Optimize Your Supply Chain with SAP Transportation Management

 

What is SAP Transportation Management (TM)?

 

SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) is a powerful software solution designed to optimize and streamline logistics operations for businesses of all sizes. As a key component of SAP’s supply chain management suite, SAP TM provides comprehensive tools for planning, executing, and monitoring the movement of goods across global supply chains.

 

Real-time visibility

Thanks to its real-time reporting tools (such as GTT – Global Track and Trace) you can keep an eye on your freight and make changes on an ongoing basis whenever appropriate.

Improved transportation planning

Plan, schedule, and monitor each step of your freight’s journey with the so-called transportation cockpit to determine the most cost and time-efficient ways of transporting freight.

Enhanced collaboration

Build and improve collaboration between different departments and stakeholders, including logistics providers, carriers, and customers, which helps to ensure you outperform your competition using this sophisticated freight management software.

Implementation of SAP TM

Implementation of TM module in the SAP system environment can be challenging for customers. Often business processes are not completely known, many aspects of a company’s lifecycle need to be improved. It also happens that there are improvement points identified in the company’s structure that were never adjusted because of lack of time or complexity of these changes.

 

An implementation process gives the possibility not only to implement a system based on already up-and-running processes but also gives the possibility to improve the workflow and achieve even better results.

 

Because the complexity mentioned earlier may be on a high level, VESLOG recommends module implementation based on SAP Activate methodology. This is divided into the following phases:

Benefits of SAP TM Implementation

Plan transportation holistically

SAP TM provides tools for optimizing the whole transportation process. From planning routes and schedules to executing the most efficient and cost-effective shipments with the help of transportation cockpit and optimizer embedded in the solution.

Automate logistics processes

SAP TM automates many of the manual processes, such as route planning, helping your business to streamline operations and reduce the risk of errors.

Integrate with other systems/modules

SAP TM can be integrated with other modules such as SAP EWM, MM, or SD and also with non-SAP systems (e.g. ERP, SCM, CRM). It enables the exchange of data between them to help you create the most efficient logistics processes.

Increase productivity

Overall, SAP TM helps improve your company’s productivity by giving room for even more capacity when it comes to logistic processes. It improves planning, optimizes goods flow, and automates processes.

Optimize material and goods flow

SAP TM will help you identify obstacles and possible delays up front in the goods flow and make corrections to improve the process efficiency.
