SAP Logistics Execution System
SAP Logistics Execution System
Powerful, integrated for your warehouse and transportation management processes
Coordinating the many different tasks, people and technical resources associated with running a warehouse and transporting goods has never been simple. Yet warehouse and transportation processes are a vital part of the supply chain, and essential to creating a responsive and efficient business organization.
