FAQ
Honest answers
Does it replace SAP EWM?
It covers the core execution processes most warehouses use. Highly automated sites with conveyors or AS/RS may need more. We run a gap analysis before you commit.
Can it connect to our ERP?
It is built into Cortex ERP, and integrates with SAP and other systems through APIs with retry and replay.
How do you know it holds under load?
We simulate a busy day, with dozens of pickers and receivers working at once on a real database, and then check that every stock figure still adds up.
