Join us in this webinar with experts from Westernacher and SAP to dive into supply chain execution. We will cover the benefits of a fully connected supply chain with real-time communication and see a one-of-a-kind demonstration of what a full end-to-end process looks like when your supply chain is truly linked. We will be covering an outbound process that considers transportation management, extended warehouse management, yard logistics, and the SAP business network. Westernacher is the only partner (so far) to implement an end-to-end supply chain execution solution like this for a customer and is uniquely positioned to discuss the benefits and initial challenges with a process overhaul.
You will see functionalities such as advanced shipping & receiving, automatic document generation, real-time tendering & updates from carriers, dock appointment scheduling & management, advanced yard check-in applications, and an easy-to-use RF user interface, just to name a few. After the demonstration, we will have a panel discussion with our experts and take questions from the audience.
