Shipping System for SAP

Shipping packages with SAP just got a whole lot easier!

SAP does a lot for your company. If, however, your business requires shipping orders with UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS, LTL, and TL carriers, SAP falls short; as do most 3rd party add-ons and carrier-provided solutions. Why? First, SAP does not have native carrier-compliance shipping functionality which requires you to integrate an external shipping application. Second, to integrate an external application requires extensive IT resources, a separate IT platform, and is difficult to deploy and maintain.

Leveraging years of industry expertise and proven software solutions, Nexxio offers a single source, SAP Certified solution that allows enterprise users to ship small parcel, LTL, TL, without ever leaving SAP. Because it's a native a SAP shipping application it is a cost-effective, ready-to-use solution, what takes the complexity out of multi-carrier, multi-modal shipping. Why consider integrating just any shipping system when you can leverage your investment in SAP, with a solution that is certified by both SAP and your carriers, and can be up and operational in your SAP landscape in weeks, rather than months?
