SAP Warehouse Management & EWM

Stop Losing Profit in the Aisles

Fix Warehouse Inefficiency to Free Up Cash, Reduce Costs, and Improve Service

Inaccurate inventory, overstuffed aisles, and tribal picking rules aren’t operational quirks—they’re margin killers. SAP Warehouse Management (WM) and Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) can do more than organize storage. When used correctly, they help you protect working capital, plan labor efficiently, and deliver on customer commitments without guesswork or firefighting.

Why It Matters to Executives

Warehouse underperformance isn’t a warehouse problem—it’s a business problem.

If your warehouse still relies on spreadsheets, manual decisions, or end-runs around SAP, you’re leaking profit daily. Poor visibility, misaligned bin strategies, and inconsistent labor deployment don’t just waste time—they tie up cash in inventory, inflate operating costs, and erode customer trust. Most of this stems from underused SAP capabilities and misaligned master data—issues that Reveal helps correct without a single line of custom code.

Common Business Challenges

When execution breaks down, the balance sheet feels it.

• Inventory in the aisles, not in the bins: SAP says there’s space—until the forklift proves otherwise.
• Tribal knowledge drives decisions: Material gets put away based on who’s on shift—not system rules or demand.
• Labor is under planned or overstaffed: You have 50 people in the building—but no clarity on what they should be doing.
• System vs. reality gaps: What SAP shows doesn’t match what’s physically on hand—leading to errors, delays, and excess.
• Lost trust in the system: When exceptions become the norm, employees work around SAP instead of with it.

What Reveal Solve

The root cause isn’t your team—it’s how the system is set up and used.

Underperforming warehouses aren’t the result of bad tools or bad people. They’re the result of misaligned rules, broken trust in system data, and a failure to manage by exception. Reveal helps realign SAP WM and EWM around optimized master data—bin strategies, storage units, picking logic, shelf-life rules, and FIFO/LIFO priorities—so the system works as intended and your team works smarter.

Business Benefits Executives Can Expect

SAP already has what you need to run an efficient, high-performance warehouse. Let’s make it pay back.

• Free up working capital: Eliminate excess inventory caused by inaccurate stock, redundant orders, and stockouts.
• Improve EBITDA and reduce cost-to-serve: Align labor to real workload, eliminate manual steps, and streamline throughput.
• Boost service levels and delivery accuracy: Improve real-time inventory accuracy and eliminate “easter egg hunts.”
• Recover space and improve throughput: Optimize bin use and storage logic to reduce congestion and reclaim capacity.
• Build execution resilience: Enable faster fulfillment and exception response, even during demand swings or disruption.

Client Success Snapshot

A major petroleum company struggled with overcapacity and aisle congestion in multiple sites. Material handlers ignored SAP because location suggestions didn’t reflect physical constraints. Reveal helped reconfigure master data, retrain users, and implement a system-led putaway process. The result: 18% increase in labor productivity, 15% more space utilization, and a full shift of overtime eliminated each week.

Reveal’s Approach: How It Works

oVo®: People. Process. SAP. In that order. Reveal’s VALUE optimization® (oVo®) methodology ensures sustainable change through four stages:

1. Discover where profit is leaking using your SAP data.
2. Educate teams to trust and use SAP as the strategic system of record.
3. Adopt optimized behaviors and system-driven processes across the warehouse.
4. Sustain results with KPIs, exception-based management, and performance coaching.

We focus on empowering your people, optimizing your process, and unlocking the SAP functionality you already own—no reimplementation needed.

Why SAP—and Why Reveal

SAP WM and EWM are powerful—but only when used correctly.

S/4HANA brings even more functionality to Extended Warehouse Management, from labor planning to real-time visibility. But most organizations still treat SAP as a transaction tool, not a decision engine. Reveal bridges that gap—activating the potential already embedded in your system, aligning execution with strategy, and ensuring your warehouse performs like a competitive advantage.
