    Flexport changed the way we looked at importing. Prior to Flexport, importing was a bit of a black box, with low transparency which meant adding a buffer to shipment times to account for unforeseen delays. Historically we had inboxes full of documents with no roll-up view. Now we have a roll-up view, and visibility to underlying documents should we ever need them.

    EWM works very well with S4/HANA; we wanted a simpler integration landscape, so our goal was to use as many SAP features as possible, as long as they generated business value. Due to limitations in the outbound process, we use third-party TM support.

    • After the lastes upgrade it compromised all the columns in monitor
    • Some GUI transactions are not available in Fiori apps. That would be helpful to have more in Fiori.
    • Loading time, performance is not the best when picking, searching, and doing daily tasks.
    • Error messages in SMQ2 descriptions are hard to understand. Should tell more info

    SAP extended warehouse management is an excellent system and well-suited to the SAP ecosystem, although we evaluated other warehouse management products and found EWM well-suited to our organization's requirements and SAP’s roadmap, meeting our future expectations regarding maintenance, upgrades, life cycle management, and migration to the cloud. The implementation was not very complex; however, the testing cycle was crucial for our systems, as we managed our warehouses internally and thus made critical decisions.

    Support teams are fantastic. I've been lucky enough to meet teams from NY, LA and HK offices. They have prioritized building a culture of talented and energetic people who push projects and tasks forward. They don't sit back and wait for things to happen they're constantly pushing things forward to be on time with all information organized and ready.

    We are using Max attention, which is a perfect (but costly) extension for prod support.

    Historically we worked with and agent who and did not have a software platform like Flexport. We made the decision to test volume, and they quickly earned the rest of our business. The on boarding process was easy, pricing was competitive and the product delivered in every way we were promised.

    Typically, we recommend eWM to clients for following reasons: 1. Clients are mostly using SAP as their core ERP and eWM becomes a natural choice coming embedded with SAP Extended Warehouse Management 2. SAP Extended Warehouse Management is feature heavy and fulfills the needs for any larger operation for which BY and Manhatten might not be suitable 3. Multiple consulting vendors or partners for support and maintenance
