LP PoweredEWM - the perfect solution for KraussMaffei
KraussMaffei reorganised its global spare parts business, relying on SAP EWM and the proven LP PoweredEWM solution from LogiPlus.
LP PoweredEWM offers comprehensive support and time savings in the implementation and realisation of warehouse and logistics processes through its cross-industry template approach. Compared to the SAP EWM standard, it contains many enhancements and improvements in terms of usability, visibility and additional functions resulting from LogiPlus’ 25 years of experience with SAP warehouse software.
With LP PoweredEWM, KraussMaffei did not start its EWM project from scratch; the system could be used immediately after installation. By making minor adjustments to the infrastructure and defining customer-specific business processes, the implementation time for SAP EWM was significantly reduced to just 3.5 months.

LP PoweredEWM from LogiPlus
SAP experience from over 20 years
With the LP PoweredEWM system LogiPlus uses a fully developed and extended SAP EWM system in the project. Our customer receives a fully defined warehouse, supplemented by field-proven enhancements from LogiPlus. These result from more than 20 years of experience with SAP-based warehouse management software.
Ready-defined workplace dialogues
Among other things, we deliver ready-defined workstation dialogues, stationary packing stations, picking stations on the conveyor system as well as ready-defined mobile processes. “Pick, pack and pass” scenarios are included as well as value-added services and cross-docking. An individually customisable LP Warehouse Control Center for controlling and monitoring the daily load is also part of our LogiPlus package.
Start together at 75%
In the implementation project, we directly use the latest version of LP PoweredEWM. The scope of services also includes MFS functionality with push channels for communication with a PLC. This significantly reduces the project complexity and runtime when implementing a SAP EWM system.
LP PoweredEWM is not a sample system or sandbox. Our Rapid Deployment Solution is delivered SAP-compliant and installed in your development system as a basis. With LP PoweredEWM you can start your implementation project at 75% instead of zero.
