Digital logistics solutions
Logistics management software
Gain enhanced visibility into all aspects of your supply chain to build agility and mitigate risk. Synchronize logistics and manufacturing to achieve the operational flexibility and cost-effectiveness required to stay competitive and ensure growth.
Why use logistics management software solutions?
Many manufacturers still lack several crucial components of logistics management: an integrated supply chain strategy, structured collaboration with stakeholders, and processes and systems that are standardized, digitalized, automated and flexible. These gaps limit visibility into their logistics network, making it difficult to operate efficiently, increasing risk of production and supply cost and decreasing customer satisfaction due to delivery delays.
A logistics management solution mitigates these issues by combining logistics planning and execution while integrating all stakeholders in a central collaboration system. This connectivity helps harness the power of data to analyze, simulate, track and optimize logistics networks.
With logistics management software, you can achieve:
Reduction in transport costs
Leverage detailed calculations of cargo space and precise analyses of associated costs to reduce transport costs by up to 13%. (REICHHART Logistik)
Reduction in emissions
Consolidate trips and minimize empty runs to reduce emissions by up to 22%. (REICHHART Logistik)
Increase in capacity utilization
Simulate transport capacities and optimize available vehicle capacities to increase capacity utilization by up to 18%. (REICHHART Logistik)
How do you ensure reliable, flexible, sustainable and cost-effective production supply and delivery amid unpredictable procurement and transport or supplier delivery challenges?
Implement a logistics management solution to connect logistics and manufacturing process design and execution. Optimize operations, proactively manage inbound logistics disruptions and smoothly adjust production orders.

Siemens recognized as a leader for SCCT
A recent study by ABI Research, a leading technology research and advisory firm, has recognized Siemens as a leader in the supply chain control tower (SCCT) market. Our SCCT solution stands out for its comprehensiveness and its ability to provide end-to-end planning, execution and optimization capabilities.
The Supply Chain Suite helped us optimize our transportation efficiencies. One way we did this was to consolidate partial loads from various suppliers into a single full load and integrate the return of empty containers into our rounds. This allowed us to better utilize our capacities and maximize payloads. This is how logistics becomes a data-driven business.

Frequently asked questions
Logistics management software is a holistic supply chain solution which combines logistics planning and execution, while integrating all stakeholders in a central collaboration system. It helps harness the power of data to analyze, simulate, track and optimize logistics networks.
Adopting a logistics management solution is essential to achieving a resilient supply chain as it ensures the flexibility needed to navigate change as successfully as possible.
Our logistics management solutions equip manufacturers with an end-to-end view of their supply chains. More importantly, they enable holistic management of product design, manufacturing execution, production design and logistics to help increase operational efficiency and achieve ambitious sustainability goals. Furthermore, we offer the most comprehensive digital twin that can be used to plan and optimize supply chain networks and processes. Our solutions are available in the cloud to help you implement easily and scale quickly.
If you are distributing goods or materials from several locations to a large number of customers, logistics management software can empower you to transform and get the most out of your outbound supply chain. It can help you achieve:
- Complete visibility of end-to-end outbound logistics flows, replacing disconnected information silos
- Agile transport management with the ability to partially anticipate, adapt and respond to disruptions in real time
- Decreased costs through transport consolidations and enhanced process efficiencies
- Reduced maintenance effort by establishing standard methods of data exchange
- Increased reliability of intra-plant processes with accurate goods or materials availability
Supply chain transparency and insights are vital in helping manufacturers improve decision making and react quickly to delivery disruptions and supply shortages. But many supply chains lack this transparency and dynamism. Our logistics management software provides transparency and collaboration across the entire supply chain. It acts as a single source of truth and helps you establish footprint transparency by integrating all relevant data sources into a uniform dataset, providing you with the foundation for a detailed analysis of relevant cost and performance drivers, and more.
Our logistics management solutions are open and interoperable, integrating seamlessly with systems such as manufacturing execution system, product lifecycle management, enterprise resource planning, transportation management system and other relevant systems. This integration is crucial in helping you optimize logistics resources and achieve both cost-effectiveness and sustainability.
Our logistics management solutions help accelerate your digital transformation by enabling you to automate your processes and create a seamless flow of information. This approach enhances visibility into supply chain operations, using data to optimize resources and ultimately achieve greater customer satisfaction by ensuring timely deliveries. By accelerating your digital transformation and leveraging the most comprehensive digital twin and a digital thread approach, you can run a reliable, flexible, sustainable and cost-effective supply chain.
