Remote Logistics Management (RLM) addresses unique aspects of remote operations, it provides the SAP functionality for supplying and tracking materials from base to remote locations, these types of locations include offshore oil platforms, onshore production, renewables sites, mining, iron ore, petroleum, rail & port operations). Natural resources and engineering organisations require the SAP RLM ERP to supply materials from base locations to remote locations, purchase or rent material, package and un-package materials from containers, manage loading areas, handling returns and repairs.
