OVERVIEW
Freight forwarders, transport companies and warehouse operators earn money job by job. Each shipment has its own charges, costs from carriers and agents, and disbursements paid on behalf of customers. Without one system, it is easy to miss a charge or lose sight of a job's profit.
SAP Business One links each job's revenue and costs. Using project codes or logistics add-ons, carrier costs, agent invoices and disbursements are recorded against the job, billed to the customer and reported as profit by job, customer and route, in multiple currencies.
Because Business One is a single system, logistics companies get one version of the truth: sales, purchasing, stock and finance are always in step, and reports come from live data rather than spreadsheets assembled at month end. Managers can see margins, stock and cash without waiting for someone to prepare them.
Webtel implements SAP Business One with a practical, phased approach. We start with the processes that matter most, use standard features wherever possible and add industry add-ons only where they clearly pay back. Your key users are involved from the first workshop, so the system fits how your team actually works.
