The challenge: Wrong decisions in SAP TM cost time, money and future viability

The switch to S/4HANA marks the end of the SAP LE-TRA era – by 2030 at the latest. CIOs and logistics managers are under pressure to select a future-proof transport management system. Wrong decisions when choosing a system can lead to long-term cost traps, integration gaps and inefficient processes.
Even well-structured selection processes are jeopardised if decisions are based on incomplete or unvalidated information – with the result that business goals are not achieved or expensive adjustments are necessary.

Compass

Our solution: The SAP TM Strategy Compass provides clarity, certainty and speed for your system decision

The SAP TM Strategy Compass is a structured consulting approach that evaluates SAP TM in the context of your enterprise architecture, functional requirements and business fit. We create clarity in workshops, system analyses and stakeholder consultations:
  • Range of functions & licence options (Basic vs. Advanced)
  • Integration & architecture effort
  • Operating and deployment variants (Cloud, On-Prem, Side-by-Side)
The result: A documented target picture that combines logistics goals and IT architecture – and creates a reliable basis for investment and platform decisions.

Strategic added value through orientation

  • Industry-proven Advisory – creates full transparency regarding the strategic fit, functional scope and licence options of SAP TM and enables well-founded decisions.
  • Holistic TM-to-IT-Impact-Analyse – identifies architecture and integration gaps at an early stage and prevents technical hurdles and inefficiencies.
  • Closing decision gaps – provides a documented target picture that combines logistics objectives and IT architecture and enables fact-based investment decisions.
