Hi,

LOGISTICS

Logistics management is that part of the supply chain which plans, implements and controls the efficient, effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customers' requirements. A professional working in the field of logistics management is called a logistician.

SOLUTION MANAGER

SAP Solution Manager as the name suggests is for managing the whole gamut of SAP and Non-SAP solutions in the IT Landscape of an organisation. It provides you the tool, content and gateway to create, operate, manage and monitor your solutions over time.

It provides a range of scenarios to support this. Extending from project management to Solution Monitoring to Service Desk to E-learning Management, it provides an efficient way to carry out a plethora of business tasks.

SAP Solution Manager is the successor to ASAP ValueSAP. SAP Solution Manager helps in implementing and managing complex system landscapes. Globally systems are getting distributed across geographies and business processes cover more than one system. In such complex scenarios, integrating technical and business requirements is important for the success of IT.

Hi!

Logistics is the management of the flow of goods, information and other resources, including energy and people, between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet the requirements of consumers (frequently, and originally, military organizations). Logistics involve the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material-handling, and packaging.
