Unlock The Full Potential Of
SAP Across Your Supply Chain
Implementing SAP is a major financial and operational commitment but without deep understanding of SAP’s logistics capabilities during planning and rollout, many organisations end up with under-utilised functionality, manual workarounds and inefficiencies, poor user adoption, missed commercial gains and limited system visibility and traceability. These issues are especially common in warehouse, production, and distribution environments where real‑time data capture and accurate labelling are critical.
Your SAP partner knows ERP, but they may not specialise in supply chain best practice, barcoding or operational workflows. That’s where we come in.
At Barcode-IT, we help you bridge that gap by enhancing SAP with specialist logistics modules, intelligent barcode label printing and industry‑leading data capture hardware. Our consultants take an agnostic, supply‑chain‑first approach ensuring that the technology you choose, genuinely fits your operational needs and delivers measurable value.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Let us remove the complexity from managing your SAP supply chain implementation. With deep expertise in logistics and operational workflows, we bring a unique perspective that allows us to oversee your entire project with confidence. Instead of juggling multiple suppliers, you work with one team who coordinates every element and provides a single, reliable point of contact. As an agnostic project management partner, we cut through the blame culture that often appears during implementation by quickly identifying issues and clearly explaining how to resolve them at specification, installation, and support stages.
At Barcode‑IT, we understand how critical it is to receive the right guidance before investing in a solution. That’s why our consultancy service is completely independent. We work with a wide network of software developers, hardware manufacturers and device management specialists, giving you access to a range of options and ensuring you select the solution that genuinely fits your business.
With more than 30 years in the barcoding industry and extensive experience supporting SAP customers, we’re able to advise on every aspect of your project. You gain the simplicity of dealing with one company while still accessing the best software and hardware solutions on the market. Our expertise has been recognised by SAP through our acceptance into the SAP PartnerEdge programme, enabling us to deepen our SAP knowledge and deliver even greater value to our customers.
For businesses already running SAP, long‑standing workarounds and system quirks can become part of daily life. Our experts can step into your operation, highlight opportunities to streamline processes and uncover underused SAP functionality that can significantly improve accuracy, efficiency, and overall performance.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
Barcode-IT brought structure, clarity, and ownership to a project that had previously lacked direction.
When we first went live with our SAP mobility project, we faced system instability, inconsistent device performance and no clear accountability across multiple vendors. Issues were passed around, confidence dropped and some sites even reverted to paper.
Barcode‑IT stepped in, reviewed the entire environment end‑to‑end, identified the root causes and took ownership of the recovery plan. By coordinating all parties and addressing the underlying issues - not just the symptoms - they restored stability and confidence across the SAP landscape.

SAP MOBILE CLIENT OPTIONS
Running mobile devices with the standard SAP ITS mobile application screen can lead to a reduction in productivity and rejection of the system by operators, who find the basic screens cumbersome and user unintuitive. To ensure we can provide our customers with an end-to-end SAP logistics solution, we work closely with a number of SAP® software specialists in SAP Business One®, S4/HANA®, ECC, and HEC, who excel in delivering mobile applications that run on the Android and Windows based data capture hardware. User intuitive applications transactions can all now be used directly in the workspace, using the latest mobile barcode devices to take your SAP® ERP directly to your employees.
Standard and enhanced SAP transactions can be handled by workers carrying out operational transactions, using the latest handheld data capture terminals to direct them and scanning barcodes to complete transactions in real time, with instant updates to SAP. This massively increases productivity, reduces errors and improves efficiency right across the business.
A range of standard SAP transactions are available for mobile devices, including; Inventory Management (IM), Warehouse Management (WM), Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), Materials Management (MM), Proof Of Delivery (POD), Stock Room and RFID.

