Digitalization makes logistics becomes more transparent, especially with the role of mobile technologies enabling us to monitor systems anywhere, anytime. An integrated management model can be established though optimal interaction of processes, such as warehouse logistics, transportation management, tracking and monitoring with the supply chain.

Companies usually utilize the CEP service providers’ software when they carry out logistics activities through various CEP service providers and shipping agents. However, since CEP systems are not integrated, data is often recorded twice or more. SAP’s integrated solutions provides the automation needed for stages from shipment tracking integration, pre-pricing of freight costs to automated printing of service-specific shipping labels. You can integrate all current busines processes from delivery system to shipment notifications using SAP ERP system resulting to better transparency and higher customer satisfaction.

National and international regulations are imposed on companies as commerce and production processes become global. Along with that, there are also numerous routine tasks, such as export declarations and calculation of customs clearing costs that are mostly still managed manually. Compliance with regulations also brings a lot of detailed and complex paperwork. Managing these processes using the conventional methods leads to increased margin of error and costs.

5. Integration with Production

Nowadays, businesses are expected to deliver speed, individualization and innovation. The determining factor here is the logistics process because the products must be rapidly produced and delivered according to individual customer requirements.

It is crucial to monitoring production processes in real time and responding immediately potential risks. 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.
