SAP TM - Transportation Management Software

SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) is a standard SAP software from the SAP SCM solution portfolio. SAP TM is used for the management, billing, control and execution of transportation services.

SAP TM covers the management, control and optimization of all transportation processes along the supply chain. It ensures that the optimum logistics service provider is selected for each shipment in terms of price and performance, thus achieving the highest possible delivery reliability.

SAP TM can be used for both inbound processes (procurement, goods delivery) and outbound processes (distribution). Furthermore, special billing modes such as the credit memo procedure are made possible. Software-supported optimization with SAP TM makes transport management much easier and business and logistics processes are integrated and synchronized with the entire logistics network.

For example, transportation plans can be created that are cost-effective and meet customer expectations. Furthermore, transports can be consolidated and optimized (inbound, outbound, national, international transports). And finally, profitability potentials can be tapped and freight costs massively reduced, e.g. through strategic purchasing of freight capacities or optimal service provider selection based on various criteria.

SAP offers you a wide range of options for efficiently supporting transportation processes. SAP provides SAP Transportation Management via the SAP ERP (SAP Enterprise Resource Planning) options of LE-TRA.

By using SAP TM, you can efficiently support the improvement and automation of all transportation-relevant processes, e.g. freight cost accounting or transportation planning and tendering. With the integration to SAP EWM (SAP Extended Warehouse Management), the improvement already takes place in your warehouse. External transportation management systems are completely eliminated. Interfaces, dependencies and costs are significantly reduced.

IGZ enables efficient transportation processes with the optimal combination of SAP TM and SAP EWM.

With a sophisticated software solution in transport processing, processes can be standardized and savings potential in the single to double-digit percentage range can be tapped. In quantitative terms, freight costs can be reduced while at the same time increasing the transparency of carrier services. This enables you to select the "best-price" carrier and also puts you in a better negotiating position when renegotiating carrier contracts.
