Transportation and Logistics
Transportation and logistics are supply chain sub-functions that cater to movement of people and goods. Since supply chains exist to fulfill demand by getting the products to the customers, and transportation and logistics takes care of the actual movement, they form the backbone of most supply chains. As recent disruptions in supply chains across industries have shown, transportation and logistics are prone to process failures and risks. Effective management and transformation of transportation and logistics is therefore a priority for companies across industries.

SAP and Partner Technologies for Transportation and Logistics
Technology is rapidly transforming transportation and logistics. From building supply chain visibility through track and trace technologies to using emerging technologies like IoT, transportation and logistics function is getting redefined across industries. Examples of areas where technology is transforming transportation are:
Visibility solutions help track and trace transportation and logistics operations in real-time. This real-time data, when paired with technologies like IoT, can also help gain real-time insights into the condition of products that are moving through the transportation and logistics network.
Planning and management solutions help in transportation and logistics services procurement, transportation and demand planning, warehouse management planning, and warehouse operations execution. Examples of such solutions are transportation management solutions, warehouse management systems (WMS), warehouse execution systems (WMS).
Automation systems, primarily leveraged in warehouse operations, like warehouse mobile and static robots, help enhance warehouse productivity and efficiency by taking away many manual labor tasks, accelerating warehouse flow in many scenarios.
Optimization and analytics solutions help leverage transportation and logistics data to help gain new insights into efficiency opportunities in the network, redesign the network or perform simulations on warehouse processes. Examples of solutions are route optimization, transportation spend analytics, transportation network optimization, simulation etc.
