Check out the latest SAP SCM rapid-deployment solution offering, released just now in Q1/2014:





SAP Truck Transportation for Shippers rapid-deployment solution (NEW package)



 

What's in it

This rapid-deployment solution is designed for shippers to manage order consolidation, routing, scheduling, carrier selection, and constraint-handling. It helps to plan, execute, monitor, and settle freight cost for truck transports. The communication to the carrier or freight forwarder is facilitated using Web UI and e-mail. This solution supports the following key processes:

  • Transportation direction: Outbound

(2) Automatic freight order creation for a full truck load, and
(3) Option for interactive planning




  • Upload of customer-specific transportation network with solution builder

  • Freight tendering: Direct tendering for already selected carriers and RFQ-based tendering for carrier selection with multiple-step approach incl. peer-to-peer and broadcast

  • Communication with carriers using the Web UI or e-mail

  • Execution monitoring with standard configuration of the SAP Event Management application

  • Freight charge management, including freight calculation, invoice verification, and cost distribution
