InstaFreight, SAP Logistics speed the supply chain
InstaFreight announced that key digital service offerings are now integrated with SAP Logistics Business Network, helping to ensure fast and efficient handling of road transportation in Europe. Users of SAP Logistics Business Network now have access to more than 12,000 carrier companies through InstaFreight. By leveraging digital processes, shippers can reduce complexity and carriers can reduce administrative effort, both key benefits during this challenging time of need across the globe.
“InstaFreight is working with the same legal standards as its analog competitors and is subject to the same industry laws, but customers using InstaFreight’s end-to-end digitalised processes can save time and money while gaining maximum transparency,” says Philipp Ortwein, Co-Founder and Managing Director of InstaFreight.The request for freight capacity, also known as RFQ (Request For Quotation), and the resulting order placements are forwarded via an application programming interface (API) from SAP Logistics Business Network to the InstaFreight platform.
InstaFreight, the contractual party to shippers and carriers, generates a quote immediately. Compared to analog freight forwarders, this real-time pricing saves a significant amount of time from the quote to the placement of orders.
