Networking Among Logistics Service Providers
SAP and Uber Freight announced that they intend to drive the modernization of the freight industry through a partnership. They plan to lay the groundwork for this through intelligent process automation and improved access to a network of reliable drivers.
By integrating Uber Freight into the SAP Logistics Business Network, customers can use Uber’s digital freight network to calculate transportation costs and obtain real-time quotes with guaranteed freight capacity. This significantly simplifies load management and transportation processing.
The SAP Logistics Business Network is based on the SAP Cloud Platform and the SAP HANA data platform and offers advanced transportation management capabilities. Shippers, freight forwarders, carriers, and other logistics partners can easily collaborate through the network and exchange logistics information and insights.
The industry's first integration of Uber Freight offers shippers and transportation service providers the opportunity to overcome common obstacles through the use of innovative tools. Shippers now have access to a much wider selection of carriers.
