Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted global supply networks like never before, particularly exacerbating challenges related to sudden spikes in demand and warehouse operations. This article explores the impact of warehouse-related issues and significant spikes in demand on supply chain resilience, operational effectiveness, and customer service standards. As buyers procured more materials to manage these disruptions, warehouses received more products than usual. Given the challenges of increased demand and warehouse limitations, this paper examines the creative approaches and industry best practices businesses employ to maintain continuity and enhance resilience during challenging times. Importantly, it focuses on a mobility solution, a crucial tool developed to address inefficiencies in warehouse receiving resulting from these changes. This solution, leveraging SAP Mobility and Digital Supply Chain Management, aims to automate warehouse operations, enhance inventory visibility, streamline putaway processes, and boost overall warehousing efficiency, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of goods receipt.
