Extend SAP Access to Warehouse and Maintenance Frontlines

2BM A/S, now part of SOA People, develops SAP-certified mobile applications under the 2BM Software brand that let warehouse, maintenance, and production workers complete SAP tasks from handheld devices instead of desktop terminals.

The Copenhagen-based company, founded in 2000, became part of SOA People in 2022 and operates within SOA People’s broader SAP services business. Its 2BM Software brand sells 2BM Mobile Warehouse and 2BM Mobile Work Order as flagship products.

2BM Software positions the software as a way to connect the SAP frontline workforce through one flexible app rather than separate desktop screens per role.

2BM Mobile Warehouse Brings Scanning to SAP Inventory Tasks

2BM Mobile Warehouse carries SAP certification for integration with SAP NetWeaver and uses a SAP Fiori-based frontend with SAP BTP standard architecture. It mobilizes SAP Extended Warehouse Management and Inventory Management processes and works with both SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA.

The product defines separate personas for floor pickers, fork lift drivers, goods receivers, inventory counters, quality inspectors, and goods issuers. It supports offline scanning, multiple languages, and runs across Android, iOS, Windows, and desktop browsers.

Persona-Based Design Extends SAP Access Beyond Warehouses

Warehouse scanning is one piece of a broader platform. 2BM Software describes its core offering as a mobile-first, multi-persona, AI-enabled solution built to power the SAP frontline workforce across maintenance, warehouse, and production from one flexible app.

Predefined personas include Maintenance Technician, Maintenance Supervisor, Production Operator, and Warehouse Worker, and customers can define custom personas.

Casper Aagaard, 2BM Software’s head of delivery, says user adoption determines whether an SAP mobile project delivers real business value, not just a successful rollout. The company frames implementation around tailoring the experience to end users.

Ask Odin Adds AI Assistance to SAP Maintenance Work

2BM Software has layered a generative AI assistant, Ask Odin, on top of its Mobile Work Order app for maintenance technicians. It is a personal maintenance assistant designed to process orders, search maintenance data, and analyze documentation on request.

2BM Software positions Ask Odin as an AI layer inside Mobile Work Order that can use connected SAP maintenance data, documentation, and manuals. The assistant reflects a broader push across 2BM Software’s maintenance, warehouse, and production tools to add AI search and automation to existing SAP mobile workflows.

What This Means for SAPinsiders

• AI assistants move into frontline ERP support. 2BM Software is pairing generative AI with mobile ERP apps to help workers search documentation and process tasks inside maintenance workflows. Enterprise software teams evaluating frontline mobile tools increasingly weigh AI search and voice features alongside core scanning functions.
• Mobile-first warehouse tools become standard practice. SAP customers have more partner options for replacing desktop-bound or legacy warehouse workflows with Fiori-based scanning apps. Warehouse operations teams comparing vendors typically prioritize offline support and multi-device compatibility over feature breadth.
• SAP partner ecosystems consolidate through acquisition. Larger SAP consultancies such as SOA People continue acquiring specialized mobile and AI vendors to broaden their portfolios. Enterprises selecting implementation partners increasingly weigh combined consultancy and software support under one vendor relationship.
