Neoris Welcomes SAP® Transportation Management 8.0

Online, July 25, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Neoris, a global business and IT consulting company and SAP global services partner, welcomes the general availability of the 8.0 release of the SAP® Transportation Management (SAP TM) application from SAP AG (NYSE: SAP). Neoris is a long-time SAP services and channel partner that has enabled customers in a range of industries around the world to leverage SAP solutions for transportation, enterprise resource planning, supply chain execution and related solutions.

"Any company with a large outbound or inbound transportation requirement faces an extended supply chain that has grown in complexity from the days of the traditional linear chains," said Jose Antonio Hernández, CTO of Neoris. "These new and complex networks demand sophisticated control of the execution and real-time information while keeping logistics management costs down. SAP Transportation Management 8.0 is designed to do just that and will be a welcome addition to our SAP customers and our SAP practice."

One area of transportation management that Neoris has focused attention on is providing shippers, logistics service providers, private fleet owners and customers in a range of industries with a comprehensive end-to-end solution. Since transportation is becoming an "in the field" activity, and events influencing its execution are difficult to predict and control, the industry has been limited in its ability to make real-time decisions and anticipate issues due to the lack of tools that provide operational data. Neoris has solved this problem by developing ActiveSuite™ Logistics, a powerful, configurable software solution, certified by SAP as powered by the SAP NetWeaver® technology platform, which provides visibility and enforces transportation plans created on any transportation management system, including SAP Transportation Management 8.0.

Because ActiveSuite Logistics serves as a bridge to a multitude of heterogeneous devices and data generators and offers integration with SAP Transportation Management and the SAP Event Management application, it fulfills a functional need, providing execution monitoring out of the box. Neoris has already deployed ActiveSuite Logistics on earlier versions of SAP solutions. With the use of ActiveSuite Logistics and solutions from SAP, customers have been able to streamline operational activities, reduce lost and damaged freight, decrease load and delivery errors, increase visibility of operational data, and respond to potential supply chain disruptions before they become crises. Neoris' experience with logistics has been gained through working with customers including Ryder Systems, CEMEX, Prosegur and Gator Leasing, among others around the world.

Neoris is a long-time SAP services and channel partner, and in addition to its seven nearshore solution centers in Latin America and Europe, the company operates five Centers of Excellence for SAP solutions in Argentina, Hungary and Mexico. More than 3,500 employees, including consultants offering deep experience with SAP solutions-many of whom have been certified in the use of SAP applications-serve clients in a wide range of industries, including retail, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, natural resources, agribusiness, logistics and transportation, among others.
