Background
•
As mentioned Supply Chain Execution was the best entry point for a long
-
term cooperation
–
hence the integration of Descartes GLN
•
Today’s supply chains are interconnected and in many ways the
availability of shipment information is not much less important than the
physical movement of the goods
•
Both on the shipper and LSP side there are systems depending on
execution status information to trigger the next step
•
However, in a highly diversified and a fragmented subcontractor
landscape this information proves hard to come by
•
Speed of onboarding & data exchange with new customers is critical
•
Now there is an option right out of the box for SAP users
–
use the
infrastructure and intelligence of one of the leading business networks for
supply chain execution

Descartes and SAP Information Interchange
-
Value
Proposition
•
Why should you spend the time and money to integrate with each
individual business partner if there is a better way?
•
SAP and Descartes provide that through our partnership because SAP
and Descartes customers can now share mission
-
critical information
easily using SAP II technology
–
no need for SAP
users
to change
anything (e.g. Transportation & Event Management)
•
Descartes and SAP II also support feeds from non
-
SAP systems which
will really make the offering attractive for mixed SAP/OEM offerings
•
SAP has the muscle to extend execution and status management to
mobile devices and HANA In
-
Memory
-
Technology to make network
-
relevant system decisions at a blink of on eye and communicate to end
users just as quickly.
