Focus on customer benefits

SAP logistics specialist Swan and SSI Schaefer, solution provider for modular warehouse and logistics systems, are combining their expertise in the digitalization of logistics and the close technical integration of automated warehouse technology.

Swan is taking over all employees of SSI Schaefer's SAP business unit and integrating them into the company along with all existing branches. The intralogistics specialist SSI Schaefer becomes the majority shareholder of Swan, which will continue to operate independently on the market.

Within the partnership, Swan will take over the project management of SSI Schaefer's SAP division. With over 120 SAP experts, this strategic merger creates a comprehensive provider in the field of SAP logistics with automation expertise.

In addition to the standardized logistics software Wamas, which was developed in-house, SSI Schaefer is strengthening its project expertise in the implementation of logistics solutions with SAP EWM as part of the partnership in order to provide its customers with a comprehensive service. Of course, logistics systems will continue to be offered in their entirety as a general contractor.

Steffen Bersch, CEO of the SSI Schaefer Group (l.), and Alexander Bernhard, Managing Director of Swan, are pleased about the partnership strengthening the SAP competencies of both companies.
