SAP TM 8.0 Solution
Today, companies are generally facing the pressure to reduce costs and improve customer service company-wide. However, the general trend of rising oil prices, transportation volumes and product/service customization lead to an increase in transportation costs. Averaging more than 6% of total revenue, transportation costs are a significant expense for most product-centric organizations. Conservative estimates for costs savings after a TMS implementation call for 5-10% savings of initial transportation costs resulting in significant bottom-line savings for a company.
SAP Transportation Management 8.0 provides a world-class TMS platform delivered by the world’s leading enterprise software vendor. Designed as a true end-to-end solution SAP TM 8.0 covers the most critical transportation processes – starting at Order Management, Planning & Optimization, Transportation Execution, Freight Cost Management, Carrier Collaboration, International Shipping and Booking, Export Management, Tracking and Tracing and Dangerous Goods Handling.
Differentiating from competitive products SAP installed base customers can profit tremendously from native integration to order management processes to SAP ERP backend systems, being it sales order, purchase order, stock transfer order, returns or delivery based processes. Experience shows that building up this integration to 3rd party TMS tools can run into the millions of dollars, not taking into account the maintenance and upgrade aspects that these custom implementations will cause in the future.
