Petronas Improves Warehouse Operational Efficiency by 70% Using Liquid UI Offline for SAP EWM
SAP EWM

Liquid UI Offline | Liquid UI for Android | Handheld scanners
Challenges
Desktop SAP screens slowed warehouse work – Standard transactions were designed for desktop use, making handheld execution difficult on rigs and in remote storage areas.
Connectivity interruptions stopped transactions – Offshore facilities frequently lost network access, disconnecting sessions during warehouse work.
Paper tracking caused delays and errors – During connectivity loss, movements were recorded on paper and entered later.
Inventory visibility became unreliable – Delayed updates created stock discrepancies that led to re-picks and expediting.
Solution
Offline warehouse execution – Warehouse and maintenance teams execute SAP EWM tasks on offshore rigs even when connectivity to SAP is unavailable.
Mobile SAP execution on handheld devices – SAP EWM transactions run on Android devices and handheld scanners, enabling warehouse work directly at the point of activity.
Mobilized SAP Z transactions – Existing Z transactions were mobilized without additional development, keeping processes familiar and reducing training time.
UI Mirroring – SAP screens, rules, and validations used online are mirrored offline, maintaining the same SAP experience.
