CAF Drives Digital Transformation with Cloud Solutions from SAP

MADRID SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced that CAF, a global leader in urban rail and bus systems, has successfully migrated to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition.

Newly unveiled innovations and partnerships revolutionize the way work gets done

This milestone marks the first step in CAF’s digital transformation journey to a sustainable and efficient manufacturing process.

Moving from a heavily customized on-premises landscape to a standardized one in the cloud, Beasain, Spain-based CAF has smoothly integrated SAP solutions into core business functions including master data management, record to report, source to pay, sales and transport, engineering to stock (including manufacturing) and workforce management.

“CAF is now set for future success, as our new technology landscape allows us to better comply with business requirements in a complex and fast-changing market,” said Guillermo Apellániz, CAF’s digital transformation director. “Additionally, we’re now able to leverage other technologies or capabilities such as AI with a focus on company efficiency.”

Continuing on its digital transformation journey, CAF is looking to enhance the integration of its data with the SAP Business Data Cloud (SAP BDC) and SAP Datasphere solutions. This will reduce time to market of analytical requests, enabling CAF to make data-driven decisions more efficiently. CAF will also tap into the SAP Databricks capability in SAP BDC to help it manage data from its various product lines of buses and trains. This will open new possibilities for integrating business and product data, with the potential to leverage artificial intelligence.

“SAP solutions are empowering CAF to focus on sustainability by manufacturing high-speed trains, commuter trains, metros and buses with low or zero emissions,” said José Vallés, managing director of SAP Spain. “The complexity of CAF’s projects and demanding supply chains require robust and flexible solutions, which SAP is proud to provide.”

SAP Named a Leader in 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Warehouse Management Systems

For the 12th consecutive year, SAP has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). WMS vendors compete to address market demands like cost reduction, automation and robotics support, and cloud deployment. Gartner says that Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow. A Gartner Magic Quadrant is a culmination of research in a specific market, giving you a wide-angle view of the relative positions of the market’s competitors. 

SAP’s positioning as a Leader is based on our ability to execute and the completeness of our supply chain vision. We believe this recognition represents our ongoing commitment to developing best-in-class warehouse management technology that can help organizations withstand the ever-shifting landscape of logistics operations.

Building on strength

Manage a high volume of goods and run sustainable, risk-resilient operations with digitalized warehouse processes in the cloud

Every day, supply chain managers are tasked with adapting to rapidly evolving technology, unprecedented disruptions, and increasing demand for faster delivery. These challenges are driving shippers toward implementing intelligent and agile technologies that make them more flexible and responsive.

However, that’s not enough. Now, integrated logistics processes are the new standard—allowing businesses to automate, optimize, and improve productivity across their entire warehouse and logistics operation.

SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) is a flexible, modern application that helps businesses manage a high volume of goods and run sustainable, digitalized, and risk-resilient operations with cloud-based warehouse processes. From simple warehouses to high-volume and automated distribution facilities, SAP EWM can integrate supply chain logistics with warehouse and distribution processes, helping to deliver the visibility and control organizations need.

  • Logistics process orchestration: SAP EWM offers integrations with SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) and SAP S/4HANA and components like transportation management, global trade compliance, plant maintenance, and manufacturing integration capabilities. With harmonized data and business objects, organizations can have fewer silos between warehousing and transportation with advanced shipping and receiving (ASR) to manufacture and distribute products more efficiently.
  • AI applications: SAP EWM offers AI and machine learning capabilities to help streamline warehouse operations, such as slotting to optimize storage and predictive labor demand planning to address the pressing challenges in executing warehouse operations that companies face due to labor shortages and increased order volumes.
  • Robotic-powered smart warehousing: SAP EWM customers can quickly onboard multiple robotics vendors to enable collaborative and efficient warehouse task operations. Customers have a choice of specialized SAP partners on SAP Store for faster adoption of robots in their warehouses. This scalable integration offers flexibility and can ultimately drive innovation by helping to lower costs, increase accuracy, and enhance capacity.

Why companies choose SAP

Companies worldwide, across diverse industries, rely on SAP Extended Warehouse Management to help optimize their warehouse operations and enhance supply chain efficiency.

  • The largest WMS customer base: With thousands of SAP EWM customers in 75 countries and 24 industries, our best-in-class deployment capabilities make us the preferred choice for businesses globally.
  • Comprehensive ecosystem: Our offerings encompass implementation, consulting, insights, and various other functions, enabling SAP EWM customers to manage their warehouse operations seamlessly within the SAP environment. Customers can access additional extensions through SAP Store, and future releases will foster further integration within the larger SAP ecosystem.
