TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
As markets expand globally and supply chain velocity and complexity increases, you must leverage and optimize your company's transportation management competitively. You must sense changes and react appropriately in real time to network events, while improving visibility and responsiveness.
With the SAP Transportation Management application, you can consolidate orders and optimize shipments across your company to maximize return on transportation costs. You can share information and combine orders directly with carriers and forwarders over the Internet, so you can integrate business partners into your company's processes and maintain control of plans.
Transportation management planning capabilities enable your company to optimize shipments, assign carriers to shipments, and tender shipments to assigned carriers. You can consolidate orders and optimize shipments from a centralized location or distributed business units. And you can select carriers, calculate freight costs, settle shipment costs, and print documents. For international shipping, you can use denied-party and embargo lists.
Transportation management helps you calculate and settle freight costs based on actual shipments and current freight rates, and use this information to verify invoices sent from carriers or from self-billing transportation service providers.
