Issue

The Mobility solution streamlines logistics execution by providing automatic real-time data capture and updates, and facilitates the effective and efficient processing of the inbound, outbound and internal goods movements. To manage on site logistics operations, Syensqo has implemented Neptune based Mobility Solution (In short, Neptune Solution), which is a set of mobile applications developed based on Neptune platform integrating with SAP ECC backend programs. 

• As transitioning into SAP S/4HANA, it is a good opportunity to review the current customized Neptune solution and also assess some other options such as the SAP native mobile solution Inventory Manager, so to implement a standard, simplified and future proof logistics mobile solution across Syensqo. 
• KDD014 (Reference 3) describes that as part of the transition into SAP S/4HANA, the SAP WM module is obsolete.
  For that reason, the current mobility solution should be reviewed.
  

Recommendation

The recommendation is to keep on working with the Neptune application. It is advised to work together with a vendor offering prebuilt functionalities which interface with EWM in SAP S/4HANA. Functionalities for which the vendor does not offer a prebuilt solution will be built from scratch in the Neptune platform. The general guideline for the mobility solution is to keep it simple and intuitive for the end-user.
