Shipping Company terra Chooses SAP ERP and best4log-x

  • Successful launch to project
Buchholz-based shipping company terra has decided to introduce the SAP ERP-based industry solution best4log-x and roll out SAP ERP in all its subsidiaries with arvato Systems.

The management at terra is now confident of its decision. Just two months after the launch of the project and completion of the system specification phase, the solution has been successfully deployed in financial accounting. “We made a conscious decision to opt for an integrated and a global ERP system for our company,” says Michael Tietz, owner and Managing Director of terra. Over the coming years, his company is set to “reap the benefits of the full integration of shipping, logistics, and administrative processes and a globally standardized solution.” The costs for integrating stand-alone solutions have continued to increase at a rapid pace over the past few years and “sound information for making decisions was only made available to management with a great delay, if at all,” says Tietz.

“We rely on the globally leading ERP system in the areas of accounting and controlling. We hope that by mapping logistics and shipping processes in the same system, we can benefit from internal process and data quality optimizations as well as improved integration with both new and existing customers. We are already seeing positive feedback from customers and interested parties in response to our decision to opt for SAP,” explains Axel Schneit, Commercial Director at terra.

For arvato Systems, terra is an important reference in the industry. Over ten shipping companies and logistics providers have already opted for an SAP-based solution. “SAP is an ideal platform as there are no limits in terms of mapping the process requirements. This is particularly important for companies whose range of services goes beyond that of traditional shipping companies,” says Frank Arnold, Sales Director for the logistics provider industry at arvato Systems. “We deliver the necessary pragmatism and preconfiguration. This way, we can ensure competitive implementation costs.”

best4log-x is an SAP-based ERP system for logistics providers. It ensures easy access to all logistics and commercial processes, including contract management, transport scheduling, billing, handling of dangerous goods, and warehouse logistics. At the same time, and for the first time, direct integration of financial accounting and controlling guarantees a consistent and transparent representation of the KPIs of all company processes with no interfaces and in real time. best4log-x is developed and marketed jointly by arvato Systems, dbh Logistics IT AG, Quentia AG, and Weber Data Service.
