SAP Logistics Management:
Warehouse and transport in one cloud
SAP Logistics Management (LGM) combines warehouse execution and transport planning in a lean cloud solution. It is meant for local sites and satellite warehouses that want to manage without the complexity of large systems.
The starting point
When warehouse and transport are treated separately
Especially at smaller sites and satellite warehouses, goods receipt, storage and shipping often run in different tools, with manual handovers and without an end-to-end view.
Isolated solutions
Separate tools for warehouse and transport do not talk to each other. That means double maintenance and media breaks.
Manual handovers
Between picking, loading and shipping, data is retyped and phone calls are made. This costs time and causes errors.
No shipment visibility
Where is the cargo, when does the truck arrive? Without real-time status, dispatching is flying blind.
Dwell times at the gate
Without planned time slots, trucks queue up at goods receipt. This ties up staff and ramps.
The solution
Everything a site needs for warehouse and shipping
LGM bundles warehouse and transport functions in one interface, with network connection and AI. Set up close to standard and usable on mobile devices.
Warehouse execution
Goods receipt, put-away, picking, packing and goods issue in guided processes, for warehouses with low to medium complexity.
Transport planning
Consolidate shipments, plan freight and dispatch orders, closely linked to warehouse processes in the same system.
Network collaboration
Direct collaboration with carriers via SAP Business Network, with real-time updates instead of email ping-pong.
Dock appointment scheduling
Plan time slots for the dock and reduce dwell times at the gate, with self-booking for your partners.
In-transit visibility
Real-time status along the shipment so planning and sales can react early to deviations.
Joule and mobile app
The AI assistant Joule answers questions in natural language, and the SAP Warehouse Logistics app brings the processes to the device.
The right choice
LGM or the full SAP EWM and TM?
Not every site needs the same tool. We help you honestly assess what fits your complexity instead of selling you too much.

Frequently asked questions
SAP Logistics Management: questions and answers
Answers to what companies ask us most often before they start.
What exactly is SAP Logistics Management?
SAP Logistics Management (LGM) is a cloud solution that combines warehouse execution and transport planning in one application. It is aimed at local sites and satellite warehouses with low to medium complexity and can be integrated into an existing SAP landscape.
How does LGM differ from SAP EWM and SAP TM?
SAP EWM and SAP TM are the deep, customizable solutions for complex, often automated warehouses and demanding transport networks. LGM covers processes with low to medium complexity and is ready sooner as a cloud solution. Which path fits depends on your process depth. We assess this together in the first conversation.
Can LGM be integrated into our existing SAP?
Yes. LGM is designed to work with SAP Cloud ERP Private. You connect carriers and partners through SAP Business Network. This avoids additional isolated solutions.
How quickly is LGM ready to use?
As a cloud solution, LGM can be provisioned quickly without its own infrastructure project. How quickly your site goes live depends on scope and data. We give a reliable estimate after the fit assessment.
Does LGM include artificial intelligence?
Yes. The SAP AI assistant Joule is embedded and can be used in natural language, for example for questions about stock or shipments. The mobile app SAP Warehouse Logistics also brings the core processes to the device in the warehouse.
