We plan and implement groundbreaking solutions for customs in retail and industry. To achieve this goal the best we can, we also work with select competence partners in addition to the ROFA Group.

SAP-Integration

The use of SAP as a storage management and material flow system is becoming increasingly important. And with it, the interest of many companies, primarily from the mid-sized sector, in fully integrated ERP-WMS landscapes, especially in the form of SAP-EWM/MFS, is growing too. Since 2005, BSS has been a pioneer in intralogistics for direct links between SAP and the subordinate control level (PLC). Together with our partner IOT GmbH, we offer complete WMS-MFC solutions under SAP for our automatic storage systems.
