For most companies in manufacturing, logistics costs create a considerable impact on profitability. A smooth-running shipping operation is key to improve margins. SAP is a powerful ERP, but you might be finding that it doesn't fully cover your needs for logistics and load optimization.
Are you struggling with inaccurate order or delivery-level estimates to determine your “real” cargo size, such as loading length or floor spots? Looking to optimize loads for trucks, trailers, and containers? Wanting to move beyond static routes to dynamic vehicle route scheduling, adapting to daily changes in the most efficient way? Failing to meet your unique logistics planning needs with the shipping and transportation functionality provided by your SAP solution?
You need strong, integrated planning solutions capable of managing your entire supply chain. Read on to uncover the benefits of using ORTEC with your SAP® ERP to fill the gaps, providing fully-integrated support for 3D load optimization and route scheduling.
