Hamburg, 25.02.2019 – One of the primary logistics objectives in the consumer goods industry and trade is adherence to delivery dates. At the same time, the transport sector is one of the main cost drivers within the supply chain. Consequently, the focus of the participating players with complex production and supply chains is on the optimization of transport processes. leogistics GmbH, a global SAP logistics partner in the area of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) specializing in transportation management, warehouse management and yard management, supports its customers in tapping into their profitability potential and making massive savings, particularly in freight costs. To this end, the Hamburg-based company offers 360-degree consulting on the transformation of transport management processes based on SAP TM, including the implementation of holistic transport and distribution strategies.
"One of leogistics' consulting focuses is SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM), which can be used to reduce transportation costs and simultaneously optimize material and goods flows. This enables our customers to achieve greater profitability and service quality", says André Käber, CEO of leogistics GmbH.
Designing global supply chains
Against the background of growing individualisation and a completely new dimension of reaction speed and delivery times, retailers and manufacturers in the food sector must design and coordinate their global and local supply chains accordingly. More and more SAP and non-SAP functions need to be sensibly combined to create true digital supply chains. For example, leogistics develops concepts for and with its customers on how parts of the supply chain can be managed in the cloud so that, among other things, goods distribution, inventories, availabilities or quality data can be accessed at any time by all those involved in the process.
