SAP Transportation Management

SAP Transportation Management

Consolidate orders and maximize the return on your transportation spend – with our transportation management system (TMS). Accurately forecast demand and shipment volumes to fine-tune transportation planning. Enhance freight, fleet, and logistics management. And gain real-time visibility into global and domestic shipping across all transportation modes and industries.

Why SAP Transportation Management?

Because it dramatically reduces transportation complexity – and integrates business and logistics throughout your network. With SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) you can:

  • Use the latest technologies to streamline and integrate your transportation management processes 
  • Provide executable transportation plans that are cost efficient and compliant with customer requirements
  • Consolidate and optimize all shipments – inbound, outbound, domestic, and international
  • Strategically purchase or sell freight capacity with centralized order management
  • Improve transportation logistics to boost on-time deliveries and customer service levels
  • Handle large volumes of transportation and logistics data for state-of-the-art analysis and planning

SAP named a market leader in TMS systems

Learn how SAP Transportation Management can simplify the lives of business users and IT staff:

Functional Capabilities
  • Transportation Capacity and Demand Planning - Analyze carrier performance and historical data for trade lanes to plan for future transportation needs. Collaborate with carriers to negotiate freight contracts and book ocean and air carrier capacity for domestic or international shipments.
  • Transportation Requirements Management - Effectively manage transportation requirements from order entry to final settlement. Integrate order processing with order-to-cash and procure-to-pay processes.
  • Freight Planning and Optimization - Create freight plans for individual units and shipments – and optimize and consolidate them for domestic, international, single, or multimodal transportation scenarios. Schedule the most freight for the least cost while honoring service constraints.
  • Interactive Freight Tendering - Set up multistep, automated, or interactive freight tendering processes, including peer-to-peer and broadcast tendering. The software supports direct tendering of orders and request for proposal-driven tender processes.
  • Freight and Forwarding Settlement - Manage both simple and complex freight agreements and related master data, as well as calculation rules for carriers and customers. Calculate freight costs, revenue, and profits precisely and automatically.
  • Collaboration Portal - The SAP Transportation Management portal for carriers supports collaborative business processes with shippers, including:
    • Freight order management
    • Freight settlement
    • Freight agreement management
    • Dispute management
