So, how fast the global logistics industry is growing? Deloitte reports that by the year 2024, global freight volume is forecast to surge from 54.69 billion tons (2015) to 92.1 billion tons. It’s almost twice as much in just a decade. As promising as this tremendous boom is, it is incredibly complex to efficiently plan, execute, and manage transport operations, especially when businesses need real-time reporting capabilities for better decision-making. It becomes equally important to optimize supply chain processes, control costs, and deliver goods to customers on time.
Whether it is the challenge of demand fluctuation, the complex marketplace, or increasingly changing customer demands, SAP Transportation Management is designed to swiftly respond to disruptions in the supply chain.
The ability to quickly spot bottlenecks, and deliver cost-effective, transparent, and comprehensive transportation management solutions elevate SAP Transportation Management above any other supply chain solution. SAP TMS is a key interface that provides freight forwarders with an efficient platform to successfully manage fast-growing transport volumes, tender transportation operations, and handle transportation charges.
Consolidate orders
Shipment costs are posing a real challenge to businesses. In order to avoid the hassle of dispatching goods individually, and the costs associated with that, companies try to find better solutions. SAP Transport Management makes it easier to pack resources, put goods together and send them out together to reach customers easily and quickly.
By achieving this, the SAP Transport Management solution empowers businesses to gain higher sales volumes and track consolidated orders.
