Customer

Large European transport company.

CHALLENGE

A European trucking company needed a system to enhance logistics processes, simplify data processing, and provide comprehensive reporting.

SOLUTION

SAP TM meets all the requirements above and contributes to reducing transportation costs, streamlining carrier cooperation, and making logistics operations more transparent. The LeverX project team was responsible for the SAP TM implementation, customization, and integration with third-party solutions to provide unified infrastructure.

Among the key modifications to add into the standard SAP TM product was a module responsible for ferry transportation and developed from scratch.
Our team integrated SAP TM with a product for optimizing a truck finding process.
The customer uses a route optimization solution that defines the detailed routing for a tour. As soon as SAP TM itself lacks this option intended for trucks, we ensured the integration of the products taking into account all particular aspects.
Software for on-board units lets truck drivers get all info, such as the assigned tasks or predefined routes, and track their progress or inform about traffic conditions. This was also the third-party product we integrated with SAP TM in terms of the project.
Constant tracking of a truck provided by the customer’s product was also available. Thanks to the integration of the third-party software and SAP TM, it is now easy to get informed about the truck’s geolocation and key events, including loading/unloading, shipping, or delivery, as they are being reported automatically in real time.
We also involved SAP Event Management, an application that contributes to monitoring and managing events.
