Company Overview
A leading global mining company operating complex, high-volume outbound supply chains across multiple plants, depots, and regulatory jurisdictions needed to bridge SAP S/4HANA with its logistics partner platform.
Before: Manual Coordination Slowing Outbound Logistics
- Truck dispatch was delayed by manual delivery creation and goods issue posting.
- Data entry errors occurred in storage locations, batch numbers, and vehicle assignments.
- country-specific transport documentation and GST country-specific e-invoicing generation created compliance bottlenecks, with no real-time visibility for customers or transporters.
- Every transaction step depended on SAP-trained staff.
The Solution
A fully automated, API-driven bridge was designed and delivered between SAP S/4HANA and the client's logistics partner. Eight production-ready APIs cover the full outbound lifecycle, from sales order and stock transport order extraction through GST e-invoicing, country-specific transport documentation generation, and PDF document delivery, all orchestrated securely through SAP PI/PO middleware.
After: End-to-End Automation, Built-In Compliance
- 8 production-ready APIs delivered, automating the entire logistics workflow from order to shipment.
- 100% GST e-invoicing and country-specific transport documentation compliance built in from day one.
- Zero manual SAP login required by logistics operators.
- Delivered in 15 days versus a 60-day industry standard, a 75% reduction.
Efficiency Gains
- Functional spec and data mapping: 2 days versus 10 to 15 days industry standard.
- API development: 5 days versus 20 to 25 days industry standard.
- Total delivery: 15 days versus 53 to 70 days industry standard.
