The increasing complexity of intralogistics requires a
scalable solution that seamlessly integrates all
material flow resources— mobile robots, forklifts,
tugger trains, and workers—into SAP landscapes.
Since full automation is not always feasible, a hybrid
approach combining both manual and automated
resources is essential. What matters most is that the
material is transported efficiently—regardless of
whether by humans or machines. The best resource
for the job must be utilized.
FlexGuide4, an all-in-one SAP intralogistics solution
for hybrid fleets, enables centralized control and
optimization of mobile robots, forklifts, tugger trains,
and workers.
Powered by SAP Business Technology Platform
(SAP BTP), FlexGuide4 is a cloud-based platform
with AI-driven fleet management that optimizes task
allocation and route planning, ensuring seamless,
safe, and scalable operations.
By leveraging innovative technologies such as AI
and digital twins, combined with SAP BTP and IoT
integration, FlexGuide4 enhances efficiency,
reduces costs, and enables hybrid automation.
Companies using FlexGuide4 are well-prepared for
their automation journey, transitioning from the initial
digitalization of material flow with manually driven
forklifts to complex robotic automation. By reducing
manual interventions, FlexGuide4 enables an
adaptive and scalable logistics environment,
ensuring efficiency and seamless operations.

GLOBAL CHALLENGES
Challenges
BUSINESS CHALLENGES
PUBLIC 5
Intralogistics faces profound global challenges, requiring
companies to adapt quickly. Labor shortages and rising wages
make efficient automation solutions essential. At the same time,
outdated IT and warehouse management systems hinder the
integration of modern technologies such as AI, mobile robotics and
IoT. A lack of real-time visibility leads to inefficient material flows,
increased search times, and unnecessary empty runs.
Additionally, companies must implement sustainable processes to
reduce CO₂ emissions. Growing complexity in material flow
processes demands scalable, flexible systems that intelligently
connect manual and autonomous transport resources. Only
through seamless SAP integration and AI-driven optimization can
efficiency gains be fully realized.
Businesses must automate intralogistics to stay competitive. Many
start with isolated processes not synchronized with SAP. As
automation grows, a middleware is needed to connect SAP with
mobile robots and intralogistics resources. Customers also seek to
follow SAP’s clean code approach for high software quality.
Without this, scaling remains inefficient. FlexGuide4 fills this gap as
an intelligent fleet manager, ensuring seamless SAP
communication, real-time visibility, optimized workflows, and
scalable automation—transforming fragmented automation into a
cohesive, SAP-integrated logistics system.
