Usability
SAP
As any SAP products is not very much user oriented, but its a transactional system. But for large volume operations, it should be more user friendly and easier and more readable interface. SAP in general needs to improve in that area. What is good, you can have a full e2e process overview and traceability of the order - which is one of the reasons we chose to use the product.

It allows to integrate an e2e flow from business process to finance and people management, which in logistic business are the resources for logistic execution. Analytics are obviously allows us to analyze the metrics and make data driven decisions.

Much better for trucking use and routing. Mileage is much more accurate. Its easy to use and search for alternate truck routes if needed.

Return on Investment
SAP
  • Enables movement of code changes through the landscape seamlessly
  • We have a busy shop and it doesn't matter if a project with 1000+ changes or 100 changes, the system handles it very well. The business is happy that we can move all these changes at one go
  • One feature would be to identify if the changes are to some core objects in the system then take an automatic backup or at least give that option.
