LFS - Warehouse Management System

The flexibility of a software solution and its level of integration are equally important. The focus is on fulfilling requirements not only today, but continuing into the future. With our whitepaper about recommendations on selecting a warehouse management system, we have set up a guideline for you.

A good warehouse management system is exceptionally efficient in controlling the entire material and information flow in logistics centres. The system should run trouble-free on all common platforms as well as all market-leading data bases. The solution needs to be extremly flexible to meet your criteria to grow with your requirements.

Warehouse management systems need to accomplish more than just managing and organizing a warehouse. A WMS should be able to control the entire flow of goods with only one software version – even across borders and in multiple languages, and with each individual site or subsidiary having different sets of requirements. With LFS, you have a solution that actively controls all of your logistics processes from just one source.

Companies require ever more functions in order to take full advantage of the cost-saving potential within the warehouse and to be able to respond to future requirements placed on the warehouse environment. A flexible warehouse management system, that fits, helps to increase your process workflow efficiency and allows not only for noticeable savings but also ensures your logistics’ future viability at a low cost.

The first group are systems that are part of an ERP package (e.g. SAP). The second group of systems comes from specialist suppliers, such as the Ehrhardt Partner Group, who have specific logistics expertise and have developed their own warehouse management system. Our whitepaper provides an overview to help you decide what system may suit you.

In contrast to logistics systems that are part of an ERP package, warehouse management systems from specialized WMS providers are specifically geared to the requirements of the logistics industry. As a result, many essential functions are available out of the box in the standard software solution, so extensive customization is not necessary. Solutions such as the warehouse management system (LFS) also offer a greater range of functions than ERP systems and can therefore be directly adapted to the needs of customers.

Companies therefore get planning certainty with a future-proof system that is ready for future challenges and growth. Our screens and user interface, as well as the content of our software, are specifically tailored to the requirements of logistics. Your warehouse employees get just the information they actually need. For example, Ehrhardt + Partner Group employs a lot of former warehouse and logistics managers, who bring their practical experience to bear on development.

When it comes to selecting the right warehouse management system, system interfaces are crucial. LFS and SAP, for example, are connected using our certified SAP interface. The data content in the specific IDocs is defined with the customer and SAP consultants, to keep costs to a minimum. We have connected LFS to a wide variety of IT environments and systems in hundreds of projects. Please contact us to discuss the requirements for your warehouse management system.
