viastore launches SAP supply chain execution implementation practice

viastore, a leading material handling automation systems and software company, has announced an SAP implementation practice in North America.

The company has had a similar practice in Europe since 1996 and is now expanding it to North America. With this new North American practice, viastore will deliver SAP-based supply chain execution and warehouse management solutions. The new initiative will be led by Harouna Mohamadou, who recently joined viastore’s North American operations in the newly-created position of Director SAP Consulting.

“The mission is to leverage our extensive SAP supply chain expertise and help increase the competitiveness of our customers by implementing SAP best practices,” Mohamadou said. “One of our core objectives is to provide consultation, implementation and optimization services for manual and automated warehouses to our customers.”

viastore is capable of integrating different warehouse automation solutions directly to SAP EWM or SAP LES/TRM without third party middleware.

“Many companies have SAP, but aren’t fully utilizing the supply chain modules,” said Mohamadou. “With the EWM and WM modules, for example, we can extend the use of those modules, streamline and speed up the execution as well as reporting, and allow customers to ultimately get more out of their existing solution.”

Beyond extending the functionality of the EWM and WM modules of SAP, viastore can also fully implement the complete SAP extended warehouse management (EWM) and SAP LES (ERP-based WM) solutions.
