Larissa Lemke's review of SAP Transportation Management
Bottom line: pricey up front, but it paid for itself in under a year for us. I’ve run a 50-truck fleet in the Northeast for 18 years and the one thing that made me happiest was the load-matching optimizer - pulling partials together cut our deadhead roughly 18% and fuel costs dropped fast. Expect sticker shock on implementation and consulting fees; the monthly license isn’t cheap either, and it took a few weeks of tuning before routes stabilized. Still, when I ran the numbers against reduced overtime and fewer empty miles the ROI was obvious. If your operation can absorb the initial cost spike, this will put real dollars back on the bottom line.
