SAP Logistics Management for regional warehouse sites
Many companies operate smaller, regional warehouses alongside large distribution centers, with lower process complexity—yet they need the same transparency into inventory and operations. With SAP Logistics Management (LGM), they get a streamlined solution that integrates seamlessly into existing processes while providing room for innovation and scaling.
The cloud-based logistics solution combines the key functions for warehouse management and transportation execution with artificial intelligence and native connectivity to the SAP Business Network for Logistics (BN4L) for collaboration with logistics partners. Sites with low to medium process complexity can be connected quickly and cost-effectively.
