Transportation Management System (TMS)

Nowadays, markets expand globally and supply chain velocity and complexity increases, we must leverage and optimize our company's transportation management competitively. We must sense changes and react appropriately in real time to network events, while improving visibility and responsiveness.
With the SAP Transportation Management application, we can consolidate orders and optimize shipments across our company to maximize return on transportation costs. We can share information and combine orders directly with carriers and forwarders over the Internet, so can integrate business partners into our company's processes and maintain control of plans.

Transportation management planning capabilities enable your company to:

• Optimize shipments, assign carriers to shipments, and tender shipments to assigned carriers
• Consolidate orders and optimize shipments from a centralized location or distributed business units
• Select carriers, calculate freight costs, settle shipment costs, and print documents
• Use denied-party and embargo lists for international shipping

Transportation management helps to calculate and settle freight costs based on actual shipments and current freight rates, and use this information to verify invoices sent from carriers or from self-billing transportation service providers.