LABEL PRINTING FROM SAP
Does printing barcode labels containing data from SAP cause you endless headaches? Our customers using SAP often complain about incorrectly formatted barcodes, costly change requests and hardcoded printer languages limiting the choice of printers they use when printing direct from SAP. But it doesn't have to be that way. Integrating Loftware Cloud with SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC transforms the way businesses manage and print labels. By connecting your labelling directly to SAP’s real‑time data and workflows, you eliminate manual processes, reduce errors and ensure every label is accurate, compliant and ready for global distribution.
WHY INTEGRATE LOFTWARE CLOUD WITH SAP?
Most SAP environments rely on outdated, manual or heavily customised labelling processes, but a modern supply chain demands speed, accuracy, and consistency. Loftware Cloud brings all three by embedding labelling into the SAP processes your teams already use, modern, cloud‑based platform that integrates directly with SAP.
THE LOFTWARE CLOUD DIFFERENCE
Our customers quickly experience the impact of an integrated label printing system: greater accuracy on every label, higher customer satisfaction and a significant boost in operational efficiency. With Loftware Cloud, data flows directly from SAP via a certified connector. Printing is triggered automatically, ensuring every label is correct, consistent and never duplicated. For operators, the process is effortless. They simply press print or let the system print automatically in the background.
Save valuable time by previewing finished labels, complete with templates and master data from SAP, in Loftware Cloud. Maintain a full electronic archive of every printed label for complete traceability. Loftware Cloud supports rapid, on‑demand printing with instant “first label out” performance, without placing any load on the SAP spooler. That means no delays, no bottlenecks and no spooler lag. Real‑time status notifications take on‑demand printing to a new level of visibility and control.
The built‑in Document Management System (DMS) gives you a single, centralised repository for all label templates. You gain:
-
Full version history for every template
-
Built‑in change request and approval workflows
-
Complete visibility of who accessed, edited or printed each label
DMS digitises your entire quality assurance process, giving you the documentation and audit trail needed for robust quality control.
Loftware Cloud includes native filters and business rules for SAPscript’s Raw Data Interface (RDI) and XML for Smart Forms (XSF). There’s no need for costly external connectors or custom development. You get everything required to deploy a fully digitised, end‑to‑end label printing and production process, without writing a single line of ABAP.
MOBILE DATA CAPTURE DEVICES
Barcode‑IT supply a complete range of handheld mobile computers and tablets designed to power SAP operations across your entire workspace. We partner with industry leaders, including Zebra, Honeywell, CipherLab and Datalogic to deliver rugged, high‑performance devices built for demanding environments.

WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY
Do your teams struggle with data capture devices or mobile printers dropping off the WIFI, slowing to a crawl or refusing to connect altogether? Are lost transactions creating admin headaches? Or is ongoing frustration starting to damage devices or even confidence in your SAP EWM solution? If any of this sounds familiar, it may be time to review the health of your wireless infrastructure or explore the benefits of a private industrial wireless network.
A reliable wireless network is the backbone of any modern warehouse or industrial operation, especially when your teams depend on mobile data capture devices, handheld terminals and SAP-driven workflows. At Barcode‑IT, we design, survey, install and optimise wireless networks that keep your operations running smoothly, no matter how demanding the environment.
WIRELESS NETWORK DESIGN, SURVEY AND INSTALLATION
Whether you’re opening a new site, expanding into additional warehouse space or replacing an ageing network, we can deliver a fully engineered wireless solution tailored to your operation. We can help with:
-
New wireless network installations for warehouses, production areas and logistics sites
-
Upgrades or replacements for outdated or underperforming networks
-
Expansion projects, ensuring new warehouse zones or mezzanines are fully covered
-
Network optimisation to support high‑density scanning, roaming and SAP EWM or IM transactions
Every project begins with a detailed site survey and predictive design to ensure coverage, capacity and roaming are optimised for the devices your teams rely on.
WIRELESS NETWORK HEALTH CHECKS
If your staff experience dropped connections, slow performance or intermittent device failures, the wireless network is often the root cause. Our wireless health checks identify:
-
Coverage gaps and dead zones
-
Interference from machinery, racking or neighbouring networks
-
Incorrect access point placement or configuration
-
Roaming issues affecting handheld terminals and mobile printers
-
Misalignment between your network setup and the requirements of SAP mobile workflows
We provide clear recommendations and a practical action plan to restore stability and performance.
EXPERT GUIDANCE FOR THE RIGHT DEVICE CHOICE
Industrial wireless environments are very different from office spaces and surveying them with a laptop, tablet or smartphone simply doesn’t provide the accuracy required, because:
-
Consumer devices don’t behave like industrial handhelds. They use different antennas, power levels and roaming logic, so the results won’t reflect how your scanners or mobile computers actually perform.
-
Signal readings are misleading. A laptop may show “good” WiFi, while a handheld terminal struggles to maintain a connection during SAP transactions.
-
Industrial environments introduce unique challenges. Racking, pallets, forklifts, metal structures and constantly changing stock levels all affect wireless performance in ways consumer devices can’t measure accurately.
-
You risk designing a network that looks fine on paper but fails in real‑world use. This leads to dropped transactions, slow performance and frustrated operators.
We survey using enterprise‑grade equipment and methodologies that replicate the behaviour of your actual mobile devices. This ensures the network is engineered for the way your warehouse truly operates, not how a laptop thinks it does.
