Qualified loading: The advantages of an SAP-integrated solution

In outbound logistics, qualified loading is the starting point for the success of the entire delivery process. Incorrect loading can lead to late, incorrect or missing deliveries, which has a negative impact on customer satisfaction and operational logistics costs. If your shipping volume is high and different transport service providers are used, it is particularly important to control the loading process. 

SAP-integrated loading control helps to realise qualified loading without system and media discontinuity. How can it be implemented? 

Problems in the loading process

Loading can quickly become confusing with a certain shipping volume: Were all related packages handed over? Was the consignment complete? Or was the package already ready to be loaded and handed over to the transport service provider? 

Incorrect loading leads to delays, incorrect or missing deliveries - and thus to avoidable costs and avoidable dissatisfaction in the logistics team and among your customers. 

Missing or inaccurate data is always the problem: uncertainties about the loading status of individual packages make traceability and transparency in the logistics process more difficult. The challenge is to harmonise the shipment data of the shipping logistics solution used with the loading process. 

Qualified loading - just a scan away

With these problems in mind and the will to solve them, Mercoline has developed LoadMaster: a Fiori add-on for SAP S/4HANA and SAP ERP that offers a comprehensive solution for qualified loading. The solution is fully integrated into your SAP system and therefore also utilises the available shipment data from the M.TransportCommunicator shipping logistics solution. 

LoadMaster addresses the problems that can arise in the loading process: 

  • Manage your loading lists - whether created automatically or manually. Assign shipments to a loading list for loading - with just one barcode scan! 
  • Ensure that shipments are loaded completely - related packages are clearly displayed and can only be loaded together
  • Search through your open shipments and loading lists and make sure you don't forget anything
  • Bring order to the process with digital confirmation and archiving: loading is confirmed by digital signatures, e.g. on a tablet, which enables seamless documentation
  • All data is immediately synchronised: The status of the consignments and packages in the app corresponds exactly to the data you see in the M.TransportCommunicator desktop app
  • Flexible use: The SAP Fiori app allows all processes to be carried out flexibly and on the move 
  • Electronic transmission: The consignments to be loaded are transmitted electronically to the transport service providers and the printout of the loading list is controlled directly from the app

Improve your loading process

If your shipping volume is high and you use several transport service providers, this has an impact on your loading process: It becomes more time-consuming and error-prone. Take the opportunity to make loading control work in your favour - with the fully integrated SAP LoadMaster add-on. This not only contributes to your customers' satisfaction, but is also an important step towards a digitalised and seamless logistics process.
