Frequently asked questions

Companies track orders and shipments through tracking software solutions that enable logistics visibility. Logistics visibility is the ability to track an order or the movement of goods, products, and materials for a clear view of status and progress along a process or route. Logistics visibility solutions can enable order and shipment tracking in real time when the Internet of Things, dedicated visibility providers, and global positioning systems provide data to indicate where a shipment is along the defined process or planned route. Top logistics visibility solutions enhance shipment tracking capabilities with order context and real-time risk and impact analysis from additional integrated data sources when an order or shipment is disrupted along its process or route.

Global tracking systems providing logistics visibility enable shippers and receivers to monitor and manage orders and shipments in real time. Top global tracking systems leverage logistics visibility to provide risk mitigation and impact avoidance information for shipping managers to navigate around or minimize disruption. Logistics visibility from global tracking systems provide transparency and insights that make supply chains more agile, optimized, sustainable, and resilient to disruption.

Logistics visibility of goods in transit is critical to supply chain visibility. Logistics visibility provides shipment location, progress, status, risk, and estimate arrival time information with order context that enables supply chain managers to identify and analyze supply chain disruptions, take corrective action, and respond and collaborate with external supply chain partners – all critical parts of supply chain visibility.

SAP Business Network Global Track and Trace is a global tracking solution that provides real-time tracking of orders and shipments. The solution enables logistics visibility of inbound, intracompany, or outbound shipments, as well as order fulfillment processes, enriched by real-time, global positioning data from carriers or visibility partners. Predictive monitoring and advanced insights enabled by integrated risk data drive exception alerts informing customers or production of potential impacts. Reliable estimated arrival times and extended business context provided by the solution can help make supply chains more agile, resilient, and sustainable.

The real-time shipment and order tracking capability in SAP Business Network Global Track and Trace can help reduce logistics costs related to reactionary responses to supply chain disruption. The SAP Business Network Global Track and Trace solution also helps improve situational awareness for reduced risk of impact or revenue loss from supply chain disruption, and can elevate the customer experience for internal or external customers who depend on reliable delivery information.
