SAP Transportation Management (TM) Likes & Dislikes
1. End-to-end planning cockpit: one screen to rate shop, build loads, optimize routes and tender to carrier in minutes instead of juggling spreadsheets. 2. Native S/4HANA integration: Freight costs flow straight into the order and finance modules no more manual accruals at month-end 3. Powerful optimization engine: We routinely run 3000 shipments per night, the algorithm squeezes in multi-stop milk-runs we never saw before.
Comprehensive customizing and functionalities covering planning, execution, tracking and freight transportation
The ability to create BI reports for MFG and W&D. Searching safety stock globally assists with our current transportation needs. Processing W&D transfers is simple and quick.
1. Steep data requirement: Dirty location or equipment masters cripple the optimizer cleansing is a must do project of its own. 2. User interface inconsistency: the Fiori apps look modern, but power users still need the old school GUI for some functions. 3. Limited out-of-box analytics: basic freight KPI's are there, yet you need embedded SAC or BW for deeper lane and carrier scorecards.
Being on a Trading company which operates with large transaction volumes, we saw potential risks on system performance. Most likely these may be mitigated if properly implemented in a Productive environment.
The UI could be more user friendly and less cluttered. When some processes break it can take a while to correct them delaying our shipments. There is a steep learning curve for this product, once the system is understood its great but there is a large learning curve.

powerful, future ready TMS that rewards data and process design
We replaced a 15- year-old in-house TMS with SAP TM two years ago to run our mixed fleet and 3PL network across North America and Europe. Once we stabilized master data and got planners trained on the new cockpit, our on-time-delivery KPI climbed from 92% to 97% and we shaved roughly 6% off annual freight spend thanks to better consolidation and real-time cost visibility. The learning curve and integration work were not small, but today the system is a reliable backbone for order-to-delivery. - Sap Fullstack Integration Developer10B+ USDFinance (non-banking)Review Source
Exploring Automation and Integration Opportunities in Commodity Trading Operations
To complement/replace our existing non-SAP Commodity Trading systems, we did a PoC at our company on this SAP Module and overall we saw opportunity for Automations and Scalability (e.g. Freight Order creation and Shipment Planning). Module is well integrated with the others we already have in place. - SUPPLY CHAIN ASSOCIATE1B-10B USDConsumer GoodsReview Source

A powerful and flexible transportation management solution that delivers strong results, but requires planning, expertise, and training to maximize value
We utilized this vendor when we landed a contract with another company. It has strong planning and optimization capabilities. - MATERIAL COMPLIANCE SPECIALIST1B-10B USDEnergy and UtilitiesReview Source
Freight Order Features Shine While Setup and Reporting Remain Challenging
SAP TM has been a mixed review for us, mostly positive but with a few lags with that, it's good but no doubt, once it is properly set up, it can really streamline logistics and transportation planning.
