Shortfacts - September 2017


Transportation and shipping planning
At several locations, Hörmann, Europe's leading manufacturer of doors, frames and operators, is using a new SAP-based solution to improve the handling of its transport and shipping activities, SAP LE-TRA. The transport management solution implemented by logistics software specialist Inconso was rolled out at a total of three plants, including functional enhancements. Since the first quarter of 2017, this has enabled up to 1,600 tours with over 15,000 deliveries to be efficiently planned and processed each month. The first site, Brandis near Leipzig, was equipped with SAP-based Inconso add-ons in order to be able to rely on fully SAP-integrated goods planning in the future. Transparency in the mapping of all transport activities from planning to invoicing has been significantly increased with the introduction of the system. In addition, thanks to the new software landscape, the SAP LE-TRA linked software components and the external warehouse management system work closely together.
