It does what it says in the name -

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for managing transport requests. SAP Transportation Management supports us in keeping an overview of transports moving into production. We use a double-approval process to ensure that each transport undergoes unit and user acceptance testing before going live.

Pros

  • Maintaining an overview of developments moving into production
  • Transports and transports of copies enable refinement to work in progress
  • The configuration within SAP Transportation Management allow us to tailor the transport procedures to the needs of our business

Cons

  • The icons with SAP Transportation Management can be easy to mix up and can cause issue if the wrong buttons are pressed

SAP Transportation Management Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are logistics own asset based FTL company, which needs more efficiency, ,integrated E2E solution, data for decision making, orchestration of order to cash and planning to execution processes.

Pros

  • Order capture and management
  • End to end order flow visibility
  • tailored for shippers

Cons

  • Planning and execution area for carriers is not covered fully. It has scenarious covered, but its mainly manual and not suited for high volumes and loads
  • Intermodal transportation management - absent or inefficient
  • Trailer swap functionality is like 10 steps process, which is highly manually consuming and is not efficient for company operating >5000 trucks and trailers

Return on Investment

  • Current ROI is 8 years which is too much
  • Order capture improvement - gained around 12% efficiency
  • Data quality has increased due to SAP being strict on controls and discipline - meaning we can mane data based decisions way faster.
  • "revenue leakage" has improved by 20% due to discipline and controls.
