In times of increasing globalization, the processes in your supply chain must be optimally controlled and coordinated with each other to ensure long-term competitiveness. Increasingly fast-growing markets require quick and flexible responses, so companies have to evaluate how these complex shipping processes can be mapped close to the SAP standard.
This is why some CEP service providers offer software to automate the service provider-specific shipping processing. However, since these solutions are outside of the SAP system, shipment data is entered twice, and time is lost. Furthermore, when doing business with several CEP service providers, a different software must be connected for each partner.
The consequences? High resource commitment for the maintenance of the resulting system landscapes, lock-in effects and lengthy shipping processes. In addition, the use of the service provider-specific software does not enable integration of shipment tracking, pre-calculation of freight charges, and automated printing of service provider-specific shipping labels out of the SAP system.
A consistent, transparent processing of the entire shipping process is therefore not possible within the SAP system. The development, implementation and maintenance of in-house interfaces between the individual service provider-specific software solutions and SAP is very costly and rarely meets the demands placed on them.
Since the existing IT solutions could not optimally represent the processing of shipping processes, NTT DATA Business Solutions has developed TAMOYA – formerly known as it.x-press.
The integration solution provides the direct electronic connection to your CEP service providers and forwarders. All running business processes are easily and effectively integrated into your SAP system. Delivery statistics, runtimes and many more possibilities for reporting and tracking make your shipping transparent. You can now use the resources you have freed up for your core business and you save both costs and time.
