SAP Business Network for Logistics
The functionalities for logistics collaborations offered by the B2B collaboration platform SAP Business Network for Logistics transforms the linear supply chain into a collaborative logistics network.
Collaboration for Logistics
The cloud-based SAP Business Network provides comprehensive possibilities for B2B collaboration. In terms of logistics, it enables an automated information exchange with, for example, freight forwarders and service providers for loading, etc., facilitating easy and transparent interaction. As a result, your customers benefit from seamless end-to-end processing.
The range of functions included in the SAP Business Network is designed to cover all business processes. However, SAP follows a specific roadmap for each business field — so sometimes you may find it specified as SAP Business Network for Logistics. Furthermore, the functionalities are available as modular solution components, allowing you to tailor SAP Business Network to your particular requirements. These components are divided into functional groups, including Logistics Collaboration, which is our primary focus at prismat.
Logistics Collaboration – Examples
Freight Collaboration enables the creation of freight tenders and comparison of quotations, allowing the commissioning of carriers, including subcontracting. Document exchange and time-slot booking are carried out via web access for freight forwarders. In addition, the tracking of road and sea transportation is possible through connected visibility partners.
This solution provides you with transparency throughout the entire transportation processing: You can monitor the real-time progress of shipments and set up alerts for advanced process control (triggering automated follow-up transactions based on pre-defined rules). You can also customize track-and-trace events that are of particular interest to your operations or to the communication with your customers.
Intelligent Insights offers additional analytics functionalities. All data collected and processed in SAP Business Network can then be graphically displayed and analyzed.
