High, Uncontrolled Freight Costs
Lack of visibility into actual freight spend and inefficient manual tender processes prevent cost savings.
Shipment Inefficiency
Sub-optimal load planning, empty miles, and fragmented carrier management lead to delays and wasted capacity.
Service Failures
Inability to track shipments in real-time or react quickly to disruptions damages customer service levels and erodes trust.
Compliance Risk
Manual documentation and siloed systems make it difficult to adhere to complex customs, trade, and dangerous goods regulations globally.
SAP Transportation Management (TM) is a powerful, integrated platform designed to manage all activities in the physical and financial execution of transportation processes—from order to settlement.
Deployed as a component of SAP S/4HANA (Embedded TM) or decentralised, SAP TM helps your clients centralise planning, optimise resources, and achieve strategic cost reductions across all modes of transport (road, rail, air, and ocean).
| Pillar | Description | Strategic Benefit |
| Freight Cost Management | Automated, rule-based rating and calculation processes, alongside centralised freight contract management. | Cost Savings: Achieve strategic control and reduction in overall freight spending. |
| Optimised Planning & Execution | Advanced planning functionality, including automatic load consolidation, route optimisation, and carrier selection via tenders. | Increased Efficiency: Maximise asset utilisation, reduce empty miles, and speed up throughput. |
| Real-Time Visibility | Integration with tracking providers and IoT devices to provide continuous status updates and exception management across the supply chain. | Customer Satisfaction: Proactively communicate delays and improve on-time delivery performance. |
| Integrated Settlement | Seamless flow of data from transportation execution to financial settlement (Freight Settlement Management) and invoicing. | Faster Cash Flow: Accelerate invoice reconciliation and ensure accurate billing. |
We provide end-to-end consulting services, specialising in the deployment and optimisation of SAP TM to transform your client’s entire logistics and distribution landscape.
| Service Focus | Key Client Benefit | Target Client Challenge |
| SAP TM Readiness & Blueprinting | Designing the optimal SAP TM architecture, processes (e.g., FCL, LCL, Parcel), and master data structure tailored to the client’s global network. | “We need to understand if Embedded SAP TM in S/4HANA is right for us, or if we need a Decentralised setup.” |
| End-to-End Implementation | Full configuration of key SAP TM components: Freight Unit Building, Planning Profiles, Carrier Selection, and Execution Monitoring. | “We need a unified system to manage all our complex road, ocean, and air freight globally.” |
| Freight Settlement & Audit | Streamlining financial processes by automating freight invoice verification and integrating directly with SAP Finance (FI/CO). | “Our freight invoicing process is manual, time-consuming, and prone to errors and overpayment.” |
| Logistics Integration | Seamless integration between SAP TM, SAP EWM (Warehouse Management), and SAP GTS (Global Trade Services) for a connected execution chain. | “Our warehouse and transportation teams are operating in silos, causing fulfilment delays.” |
