From static routes to dynamic route scheduling for SAP

ORTEC Route Scheduling software for SAP improves your daily transportation planning in SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA with dynamic vehicle route scheduling. It helps you reduce your mileage while considering all relevant transportation constraints.

SAP logistics route planning – Quite a big puzzle

Every day, companies need to decide how to deliver and collect goods in the most efficient way, using freight forwarders or their own fleet. How do you assign and sequence orders into routes in such a way that all resources are used in the best way, without violating constraints, and at the lowest possible cost?

Many companies manage daily transportation planning by using static route plans, but here cost-efficiency depends heavily on regular order patterns.

What if your planner could be more proactive and create dynamic route plans for changing situations?
