Core transportation and logistics operations will be managed on the network, allowing inter-company collaboration, resulting in cost reductions, improved billing accuracy, enhanced shipment visibility and automated shipping operations.
SAP Transportation Management supports all of Panalpina’s modes of transport and includes core processes that improve collaboration and enable real-time shipment notification. In addition, Panalpina can now more readily position its service offerings to customers working with SAP systems and use the simplified integration to its SAP-based business network as a competitive differentiator.
Shared Monika Ribar, CEO, Panalpina, “The majority of our own customers and partners are already on SAP, which greatly improves standardisation and communication between our systems. New application extensions can be quickly added to the system when needed and non-SAP systems can also be tied in easily. With SAP Transportation Management, Panalpina now has a business network that can promote growth over the next 5-10 years.”
Added Till Dengel, vice president and head, industry business unit, travel and logistics services, SAP AG, “The industry has become increasingly complex. With ongoing global expansion and intricate multi-customer relationships, business networks have lagged because technology couldn’t deliver. SAP Transportation Management fills that technology gap, empowering logistics service providers with a comprehensive toolset for navigating this new landscape.” |
