ORTEC Load Building and Routing Planning for SAP®
SAP solutions are the preferred enterprise planning choice of many companies, but there are often gaps in covering specific logistics requirements for manufacturing. Are you struggling with inaccurate order or delivery-level estimates to determine your “real” shipment size, such as loading length or floor spots? Looking to optimize loads for trucks, trailers, and containers? Want to move beyond static routes to dynamic vehicle route scheduling, adapting to daily changes in the most efficient way? ORTEC can fill the gaps in your shipping and transportation functionality with our certified SAP® ECC or SAP S/4HANA® solutions. We provide real-time support for load optimization and route scheduling, seamlessly embedded into your SAP environment.
