SAP Business One for Logistics and Fleet Management
Fleet Management and Logistics are critical aspects of the operations in an organization. The company needs to manage its fleet and logistics to run smoothly and properly. This helps them in reducing the risk to their business. However, using a unified platform like SAP Business One can help a company to properly manage its fleet, logistics, operational and financial aspects.
Fleet management is an integral part of an organization as it helps in tracking and managing everything that is connected to vehicles; may it be maintenance, purchasing new vehicle, managing drivers, tracking vehicle performance, monitoring fuel consumption, or fixing issues and other mechanical problems before it gets severe. This helps save money and time by avoiding unnecessary vehicle repairs.
Logistics is all about planning, implementing, controlling activities that involve moving products from one place to another. It manages the entire process or the cycle right from receiving customer orders to delivering them to the desired location at a considerate timeframe.
Having both operations under one centralized platform “SAP B1” helps businesses in saving money on investments and time.
How SAP Business One helps and benefits the fleet management and logistics operations industry and why is it important:
