Papyrus runs SAP EWM with LP PoweredEWM

SAP EWM Go-Live from Papyrus in Belgium and the Netherlands

SAP EWM Go-Live at Papyrus with LP PoweredEWM

Papyrus Germany is part of the Inapa Group, one of the largest European wholesale groups in the paper sector with headquarters in Lisbon, Portugal. In order to have a standardized procedure and platform for the other internationally distributed warehouses in the future, the decision was made to switch to SAP EWM and LP PoweredEWM in the long term.

Initial situation and strategic considerations

As part of the SAP roll-out in the two national companies in Belgium (Brussels) and the Netherlands (Nijmegen), warehouse management software also had to be introduced there.

After Papyrus had already successfully introduced and operated SAP EWM based on LP PoweredEWM in warehouses in France, the decision was made to rely on LP PoweredEWM in these two warehouses as well, based on the very positive experience. LP PoweredEWM as a fully developed SAP EWM system covered all the necessary requirements. The total project time amounted to approx. 13 months.

Challenges in the project

The biggest challenge was the increasing warehouse size and the growing process complexity in logistics.

Papyrus decided to implement SAP EWM on the basis of the Rapid Deployment Solution LP PoweredEWM in order to meet these challenges. In addition LP MobileGRAFIX and LP WarehouseCockpit were used to ensure comprehensive and efficient warehouse management.

The main benefit for Papyrus was the significant cost and time savings achieved by the Rapid Deployment Solution. This solution also accelerated additional and further developments and was supported by comprehensive project coaching, which led to the successful implementation and optimisation of the warehouse processes.

Advantages of implementing LP PoweredEWM

Duration

With LP PoweredEWM, you can have a fully functional warehouse management system in 3-6 months.
Save up to 50% of the project duration with our Rapid Deployment Solution.

Costs

Predefined processes and extensions significantly shorten the implementation phase. Thanks to these time savings, a considerable reduction in costs is possible.

Learning curves

LP PoweredEWM can be used from day one. The changeover to the new system therefore takes place during the project phase and eliminates the need for subsequent training.

Highlights of the project

Transparency and clarity on one platform

A special feature of the project at Papyrus was the mapping of the value-added services that take place in the two warehouses. The warehouse employees
carry out system-guided work steps and report the formed pallets back to the system. In the background, the kit-to-order and kit-to-stock orders are acknowledged in parallel and the corresponding bookings are made. The ergonomic interfaces were designed with LP MobileGRAFIX.

With the help of a template, SAP EWM was successfully implemented in two other warehouses, which differ both structurally and in terms of work processes. Both locations each have more than 20,000 pallet spaces.

Between 120 and 160 tons of paper are stored and retrieved daily in both warehouses, with well over 200 tons at peak times. Accordingly, between 400 and 700 deliveries are made every day, ranging in size from very small quantities to entire truckloads.

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 tried-and-tested extensions from LogiPlus. These result from more than 20 years of experience with SAP-based warehouse management software.

Pre-defined workstation dialogs

Among other things, we deliver pre-defined workstation dialogs, stationary packing stations, picking stations on the conveyor system and pre-defined mobile processes. “Pick, pack and pass” scenarios are also included, as are value-added services and cross-docking. An individually customizable LP warehouse control station for controlling and monitoring the daily load is also part of our LogiPlus package.

Start together at 75%

The implementation project is based directly on 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 an SAP EWM system.

LP PoweredEWM is not a sample system or a sandbox. Our Rapid Deployment Solution is delivered SAP-compliant and installed in your development system as a basis. With LP PoweredEWM, you too can start your implementation project at 75% instead of from scratch.
