SAP Transportation Management frequently asked questions

Discover the answers to our most pressing SAP TM questions with our comprehensive FAQ section

What is SAP Transportation Management?

SAP Transport Management (SAP TM) is an established and proven freight logistics management environment which leverages data from existing SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) solutions or legacy solutions and integrates fully into the SAP traditional enterprise solutions (SAP ECC/S4) HANA platforms.

This enables manufacturer shippers, freight forwarders and 3PL providers to consolidate, plan and cost freight requirements across multiple industries with multiple modes of transport to maximise ROI on transportation spend and human resources deployment.

This unique and integrated transport management solution enhances freight, fleet and logistics management, offering real-time visibility of global and domestic freight operations.

How do I choose the right SAP Transportation Management solution?

SAP provides two transportation management solutions, each with a very different purpose in mind.

SAP Logistics Execution Transportation offers a more affordable ERP-based system that’s fully integrated into your sales and procurement processes, while SAP Transportation Management (TM) includes everything from load building and transport optimisation to tendering, contract and charge management, and powerful embedded analytics.

SAP TM performs equally well as a standalone best-of-breed platform or as an integral part of the SAP Supply Chain Execution landscape. With long-standing expertise, tools and resources, our Rocketeers are ready and waiting to help you choose the right transportation management solution.

What contribution can SAP Transportation Management make to your Environmental, Sustainability and Governance (ESG) strategy?

You have plenty of tools at your disposal to get underway either with your existing SAP ERP Business Suite (SAP ECC) or when moving to S/4HANA or adding SAP Digital Supply Chain solutions such as SAP Transportation Management.

If you would like to start to understand what the challenges are around supply chain sustainability when running an SAP landscape and SAP TM and want to discuss how to achieve better planet, people and performance outcomes, we will be happy to spend time helping you evaluate your landscape to guide you to understand how to find lasting quick wins in supply chain led initiatives.
