Streamlining Order Processing & Optimizing Picking with Pre-Packaged WM Apps

Fast, accurate order fulfillment is the cornerstone of efficient warehouse operations. However, many SAP WM users face:
❌ Slow picking & packing processes
❌ High order error rates
❌ Inefficient picking paths, increasing labor costs

💡 Did you know?
📌 60% of total warehouse labor time is spent on picking orders.
📌 Companies that optimize picking workflows can reduce errors by 30% and improve fulfillment speeds by 50%.

SAP EWM offers advanced picking automation, but pre-packaged order processing apps for SAP WM provide similar benefits without a full migration.
