Have you decided on an SAP® IT strategy but are feeling less than enthusiastic about a long specifications phase? If so, you’re in the right place. With our Healthcare Model Company, we offer preconfigured, installation-ready and end-to-end software modules that broaden the SAP® standard and are tailored to the special requirements of the healthcare sector.

Your benefit? Take advantage of our detailed process know-how, honed and perfected through long-term customer partnerships in the healthcare sector. This includes more than 700 installations across the globe, including large companies such as Alliance Healthcare, McKesson, ABCD, Phoenix, Noweda or Sanacorp as well as local healthcare specialists.

With our Healthcare Model Company, we have a framework that already includes your processes. Working together, we find out what you need beyond the framework and then implement these requirements rapidly. Through this joint effort, your key users get their hands on the SAP® EWM system early on. This saves you time and costs, reducing the risk from the start.

Project management according to the SAP ACTIVATE principle

  • Discover: This phase lets you get acquainted with the SAP functions provided
  • Prepare: Based on our expertise and years of experience in the healthcare sector, we suggest reference processes. These include specific requirements from pre-wholesale, pharmaceutical wholesale and online pharmacies – whatever fits your business model.
  • Explore: Using a fit-gap analysis, we determine together which processes are missing and which modules can be rounded out
  • Realize: During this phase, we configure the software and implement developments. Using emulation and simulation models and working with our customers, we can test all the processes without a real warehouse. This minimizes the testing and ramp-up phases of the logistics system and keeps the project risk to a minimum
  • Deploy and run: During all of project management, you work closely together with our implementation team until everything is running like clockwork
  • 24/7 Service Desk: After startup, our Service Desk provides you with support, 24/7 in ongoing operation

Die Grafik zeigt drei verschiedene Ebenen. Die oberste Ebene ist das SAP® ERP System. Es ist ein weißes Feld mit dem Text SAP® ERP sowie dem Logo von SAP im linken Eck. Die Ebene darunter ist ein gelbes Feld und bildet die nächste Softwareebene unter SAP® ERP. Im linken Eck befindet sich wieder das Logo von SAP und im rechten Eck das Logo von KNAPP. Dazwischen steht der Text SAP® EWM by KNAPP und SAP® EWM by MFS by KNAPP. Am unteren Rand des Feldes ist ein Textblock, der die KNAPP Building Blocks darstellt. In der dritten und letzten Ebene sind die Maschinen als Icons dargestellt, die durch die obere Ebene (SAP® EWM MFS by KNAPP) gesteuert werden. Diese sind der OSR Shuttle™, ein Paletten- und Behälterfördersystem und ein Roboter. Außerhalb des Feldes befinden sich noch die Icons für einen Computer, einen Drucker und ein RF-Terminal, die auch an die Softwarelandschaft angebunden sind. Das gelbe Feld ist eine grafische Darstellung der Healthcare Model Company, die bereits alle wichtigen Kernprozesse vom Wareneingang über die produktgerechte Lagerung und Qualitätskontrolle bis zum Warenausgang, konfiguriert in einer Art und Weise, wie sie in der Pharmabranche benötigt werden, beinhaltet sowie die dafür notwendigen KNAPP Building Blocks.
Die Healthcare Model Company ist nur eine von mehreren Möglichkeiten für die Einführung von SAP® EWM in unserem Leistungsportfolio mit SAP® EWM by KNAPP.
