Reference Story: Cosnova integrates CEP service providers in SAP
Goals:
Cosnova was looking for an efficient solution for the dispatch of dangerous goods, even in small quantities, with integrated shipment tracking.
Highlights:
- Sending small quantities efficiently as dangerous goods
- Stabilization of the interface to the CEPs
- Monitoring of Track&Trace data in the SAP system
"The changeover was a complete success and went unusually smoothly. Only the communication with a CEP service provider was difficult. Here, the CEP department and CEP IT had different requirements for labelling. Thankfully, Mercoline took over this coordination."
Regina Kaune, Head of IT Business Process, cosnova
