International template rollout strategy

A template built offshore still has to land on the floor.

You run a global SAP EWM programme, and Australia or APAC is the node where the template meets an operation it was not designed for. For global or central templates, we help land the design into Australian and APAC warehouse environments, so it works under local operating conditions, local team capability, local time zones and real warehouse pressure. We are the conduit between your offshore build team and the local floor, the same standard of senior EWM judgement head office expects, the way we were on the Knauf Pinkenba rollout.

Position 03 · International

The local conduit for a global template.

APAC · same time zone · gap-bridging

The position. A global SAP EWM template reaches your Australian site. The planning, the build and the architecture were settled offshore. What is missing is someone in country who can read the template, see where it does not fit the local operation, and tell the deploying entity where they have gone wrong before go-live, not after.

How we work. We advise local operations on change management and readiness, translate the template for the people who have to live with it, and design gap-fill in standard EWM that the global template can absorb, so the next country site inherits the work. We are Australian-based and on your time zone: no overnight handoffs, no hypercare gap waiting for Frankfurt to wake up.

What we land

  • The template tested against local operating conditions
  • Local team capability built so the floor can run it
  • Time-zone coverage, with a senior voice on the ground
  • Gap-fill in standard EWM that the global template can absorb
  • Readiness called honestly before go-live, not after

The Knauf precedent

On the Knauf Pinkenba rollout we acted as the local conduit between the German build team and Australian operations. Gap-fill solutions we designed in standard EWM for Goods Receipt from Manufacturing and Shipping were adopted into the Knauf global template. The global process owner called it the most successful GWMS rollout to date. Read the case study →

If a global template is heading for your Australian floor, a Floor Audit will tell you where the template and the operation are going to disagree, while there is still time to fix it.
