SAP Business One – Container Management

SAP Business One users are asking if there is a better way to handle container management. The time it takes to reconcile, update purchase orders, unload the container and update key users on status of containers leads to unnecessary work and lack of visibility and control.

Centralize Information and Automate Processes

At Third Wave we work with numerous importer/distributors and delivered functionality to meet their specific needs. Most times the needs analysis included some or all of the same requirements for SAP Business One Container Management:

• Consolidation of multiple PO’s
  • This consolidation might be with multiple vendors
  • This consolidation might not be the full quantity of the PO line
• Centralizing all information, below are examples of information users want to capture
  • Broker
  • Carrier
  • Container ID
  • Status

The visibility and centralization of information have improved communication, increased control, decreased unloading times, and increased satisfaction of employees and customers.
