Selling to the Connected Customer

The power has shifted in the sales arena.

Customers can get a wealth of information with

a few keystrokes and easily swap stories about

your company with other customers around

the globe.

Sometimes, customers have better insights

into a company than the company‘s sales

team does. This shift in the sales dynamic

has had a huge impact on sellers and sales

organizations.

Today’s customers expect a business to be

highly informed about them. To gain the inside

track on customer needs, a company must sift

through mounds of data – from inside and

outside the enterprise.

A company must be agile. It must respond

to customers in real time with a coordinated

effort across multiple decision points.

Visibility into processes, fast insight into

important data, and effective collaboration

can set a team apart.

Best-run cargo transportation and logistics

companies exceed customer expectations,

build loyalty, and grow revenue and profitability.

They achieve this with a streamlined order-to-

cash process that gives customers a perfect

order experience every time.

Today’s customers are socially empowered and digitally connected.

To succeed in the competitive, dynamic cargo transportation and logistics market,

the best sales leaders know they must adapt their selling systems to connect with

customers in the digital world. Sales teams must address today's challenges

with innovative solutions that enable holistic interaction with customers based

on real-time customer data.

Real-time collaboration within and across

teams is essential for delivering a perfect order

experience. Sales, logistics, and finance are

among the teams that must collaborate well for

the business to understand and meet customer

needs. Otherwise, it’s difficult to eliminate

unexpected problems such as unsuccessful

credit authorizations or supply chain

disruptions.

What does it take to create a perfect order

experience for the customer? It takes an

accurate understanding of their needs and the

ability and commitment to meet those needs

at a stated price and time.

SAP software for the order-to-cash process

offers real-time collaborative capabilities that

enable cargo transportation and logistics

companies to create well-defined, attractive

customer contracts and deliver the perfect

order every time.

Collaborate to Optimize Order to Cash

When a cargo transportation and logistics organization uses an efficient,

collaborative order-to-cash process, it can meet – or exceed –its customers’ needs.

This type of process helps the organization build customer loyalty, which grows

revenue and increases profitability. Giving customers a perfect order experience

every time makes an organization the first choice for cargo and logistics.

The ability to precisely negotiate, calculate, and

define freight prices is essential for productive

customer relationships in the cargo

transportation and logistic service business.

With SAP TM, organizations can set up flexible

contract and tariff management as well as

integrated billing for timely settlement of freight

contracts. Efficient freight settlement reduces

costs and improves carrier relations and

service levels.

Effective contract management and

pricing requires advanced charge

maintenance tools and versatile

calculations to accurately determine

freight prices. With SAP software,

companies can implement customer-

specific contract requirements including

product catalogs and general tariffs.

financial accounts, cost centers, and orders

helps companies determine the full cost and

revenue of an order and calculate profitability.

This capability gives an understanding of how
