The Challenge

Simplifying Multi-Carrier Shipping Operations

The organization managed parcel and LTL/TL shipments through SAP but required a more efficient way to select carriers, calculate freight costs, and manage shipping documents. Manual shipping activities and disconnected processes made it difficult to optimize transportation costs, improve shipment visibility, and maintain consistent shipping operations across multiple transportation methods.

Manual Carrier Selection

Selecting carriers manually increased processing time and limited opportunities to choose the most efficient shipping option.

Limited Shipment Visibility

Tracking shipments across multiple transportation modes and carriers required multiple systems, which reduced operational visibility.

Disconnected Freight Processing

Freight charges, shipping documents, and delivery updates required additional processing before they could be reflected in SAP.

Complex Shipping Workflows

Managing parcel and LTL/TL shipments through separate processes created additional operational effort and reduced process consistency.
