SAP solutions support the complete transportation management lifecycle for both domestic and international freight through the planning, execution and settlement processes. These solutions also allow companies to manage their end-to-end logistics and order fulfillment processes with complete visibility, improved compliance and flexibility while maximizing available resources and decreasing logistics costs. With the latest versions of SAP® Transportation Management (SAP TM), all applications of logistics and order fulfillment are now optimized to take advantage of the benefits of theSAP HANA® platform and also support new SAP HANA Live content and SAP Smart Business cockpit.
