Reduced Lead Times Thanks to Smart Yard Management
Benefit from lean and reliable processes in your yard management. We advise you on the topic of yard processes with SAP solutions and mobile apps.
Optimized Supply Chains with SAP Solutions and Mobile Apps
As the size of the truck waiting area (yard) increases, the management of its processes becomes more complex, often resulting in extended waiting times. Efficient yard management reduces the idle time for all transports and allows for a higher number of vehicles to be processed per hour.
With SAP EWM, companies can manage the yard, including their own parking lot structures, warehouse gates, and individual transport units in a clear and efficient manner. Mobile apps provide additional support for their warehouse processing.
Using Mobile Apps for Yard Management
Our mobile Fiori apps for the yard digitize processes and simplify handling on the factory premises by keeping delivery forecasts constantly up-to-date through status updates.
