From container to truck.
Ten apps, one device, one process.
For a logistics center handling temperature-controlled goods, custom SAP EWM apps cover the entire flow of goods: receive containers and open them once customs-cleared, inspect and recondition pallets, put away, plan shipments and load – right on the handheld scanner, without SAP GUI and without paper.
Process
Each app covers exactly one work step and hands off cleanly to the next. When things run normally, the flow stays short – checks and exception paths only appear when something actually deviates.
The apps
Scan the container or door – only what is customs-cleared and in temporary storage gets opened. Capture seal and tally, post goods receipt.
Empty and damage reports in two screens. If something deviates, the app guides through conformity and quantity checks all the way to the discrepancy report for customs.
Repack entire containers as planned. The app shows which pallets are still missing and creates the putaway exactly when the new pallet is scanned.
Temperature and condition of every pallet in just a few taps. A rule decides where it goes next: warehouse, quality inspection, reconditioning or straight off the conveyor.
Rejected pallets are reconditioned instead of written off. Services performed – labeling, pallet exchange, repacking – are fully recorded in the system.
One app for planned and unplanned movements: pick up to two pallets, confirm to the planned bin or choose a permitted alternative destination.
All pickups per transportation unit with status lights. Start picking for several orders at once and assign doors – on desktop, tablet or phone.
Record value-added services before loading. Staging is confirmed automatically on scan, then the pallet heads to the loading ramp.
If goods are no longer fit to ship, the app replaces cartons from a matching donor pallet – or reduces the delivery if there is none.
Loading progress per delivery, driver and warehouse operator sign on the device, seal documented – and goods issue is posted.
Insights
Built for the floor
Every process starts with a scan. Short codes and door scans are resolved, and focus always jumps back to the scan field.
Instead of technical codes, the app says what to do – such as which app can help or whom the operator should notify.
Protection against double taps with gloves, counters instead of keyboards, confirmation prompts only where a posting cannot be reversed.
Processes already started can be resumed at the same container or pallet – even by a colleague.
Blocked pallets, wrong workstations and non-permitted destinations are rejected at the scan – not only at posting.
If SAP does not confirm a posting, the app shows a warning rather than a false success. Posting chains show how far they got.
Reconditioning, repacking and value-added services are logged per pallet – the basis for billing.
Architecture
Handling units, warehouse tasks, outbound deliveries and quality notifications run through released SAP interfaces. Custom services only where the standard offers nothing.
Inspection points, alternative destinations and process types live in SAP – changes without a new app release.
Thanks to the service layer, the business team works early on with realistic test data. Switching to the real system is a matter of configuration.
