Global Supply Chains
Real-Time Optimization with SAP
Logistics in the fashion and apparel segment is defined by retail processes that distinguish between wholesale and retail customers, with high demands for omnichannel and returns logistics. The high number of product variants and the fast-changing assortment pose constant challenges for IT systems.
SAP offers numerous possibilities to integrate specialized processes such as extended returns management or cross-docking with integrated value-added services – standard processes usually do not suffice for the requirements of fashion logistics, necessitating numerous industry-specific process adaptations. SWAN supports you with extensive experience in your project.

Flexible Warehouse Management
As Individual as Your Collections
Fashion thrives on diversity – sizes, colors, and styles must be perfectly organized. SAP EWM provides you with the flexibility to adapt your warehousing to changing requirements. With modern technologies like automated high-bay warehouses and sorting systems, you can make your warehouse processes efficient and error-free. Real-time inventory tracking ensures the availability of all items.
Automated processes minimize errors and speed up order processing. In addition, precise inventory management significantly reduces storage costs.

Omnichannel Logistics
Delighting Customers Online and Offline
Consumers today expect a seamless shopping experience across all channels. Whether online, in-store, or click-and-collect, SAP EWM allows you to integrate all sales channels into a single platform. Unified inventory management ensures that stocks are managed across channels in real-time. Flexible fulfillment strategies such as same-day delivery or in-store pickup provide your customers with multiple options.
Individualized services, such as personalization, can be directly integrated into your processes.

Returns Management
Sustainability Starts with Returns
With the growth of e-commerce, returns management has become increasingly important. SAP EWM enables efficient processing of returns, ensuring they quickly re-enter the sales cycle. Fast processing reduces handling time and costs.
Sustainability is supported by maximizing the reusability of items. At the same time, efficiency remains high as inventory is always up-to-date.

The Future of Fashion
Sustainability and Traceability
Transparency is the cornerstone of modern fashion companies. With SAP EWM, you can track every item seamlessly – from raw material to finished product. At the same time, you can reduce the carbon footprint of your logistics through optimized transport routes and resource-efficient processes. This traceability is ensured through comprehensive documentation along the entire supply chain. Intelligent route planning reduces emissions and supports your environmental goals, creating an efficient supply chain without compromise.
Triumph
From the production site in Wiener Neustadt, a logistics hub was created, serving as a distribution center for Europe. Together with an agile project team, SWAN implemented numerous value-added service processes at 48 VAS stations and fully integrated the MFS connection of the automated warehouse with conveyor technology for containers and pallets (approximately 2.5 kilometers), high-bay storage, automatic small parts warehouse, Retrapick, and 4-depth sorting towers. SWAN developed mobile SAP apps for Android and implemented all user dialogues consistently with SAPUI5 technology.
The Triumph project won the Austrian Logistics Award in 2019.
