Overview
Standardize transportation planning with UN/LOCODES
The United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations (UN/LOCODE) is an international standard, developed, maintained and managed by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) as a flag-ship deliverable, to identify locations uniquely and unambiguously. Using UN/LOCODE as locations for transportation planning will standardize customer’s transportation process and hence aid in easy integration with 3rd party logistics solutions.
Improve productivity by significantly reducing maintenance time
Business users tasked with maintaining UN/LOCODE as a location in SAP S/4HANA must manually obtain all the details about the location and then create the location. Considering this is an ongoing maintenance task due to the ever-changing supply chain, the creation time could add up over a period. This bot will significantly reduce maintenance time.
Improve data accuracy
As this bot uses our proprietary REST API to directly retrieve relevant location details as provided by the United Nations, the data used to creation location is accurate and not prone to manual maintenance errors
