Networking of logistics service providers
SAP and Uber Freight have announced a partnership to modernize the freight industry. The prerequisites for this are to be created through intelligent process automation and better access to a network of reliable drivers.
By integrating Uber Freight into the SAP Logistics Business Network, customers can use Uber's digital freight forwarding network to calculate transportation costs and obtain quotes with guaranteed freight capacities in real time. This significantly simplifies load management and transportation processing.
The SAP Logistics Business Network is based on the SAP Cloud Platform and the SAP Hana data platform and offers extended functions for transportation management. Shippers, freight forwarders, transport companies and other logistics partners can easily collaborate and exchange logistics information and experiences via the network.
The industry-first integration of Uber Freight offers shippers and transportation service providers the opportunity to remove typical barriers by using innovative tools. Shippers have a much wider selection of carriers to choose from.
