Seamless logistics in the SAP sales process: Why 3PL integration is crucial now
PEP lists are increasingly becoming the focus of regulatory authorities, and not just in the financial sector. PEP checks are also becoming increasingly important for SAP user companies with international business relationships or public sector clients. But what does this mean in concrete terms for compliance processes? And how can such audit obligations be efficiently integrated into SAP systems?
May we introduce? M.SmartLogistics Multi Carrier Sphere.
More and more companies are preparing for the migration to SAP S/4HANA and are planning their roadmap until 2027 - because from then on, SAP ERP will only be maintained to a limited extent. The focus is also shifting to outbound logistics, as support for the LE-TRA module (Logistics Execution - Transportation) has been discontinued. The logical successor: SAP Transportation Management (TM). SAP TM under S/4HANA impresses with its seamless integration and comprehensive range of functions, which offers companies with their own fleets in particular new opportunities to organise their transport processes more efficiently.
ESG reporting in transport logistics - with EmissionTrack for M.SmartLogistics
It could hardly be clearer: This year's DSAG Annual Congress (15 - 17 October 2024 in Leipzig) has a special focus on reporting on sustainable corporate practices.

This focus underlines an important development in corporate management: sustainability is increasingly becoming a hard fact that needs to be reported and organised using figures. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting has now clearly become an issue that companies need to take seriously.

Qualified loading: The advantages of an SAP-integrated solution
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.
