So far, our batch of artisanal ice cream has been planned in SAP IBP, manufactured on the shop floor in SAP Digital Manufacturing, and picked, packed, and staged in SAP EWM. Now comes a critical inflection point where many supply chains experience invisible delays and costly temperature breaches: the yard.
In this session, we explore how SAP Yard Logistics (SAP YL) serves as the central orchestrator between warehouse gates and the open road. We will walk through how a refrigerated truck arrives on site, is automatically routed to the correct dock door, loads temperature-sensitive ice cream with precise timing, and is prepared for a seamless handover to SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) – ensuring product quality remains uncompromised from the loading dock to distribution.
This webinar will be conducted in Romanian.

Key takeaways.
- End-to-End Visibility at the Gate: Understand how SAP YL tracks truck check-ins, trailer condition logs, and driver appointments in real time to eliminate gate bottlenecks.
- Cold-Chain Continuity: Learn how time-sensitive loading constraints and dock scheduling in SAP YL prevent ice cream from sitting in unconditioned yard zones.
- Native SAP Ecosystem Integration: See how SAP YL automatically syncs status updates with SAP EWM (warehouse staging) and SAP TM (freight scheduling) to create a single source of truth across movements.
- Automated Yard Task Management: Discover how digital task creation and driver mobile apps direct yard switchers efficiently, cutting turnaround times and idle emissions.
