We turned outbound delivery document generation into a one-scan warehouse workflow on SAP MDK and BTP.
The challenge
Winc Australia’s warehouse teams relied on manual system steps for document generation and delivery verification. Staff needed to navigate multiple screens and manually enter delivery information to generate invoices and shipping documents, slowing throughput and creating avoidable opportunities for error.
The opportunity was to bring a modern mobile scanning workflow into the warehouse without replacing existing hardware. The solution needed to work on rugged Android RF devices, integrate with SAP backend systems, and give warehouse staff a fast, clear interaction model suited to operational conditions.
What we did
Beta Digital developed a mobile scanning application using SAP Mobile Development Kit. The app was designed to run on the Android RF devices already deployed across Winc’s warehouse network, using their built-in laser scanning capability as the primary input method.
The core workflow was simplified to a single interaction: scan the outbound delivery barcode and the relevant invoices and shipping documents are retrieved, formatted and sent to the nearest printer. The application communicates with SAP backend systems through BTP services, retrieving delivery details, invoice data and print configuration in real time.
The implementation required careful handling of device-specific scan events, backend connectivity and warehouse edge cases such as damaged barcodes, duplicate scans and network interruptions. The interface followed SAP Fiori principles while prioritising large touch targets, immediate status feedback and minimal navigation depth for the warehouse environment.
What it delivered
The application significantly reduced the manual workload associated with outbound delivery document generation. Warehouse staff could move from multi-screen manual processing to one-step scan-and-print execution, reducing both processing time and error risk.
The project also established a reusable mobile architecture for Winc’s warehouse environment. SAP MDK and BTP connectivity now provide a foundation for further scanning and mobile workflow applications across warehouse operations.
