in the SAP environment. From goods receipt, warehouse and production to goods issue, quality assurance and maintenance. The use of tried and tested standard modules eliminates the need for costly customised developments. This ensures rapid implementation and reduces complexity and project costs.
03 Configuration of the Optimal Workflow
In the next project phase, we combine the selected modules to create a harmonised and consistent workflow. The focus here is on simple and intuitive operability for the worker. Only if the solution integrates seamlessly into the existing processes will there be real added value.
04 Integration into your SAP Environment
Our mobile Fiori Apps run directly in your SAP system, without middleware or additional interfaces. The standard apps are transported, installed and adapted to the existing SAP customising. Specific requirements can be easily implemented: transparent, low-maintenance and releasable.
05. Testing Phase & Optimisation
Before the system goes live, the complete workflow is comprehensively tested in the SAP test system (Q system). During this phase, the key users who will later act as multipliers in the rollout process are also trained. User-specific optimisations are integrated to ensure maximum process reliability and high user acceptance. Only then does the go-live follow.
06 Rollout & Continuous Further Development
The project is completed with a successful rollout. Now we support you in securing your investment in the long term. We will continue to develop the Fiori apps and keep them up to date with the latest technological standards. Furthermore, we are available with our expertise to further optimise your processes in production and logistics.

Mobile data collection FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Discover how you can improve inventory control and optimise material flow by integrating SAP into your logistics processes.
How does mobile data capture with SAP support logistics processes?
Mobile data collection with SAP ensures that material movements in production and logistics are recorded in real time and integrated directly into the SAP system. This enables transparent tracking of all stock levels and production steps. Employees can use mobile devices such as scanners or tablets to capture data and use it directly in SAP for further processing. This reduces errors, optimises workflows and increases efficiency throughout the entire supply chain.
What advantages does mobile data capture offer for warehouse management with SAP?
Mobile data capture improves warehouse management with SAP by recording material flows and stocks digitally and in real time. This means that stock movements can be transferred directly to SAP, providing a complete inventory overview. Mobile barcode scanners or RFID readers allow items to be allocated more quickly and without errors. This minimises errors when goods are received and significantly reduces search times in the warehouse.
How does the traceability of WIP (work-in-process) material work in SAP?
Mobile data capture enables precise tracking of WIP (work-in-process) material in the SAP system. Each material is given a unique ID so that the current status, processing station and remaining steps can be tracked directly in SAP. This ensures greater transparency and optimised production planning, as delays and bottlenecks can be identified and rectified more quickly.
Which devices are supported for mobile data capture in SAP?
Mobile data capture in SAP is compatible with a wide range of devices, including handheld scanners, RFID readers, tablets and mobile computers. Direct integration into SAP enables data to be processed in real time. This allows employees in the warehouse or in production to react quickly to changes and adapt work processes without manual intermediate steps.
How does mobile data collection improve efficiency in production and logistics?
The integration of mobile data capture in SAP reduces errors and increases the speed of work processes. Employees receive all relevant information directly on their device, allowing material requirements, stockpiling and production processes to be handled more quickly. Digital tracking ensures optimised production planning and higher resource utilisation.
