It helps us to gain visibility into the freight order life cycle to better manage appointments, share insights, digitally manage transactions and optimise logistic processes
Good performance from SAP as key deployment partner; collaboration and deployment with additional business partner for data provision and business partner onboarding was rather difficult, slowing down the project progress and overall success perception
In a few words, the interface at SAP Business Network has been generally helpful to me. This interface is simple, and I found it easier to coordinate many actions on a single site. The analytics features are the most beneficial, and it is easy to tell whether a campaign is effective.
