Streamlining warehouse operations with a custom SAP-integrated mobile app

The challenge

Gaining control over a broad range of business processes and tight deadlines

Royal Unibrew, a leading European multi beverage producer and distributor company, faced fragmented warehouse operations across regions:

In Denmark, warehouses depended on pen-and-paper routines for planning, packing, and tracking. This created inefficiencies, human error and poor traceability.
In Norway, a new SAP-based warehouse process was being introduced, but it required a digital tool to underpin daily operations—and time was critical.

Both regions required a solution tailored to their unique workflows, pain points, and user requirements. The challenge was clear:

How could Trifork and Royal Unibrew design a single, flexible solution capable of supporting two very different environments?

The solution

One mobile app to rule them all

Royal Unibrew partnered with Trifork to co-create a custom mobile application that supports end-to-end warehouse processes of different plants — from inbound to outbound, including receiving, storing, picking, packing, and moving goods.

“The value has been clear. We’ve gained structure, traceability, and accuracy. We’ve reduced human error and made the lives of our warehouse teams easier. Internally, we just call it “the Trifork solution”, and we’re already discussing how to build on it further.”
