Adopting digital transformation in logistic sector

Creating, monitoring and managing a network of all actors and activities plays a vital role in the success of the supply chain.

As logistics becomes more transparent through digitalization, mobile technologies allow monitoring of systems anywhere, anytime. With optimal interaction of processes such as warehouse logistics, transportation management, tracking and monitoring with the supply chain, an integrated management model emerges. Rapidly increasing amounts of data can be easily processed and analyzed, making material flow and transportation processes more efficient.

As you carry out logistics activities through various CEP (courier, express and parcel) service providers and shipping agents, you make use of CEP service providers’ software. However, since CEP systems do not operate in integration your data is often recorded twice or more, causing loss of time. SAP’s integrated solutions provide you the automation you need for stages including shipment tracking integration, pre-pricing of freight costs and automated printing of service-specific shipping labels. All current business processes from delivery system to shipment notifications are integrated into your SAP ERP system. The integrated system provides better transparency as well as higher customer satisfaction.

As commerce and production processes become global, more complex and stricter, national and international regulations are imposed on companies. Compliance with regulations also brings complex and detailed paperwork. Routine tasks, such as export declarations and calculation of customs clearance costs, are still mostly managed with conventional methods. But managing these processes manually increases margin of error and costs.

SAP solutions help you to manage foreign trade processes efficiently and compete globally. They enable customs and foreign trade transactions as well as compliance with regulations (such as sanctions lists) and communication with authorities to run seamlessly. This contributes greatly to mitigating your financial risks and benefiting from the advantages of foreign trade.

Speed, individualization and innovation: Today, all businesses are expected to deliver these three conditions. The determining factor here is the logistics process because the products must be rapidly produced and delivered according to individual customer requirements.

Monitoring your production processes in real time and responding immediately to potential risks is crucial. Therefore, logistical conditions should be integrated into the production process. Modern supply chain solutions, production planning, inventory management, warehouse management and logistic processes should be managed with end-to-end integration. Logistic processes integrated into production processes provide a competitive infrastructure that will be able to respond more quickly to fluctuations in demand and new customer orders.
