Event
Next Generation SAP Logistics.
Navigate the transition from LE-WM or LE-TRA with confidence.
November 12, 2026 | 9am – 11:45am (GMT) | SAP Feltham Office
If you’re running either LE-WM (Warehouse Management) or LE-TRA (Transportation) today, you’re likely aware that its end-of-support horizon is getting closer. That’s not a crisis, but it is something worth planning for thoughtfully, and sooner rather than later.
We’d like to help with that.
On November 12, we’re hosting a gathering at the SAP office in Feltham: a practical, honest look at what the path forward looks like. You’ll hear about SAP Logistics Suite and the capabilities it opens up, including AI-driven use cases that are helping companies run better, smarter operations. Our experts will walk through what migration actually looks like in practice with implementation approaches and lessons learned. We’ll also hear from RS Group about their experience.
The goal is simple: leave with a clearer picture of your options and a realistic sense of what the journey involves.
