Aviation SAP Freight Management Case Studies

Client: Global 3PL provider with 3,000 employees managing air freight across 40 countries.

Challenge: The client relied on manual airway bill processing and spreadsheets for Aviation SAP Freight Management, leading to revenue leakage and IATA compliance risks. 15% of invoices contained errors due to manual data entry.

Solution: Smartbrain.io deployed a team of 2 architects and 5 developers to implement SAP Transportation Management. We automated AWB processing, integrated carrier APIs via SAP BTP, and migrated 5 years of historical data.

Results: The project was delivered in 14 weeks. Invoice accuracy improved to 99.5%, and the client realized a 22% reduction in operational costs within the first year.

Client: Mid-sized pharmaceutical manufacturer ($500M revenue) requiring strict temperature monitoring for air shipments.

Challenge: Lack of visibility into air freight conditions caused product spoilage. The client needed Aviation SAP Freight Management to integrate IoT sensor data with logistics execution for GxP compliance.

Solution: A dedicated Smartbrain.io team integrated SAP TM with IoT platforms and carrier systems. The solution automated alerts for temperature excursions and validated against compliance standards.

Results: Spoilage rates dropped by 98%. The client achieved 100% audit readiness and reduced claims processing time by 50%.
