“powerful, future ready TMS that rewards data and process design”

4.0
Mar 21, 2026
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.

“Exploring Automation and Integration Opportunities in Commodity Trading Operations”

3.0
Feb 6, 2026
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.

SAP Transportation Management (TM) Likes & Dislikes

Like

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.

Like

Comprehensive customizing and functionalities covering planning, execution, tracking and freight transportation

Like

Using SAP is like having a guide through the whole transportation process. Tracking shipments is done in real time and rates are readjusted based on real time conditions allowing us to give clients the most accurate estimated times of arrival and set good expectations. There are a lot of customization options and different plug-ins you can use with SAP. It has made it easier to connect different aspects of our business and streamline our operating procedures.

Dislike

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.

Dislike

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.

Dislike

The software is difficult to learn and sometimes simple tasks can feel overly complex. When working in SAP there are a lot of additional windows that open up when you are moving through the software and it can leave your computer screen cluttered if you do not know how to sort through it all.
