Attempting video calls with cats on keyboards, barking dogs and doorbells ringing is the new reality for many. As companies across the UK are encouraging working from home, very different challenges are being faced as workers try to continue with their daily business tasks amid normal homelife.
The Config Team would like to provide the reassurance that we are actively putting measures in place to ensure the safety of our staff, customers and partners and the continuity of our business services.
We sat down with Joerg Michaelis, Vice President & Chief Product Owner SAP Extended Warehouse Management at SAP SE, to gain some insights into EWM…
With increasingly more warehouses adopting automated processes and implementing new technology, they can enhance the benefits with SAP EWM, but what is EWM and is it right for you?
SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) is a module within SAP’s Supply Chain Management suite of solutions. It is a warehouse management solution that provides flexible, automated support for managing stock movements through the entire warehouse process from goods in through to picking and packing and goods out.
We now have our 2019 figures in, and we are celebrating a record year, after experiencing 32% growth year-on-year and increasing our workforce by a third to support our future growth plans.
Over the last two years, our business has grown rapidly as we have responded to market developments that have driven an uptake in automation and digitalisation of supply chains. The increasing number of customers now utilising our support services and product solutions, in addition to our traditional consultancy, has fuelled a recruitment drive to support our business growth.
We are committed to supporting worthwhile causes where we can and, this year, we have asked our employees to nominate charities they would like to support. After carefully considering all suggestions, we are delighted that The Config Team will be supporting Alzheimer’s Society and Mind during 2020.
Starting the year as we mean to go on, we have already pledged to donate £400 to the charities from some events that we organised at the end of last year, including our own version of Movember and our very popular Christmas Fuddle.
We are kicking off the new year in style as we celebrate becoming an SAP Gold Partner, after being recognised for our technical expertise and outstanding customer delivery.
Needing to meet strict criteria to become a Gold Partner, SAP reviewed the level of knowledge of our specialist SAP Supply Chain Consultants, along with gaining customer feedback on recently delivered projects. With over 25 years’ experience within the SAP Supply Chain, we were able to demonstrate a high level of technical competence among our consultants.
We have sat down with Paul Roddis, Co-Founder and Co-Managing Director at Icon Integration, to discuss their project with Fonterra Brands looking at mobility with the SAP supply chain.
Based in Australia and New Zealand, Icon Integration is a strategic partner to The Config Team and specialists in SAP, Supply Chain and Business Intelligence. Icon Integration is a reseller and implementor of the Movilizer for SAP Logistics application suite.
It’s our birthday and we have achieved a quarter century! Along with the celebrations that are taking place internally and are planned later in the year, we thought this would be a good time to sit down with our founder and Managing Director - Andrew Moses, to look back over the past 25 years. See what forced a name change for the company, memorable projects, changes in the supply chain and what the future holds.
“We have removed somewhere near to 2.5million pieces of paper. To take out that volume of paperwork so far has revolutionised that side of our supply chain.” – Chris Juster, Distribution Manager, Roberts Bakery.
