How Does CarrierPORTAL Work Within the SAP Shipping Process?
Gain real-time visibility with shipping carriers via CarrierPORTAL, an SAP-integrated web portal. First, assign shipping carriers, couriers, or private fleets to their shipments. Then, the carriers can view their shipping parcel loads in the carrier portal on any device — laptop, desktop, mobile phone, you name it!
Since CarrierPORTAL is an SAP-integrated solution written in ABAP (SAP’s native programming language), the carrier portal solution works seamlessly with your SAP ERP. CarrierPORTAL uses web services within SAP to communicate and implement transactions with shipping carriers.
With CarrierPORTAL, you can guarantee a structurally sound solution to help you coordinate shipments with carriers. ShipERP closely follows the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) methodology, which enables the carrier portal software to integrate seamlessly with carriers and provide real-time processing of shipments and tracking.
Receive updates for each milestone, such as picked up, in transit, arrived at customs, and delivered (to name a few). It’s convenient to stay connected with this carrier portal software!

Sign up today to experience benefits like:
Configurable Carrier Management
ShipERP is fully configurable. It contains its own IMG, allowing you to customize the software to meet your business’s unique needs. One of the most common complaints about competitor software is that it is a one-size-fits-all solution.
Choosing a fully configurable carrier portal eliminates the disadvantages and challenges associated with off-the-shelf software.
Efficient Workflows
When you use CarrierPORTAL by ShipERP, you eliminate the need for multiple integrations or platforms. By compiling all aspects of the shipping process into a single cohesive platform, you make your workflows more efficient, and allow suppliers to promptly perform tasks like:
- Looking up purchase orders.
- Providing order acknowledgments.
- Confirming delivery dates.
- Providing shipping information.
- Generating shipping milestone notifications.
Packaging all these actions and more into a comprehensive portal facilitates better communication and reduces time spent.
Improved Cost Control
When compared to similar products by competitors, CarrierPORTAL offers excellent return on investment by empowering you to control inventory carrying costs. You’ll have complete control over carrier expenses and full visibility of which materials are available.
Native SAP Integration
As mentioned above, this portal is written in ABAP, SAP’s native programming language. Many companies and enterprises complain that their chosen carrier management portal doesn’t integrate well with SAP.
By choosing CarrierPORTAL, which speaks SAP’s language, you can avoid all the undesirable and potentially devastating consequences of poor integration. This product resides within its own SAP namespace, resulting in better control and fewer potential problems.
Comprehensive Carrier Access
When you choose ShipERP and its related tools and integrations, you have comprehensive access to over 250 different carriers. From trusted standards like UPS and FedEx to smaller companies, this portal is a turnkey solution for managing shipping carriers.

What’s nice about ShipERP is that it is written completely in ABAP, the native programming language for SAP. Core to its technology is the use of web services within SAP to directly communicate and transact business with the major carriers that support this technology. By following Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) methodology it enables the ShipERP application to integrate seamlessly with carriers and provide real-time processing of shipments and tracking.
If a carrier does not support a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) the ShipERP product can also utilize XML via HTTP POST or EDI processing to communicate with the carriers. Other options for integration include tracking number generation using carrier algorithms or pre-generated tracking numbers loaded into ShipERP. Whatever the method of integration is, ShipERP can support it.
