SAP Solutions for Transportation and Logistics Industry
Optimize your company’s supply chain processes across all stages using advanced SAP solutions for supply chain logistics management.



Transform and Streamline Your Logistics Operations
According to the State of Logistics 2023 report by Kearney, the logistics industry is currently facing the following challenges:
- Supply chain demand remains unpredictable due to ongoing economic uncertainty.
- The persistent labor shortage poses a pressing concern.
- The changing landscape of road and maritime freight demands innovative approaches to balance and optimization.
- The growing reliance on third-party logistics firms by shippers highlights the necessity for advanced software solutions to manage complex supply chains.
At LeverX, we are equipped to tackle these challenges with sophisticated software solutions. For instance, in a recent collaboration with a major European port, we customized SAP Yard Logistics to enhance resource planning. Our efforts resulted in improved berth planning, automated vessel placement, and route planning, which reduced loading/unloading times and prevented resource shutdowns. Additionally, we introduced Planning Groups and integrated third-party systems such as CAR Center and Solver to enhance resource allocation and planning visualization, ultimately leading to more efficient operations and resource distribution.
At LeverX, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that address a variety of logistics challenges head-on. You can always rely on our expertise to help resolve your business issues and optimize your logistics operations.
SAP SOLUTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS
TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT
SAP solutions streamline logistics and help reduce transportation costs.
SAP SOLUTIONS:
- SAP Transportation Management: Automate route planning, carrier management, and transportation cost calculations.
- SAP Event Management: Track shipments in real time, quickly resolve issues, and minimize delays.
- SAP Logistics Business Network: Connect supply chain participants for seamless document and data exchange.
AI & ML Use in Transportation and Logistics
Transport and logistics companies rely on timing, accuracy, and adaptability. SAP systems already manage the flow, but AI takes it further by improving foresight and automating routine decision-making.
How AI makes logistics more predictable and flexible:
- Optimizing delivery routes based on traffic, weather, and order data (SAP TM + ML).
- Predicting delays and fleet overloads using IoT data and predictive models.
- Automating warehouse operations and stock replenishment with AI-powered insights.
- Smart task distribution across transport and drivers using real-time analytics (SAP Event Management + AI).
SAP solutions come with embedded AI options that support these scenarios. We help implement and adjust them to fit your logistics model — or develop new AI tools if your operations require a more tailored setup.
