22. May 2022With a complete portfolio of SAP-based and proprietary cloud solutions, leogistics meets all needs in yard management and plant logistics, from global corporations to medium-sized enterprises..
(Hamburg) leogistics GmbH is shaping the future of plant logistics with its tailored solutions. Whether a publicly listed industrial corporation or a regional shipper, the product and service range is aimed at various companies with their individual requirements in yard logistics. The digital supply chain expert has successfully implemented all deployment options: as a highly specialized on-premise or hosted solution within the SAP system landscape, on a flexible cloud basis in the form of the logistics platform myleo / dsc, or as a hybrid variant of all models. Since 2022, there is also a comprehensive hardware offering around terminals, barriers, and OCR cameras, enabling the highest level of process automation and security. This makes leogistics’ yard management portfolio unique in the market.
As early as 2014, leogistics developed the leogistics Yard Management as a true innovation, filling a significant gap in SAP Supply Chain Management, as only the disciplines of transport management and warehouse management could be represented in logistics until then. Early on, the consulting and software company from Hamburg recognized the need for intelligent solutions for complex plant processes and built extensive cross-industry expertise through numerous projects – from automotive corporations to chemical giants. Today, the leogistics solution is in use at hundreds of large sites and is utilized by renowned companies worldwide due to its depth of detail and adaptability.
leogistics Yard Management: comprehensive solution for all yard types
The leogistics Yard Management is a powerful software that allows customers to fully digitize their plant logistics. A flexible process engine and dynamic rule sets control individual workflows and significantly increase the level of process automation. This not only improves transparency over all plant processes and communication among all process participants but also reduces lead times and costs.
The yard management developed on SAP technology coordinates all activities of transport vehicles inside and outside the plant premises. Standalone or as an add-on, it enables the process mapping from the registration of transport carriers and persons to the allocation of site-specific locations such as parking areas or loading points.
“The uniqueness of the leogistics Yard Management is the control of transport processes across all transport modes,” says André Käber, CEO of leogistics GmbH. Templates are available for different yard types such as truck yards, plant railways, or port areas. Like all SAP add-on solutions from leogistics, the yard management provides deep integration into upstream and downstream SAP systems such as SAP TM and SAP EWM, as well as many non-SAP solutions.
myleo / dsc: intuitive and collaborative process platform for the yard of the future
The myleo / dsc is a digital solution for plant and transport logistics that leogistics has been developing since 2018 in the form of a corporate start-up. As an end-to-end supply chain solution, it connects producers, suppliers, locations, freight forwarders, and branches on a single logistics platform, providing more transparency for all participants in the supply chain through the integration of real-time data, shipment tracking, and collaborative time window management.
Currently, the focus is primarily on yard and delivery control, real-time tracking of transport vehicles on graphical overview maps, and efficient container management. An advantage for both customers and technology and implementation partners is that the platform can be tailored to individual needs as both standalone components and a complete solution. The low-code approach also contributes to this, allowing companies to adapt apps to their processes without needing their own development teams.
In the near future, a transport management component is expected to be added, making myleo / dsc the most efficient yard, transport management, and collaboration platform for all types of industries and companies. Even today, pre-systems such as transport management or warehouse management systems, telematics, or IoT devices can be connected without middleware. Process-supporting hardware such as check-in terminals can be offered by leogistics from a single source.
“Based on our experience with plant logistics projects for companies around the world, we can today provide our customers with a unique portfolio of SAP and cloud software as well as hardware. A hybrid version is also possible, where the basic processes run on SAP, while real-time information and time window management come from the cloud,” says Käber.
