The platform enables a higher degree of transparency for any company to save an average of 22% shipping costs that current customers enjoy.  

“Given the trajectory of eCommerce and global trade, it’s no wonder companies invest large amounts of money to painstakingly scrape through data–shipping intelligence has never been more valuable or more critical to enterprise success,” said Alan Hopper, EVP of Global Development, ShipERP. “Our partnership with Reveel to introduce ShipERP Spotlight marks a significant milestone for our customers. This new platform optimizes and automates a part of the supply chain that has historically required quite a bit of expertise and data manipulation. The result is massive cost savings for our customers.” 

The strategic partnership aims to empower customers with an advanced solution that simplifies complex shipping data and enables shippers to optimize their operations and drive bottom line and top line results. 

“Reveel is comprised of former carrier executives, so we’ve talked to hundreds of shippers to understand their blind spots and what information enables them to improve their operations while radically lowering costs,” Reveel’s Vice President of Partnerships, Marc Aliotta, said. “We are absolutely committed to helping shippers level the playing field with carriers. Our collaboration with ShipERP is a testament to our shared dedication to delivering value through parcel spend management.  

ShipERP Spotlight is available to ShipERP customers immediately, and both companies look forward to helping businesses achieve their parcel shipping goals through this pioneering partnership.

Top 5 Lessons Learned from Integrating Shipping within SAP EWM

Managing a fast-paced and high-volume warehouse while implementing complicated supply chain logistics is a wild ride. With this complex process in mind, adopting SAP EWM may be in your near future to assist in automating end-to-end logistics. The great thing about taking on SAP EWM is that it will help to optimize quality, production, and distribution operations. 

Here are the top 5 lessons learned from integrating shipping within SAP EWM: 

If an extension is required, make sure that your business meets the following criteria: 

  • The extension is a mandatory requirement and no process change can be put into place to avoid this enhancement. 
  • Quantify the costs and benefits of acquiring the enhancement against the effort spent in developing and maintaining the system.  
  • Ensure that the solution is compatible with upgrades that the company may need in the future. 
  • Use automated shipping services to make sure that it creates carrier compliant labels.

1. Use Standard Functionality as Much as Possible 

When mapping your business process to SAP EWM, leverage the standard business scenarios and configurations offered by SAP and perform enhancements only when it is vital to supply chain and business success.

For a successful project deployment, we need to have a clear view of which metrics should be used. Define the following critical metrics at the beginning of the project and track them throughout the duration and end of the project: 

2. Define and Track your Metrics 

  • Numeric Metrics – Compare current vs future volume, packages shipped per day, total cost of current solution ownership vs SAP EWM ownership, and downtime improvements. 
  • Strategic Metrics – Improvements in visibility on the supply chain process and cost reductions on the freight cost due to process simplifications and shipping integration. 

3. Prepare for Change Management 

If you are moving from a mainframe process to SAP EWM there is a vast process change, and users need to be prepared upfront on the requirements on the new system. Train end users accordingly and engage with key stakeholders at each stage of the project. This practice will ensure that they know what is coming so that they can prepare for potential activities; this process leads to a smoother transition.

4. Choose your Partners Wisely 

Creating a selection strategy to acquire the right partner for the SAP EWM deployment project is crucial to your EWM success. Furthermore, selecting the best partner will reduce your implementation turmoil. The selection strategy should evaluate the partners on their track record on EWM deployments on your industry, their implementation approach, as well as their leadership and change management strategies. You may apply the same criteria for additional shipping services when selecting partners for shipping conveyor solutions, voice automation, etc. 

5. Automate as Much as Possible 

SAP EWM provides a variety of standard automation functionalities such as wave picking, RF functionalities, voice picking, etc. With that said, automate where ever possible to ensure less manual intervention and errors. Label creation, print and apply solutions, hazardous material documentation can be automated. In turn, automation will reduce user errors, leading to increased efficiency and profits. Furthermore, it replaces tribal knowledge with system driven data.
