Starting point
DAW SE made the strategic decision to successively introduce SAP S/4HANA as the ERP system at all of the company’s locations. As part of a global rollout plan, it was determined which locations were to be transformed and when.
In the process, a decision also had to be made regarding the warehouse management software. In order to have a holistically integrated system, the choice ultimately fell on SAP EWM S/4HANA Embedded. As implementation partner we supported DAW in the decision-making process. The first location in this SAP EWM rollout series was Sweden. The warehouse there is around 3,600 square metres in size and comprises almost 4,300 systemic storage locations.
About the project
After the successful cooperation within the SAP EWM project at the headquarters in Ober-Ramstadt, DAW decided to also plan and implement the implementation in Sweden with LogiPlus.
