Industries We Serve

Retail Supply Chain

Retailers rely on near-real-time freight status. Augmented ABAP teams extend SAP TM with OData and Fiori dashboards, automate carrier selection rules, and streamline return logistics—critical for same-day delivery. Outsourcing gives you Logistics SAP Freight Management functionality without long payroll commitments, keeping the focus on customer experience.

Automotive OEM

Complex global part flows demand precision. Outstaffed ABAP developers build custom planning logic, integrate JIT/JIS sequencing and optimize container utilization inside SAP TM. Automotive giants reduce lead-time penalties while protecting IP through Smartbrain’s secure VPN and NDA framework.

Pharma Cold Chain

Temperature-controlled shipping is unforgiving. Specialists augment SAP TM with IoT sensor feeds, GDP compliance checks and automated exception workflows. Outstaffing guarantees you niche GxP ABAP skills exactly when audits loom, avoiding fixed headcount increases.

E-Commerce 3PL

Peak seasons crush fulfilment centers. Augmented developers create auto-scaling freight units, optimize label printing and build carrier-rate engines inside SAP TM. Contracts flex monthly, mirroring order volatility and safeguarding margins.

Aerospace MRO

Grounded aircraft cost millions. Outstaffed ABAP experts integrate SAP TM with MRO systems, ensuring expedited parts arrive on time. Rapid onboarding keeps fleets flying while internal teams focus on flight-safety software.

Food & Beverage

Shelf-life demands flawless routing. External ABAP talent implements shelf-life algorithms, cold-chain validation and real-time deviation alerts inside Logistics SAP Freight Management, preventing spoilage and chargebacks.

Chemical Distribution

Hazmat rules change weekly. Augmented teams maintain DG master data, automate dangerous-goods checks in SAP TM and generate compliant documents—without expanding permanent staff.

High-Tech Electronics

Components cross continents overnight. Outstaffed ABAP pros build predictive ETAs using machine-learning APIs, reducing stock-outs and buffer inventory while keeping payroll lean.

Maritime Shipping

Port congestion erodes profits. External ABAP developers integrate AIS feeds, enable dynamic re-routing and automate detention/DEMURRAGE charges inside SAP TM, boosting voyage margin without onboarding delays.

Logistics SAP Freight Management Case Studies

Client type: National online retailer.

Challenge: Rapid expansion made their Logistics SAP Freight Management module buckle under 80 000 daily orders.

Solution: A squad of three Smartbrain-provided ABAP engineers rebuilt freight unit generation using CDS views and parallelized planning jobs. They coordinated remotely with existing DevOps via secure VPN and delivered code in two sprints.

Result: 37 % faster planning runtime, 22 % reduction in carrier costs, and first package out the door 18 minutes earlier on average.

Client type: Global vaccine manufacturer.

Challenge: Strict GDP compliance required end-to-end temperature tracking within Logistics SAP Freight Management.

Solution: Two outstaffed seniors integrated IoT sensor APIs, wrote BOPF enhancements for alerting, and passed a regulatory validation in 6 weeks. Collaboration happened across three time zones without overrunning budget.

Result: Shipment deviation incidents dropped by 56 %, audit preparation time shrank by 40 hours, and cold-chain loss claims hit a five-year low.

Client type: Tier-1 auto parts exporter.

Challenge: Legacy Logistics SAP Freight Management customization caused 12-hour batch bottlenecks during peak export periods.

Solution: Smartbrain deployed a mixed on-/off-shore ABAP team that refactored BADI logic, introduced event-driven processing with RAP, and tuned HANA queries. Handoff to internal staff included full unit-test suite.

Result: Planning batch window cut to 3 hours (-75 %), freeing one extra production shift and realising US$1.2 M annual savings.
