One for all, all for one!
Industrial companies don’t as a rule only use the services of one forwarder to transport their goods, they normally have a long list of potential suppliers integrated into their value chain. This often means that a wide variety of different concepts and systems for data transfer are used. The best solution from the perspective of industrial companies is of course an efficient commissioning of logistics services providers that is integrated into their business processes. To enable a company like the leading tyre manufacturer Continental to link up its external transport providers to the in-house SAP system and automatically distribute transport orders, EURO-LOG was engaged as a specialist for data integration. In order to avoid having a large number of interfaces from the various forwarder commissioning systems and eliminate the administrative complexity and high error rate due to manual processing steps, an intelligent platform solution was conceived for communication between all parties – data interpreter included.back to overview
