Yard Logistics - SAP
•SAP Yard Logistics is a new tool in a set of solutions to help you streamline,
connect and simplify your supply chain by making your yard more smart and
efficient. Reinvent your supply chain and uncover the range of new
possibilities for your business.

•Operating a truck, container or rail yard more efficiently and profitably relies
on the visibility of all yard processes and the ability to plan and manage
workloads effectively. The SAP Yard Logistics App is able to support these
capabilities across a vast spectrum of industries and transportation types by
centralizing and simplifying yard management processes and operations.

•Make your yard logistics processes quicker and more accurate with the
intuitive app user interface. Increase the visibility of inbound and outbound
transport, as well as being prepared and alerted to exceptions and unplanned
yard movements or activities, such as cleaning, repair or dangerous goods
checks.
