Your challenge
Does this sound familiar? Your SAP® system is the heart of your logistics, yet the actual shipping process takes place in countless external tools. Manual data transfers, a lack of shipment transparency, and the constant effort required to maintain freight forwarder interfaces waste valuable time and cause errors. Complying with complex customs and export regulations becomes a daily challenge and slows down your supply chain. Imagine being able to manage all of this with a single, centralized cockpit directly within your familiar SAP® environment, including editable, complex forms.
Our solution: The 24-LOG shipping cockpit combined with the power of the AEB Carrier Cloud for SAP®
As specialists in deeply integrated SAP® logistics solutions, we at 24-LOG have developed the Shipping Cockpit – your central control instrument for all shipping activities. Combined with the market-leading AEB plugins for SAP®, we transform your shipping into a seamless, highly automated, and legally compliant process.
Your advantages at a glance:
1. Maximum efficiency through central control:
One cockpit for everything: Manage and monitor all deliveries, packages and shipments as well as forms in a single, intuitive interface directly in SAP © (ECC or S/4HANA).
Say goodbye to media breaks: Automate the creation of shipping orders and editable freight documents directly from SAP® documents (e.g., delivery, shipment). No more manual duplicate entry, including automatic archiving.
2. Seamless integration of the global transport network:
Multi-carrier shipping at the touch of a button: Thanks to AEB integration, you have access to over 300 CEP services and freight forwarders. The system suggests the most cost-effective service provider with all delivery times, automatically prints the correct label, and transmits all data electronically (EDI).
Always up-to-date, zero effort: AEB centrally manages all interfaces and label specifications of the transport service providers. You never have to worry about updates again.
3. Automated customs and export processing:
Global Trade Compliance integrated: Automate the creation of export declarations and compliance with export control regulations directly in the shipping process.
Integrated sanctions list screening: Automatically and audit-proofly screen business partners without leaving your SAP® system. Avoid costly compliance violations.
4. 100% Digital:
Easily create complex forms: All forms (CMR, certificate of origin, dangerous goods, etc.) are editable.
Automatic archiving: All forms can be automatically archived upon request. Paper filing is a thing of the past.
5. 100% transparency and proactive service:
Seamless track & trace: Track the shipment status in real time directly in the SAP® document. Your sales and customer service teams have immediate access to information.
Automatic status updates: Receive feedback such as confirmation of receipt automatically in your system and accelerate downstream processes (e.g. invoicing).
5. Future-proof and SAP S/4HANA ready:
Seamless integration: Our solution integrates seamlessly into the SAP® standard (“Clean Core” approach). This ensures easy updates and a trouble-free migration to S/4HANA.
Expertise from a single source: You benefit from the process and SAP® expertise of 24-LOG and the technological depth of the AEB software – perfectly coordinated.
For whom is this solution ideal?
The 24-LOG shipping cockpit with AEB plugins is the perfect solution for all manufacturing companies that:
Map your logistics processes primarily in SAP®.
Have a high or growing shipping volume.
They have to ship nationally and internationally and handle customs formalities.
They want to increase their process efficiency and eliminate manual sources of error.
Aim for a future-proof IT architecture as part of their S/4HANA strategy.
What does the 24-LOG shipping cockpit do?
All processes in shipping, from international trade to selecting the best CEP service provider with complex forms, can be mapped simply, efficiently and digitally.
How does the cockpit reduce the workload for our IT department?
Through the "Software as a Service" (SaaS) principle. The logic for routing, label printing, and EDI data formats resides in the AEB Carrier Cloud. Your IT department is relieved of the ongoing maintenance and updating of carrier specifications. Updates are performed centrally in the cloud, eliminating the need for complex SAP® transport orders or release upgrades.
Why should I integrate shipping directly into SAP® instead of using the carriers' portals?
The greatest added value lies in the avoidance of system breaks. When employees no longer have to switch between SAP® and external portals (such as DHL, UPS, or shipping company websites), you save valuable time per package. Furthermore, you eliminate data entry errors, as address data no longer needs to be manually typed in. The process remains 100% within the leading system (SAP®).
Can I save on shipping costs with the shipping cockpit?
Yes, through transparency and carrier selection. Depending on the configuration, the system can automatically determine the cheapest or fastest service provider for a specific shipment (Best Carrier Selection), or it can display all available options to the employee. Furthermore, you avoid penalties or additional charges due to incorrect address data or inadequate labels, as these are validated via the cloud.
What advantage does the “AEB Carrier Cloud” offer compared to in-house developed interfaces?
You gain investment security and flexibility. Instead of laboriously programming and maintaining a separate SAP® interface for each new service provider, you use a standardized connection to the AEB Cloud. AEB handles the connection of over 200 carriers in the background. This means that if a freight forwarder changes its label format, you don't have to adjust your SAP® system – the cloud takes care of that for you.
How does this solution improve our customer service?
Real-time transparency directly within SAP®. As soon as the label is printed, tracking IDs and status messages are automatically fed back into the SAP® document. Your customer service team can provide shipment information without having to call the warehouse or search external websites. Tracking links can also be automatically sent to customers via email from SAP®.
