  • Save time and money through intelligent planning, optimized routes, smart load space optimization, and better capacity utilization.
  • Make quick, data-driven decisions with comprehensive insights into all transportation processes—from planning to execution.

    What's more: SAP TM scores highly in the area of freight cost management with its support for complex tariff models—including surcharges and discounts. In comparison, LE-TRA can only map simple base cost rates.

Our services will be of interest to you if...

  • You still use SAP LE-TRA and want to switch to SAP TM.

Are you aware of these challenges?

01

Eingeschränkte Funktionalität und veraltete Prozesse

LE-TRA stößt bei komplexen Liefernetzwerken an Grenzen. Manuelle Pflege, fehlende Automatisierung und eingeschränkte Möglichkeiten zur Optimierung erschweren eine effiziente Planung.

02

Keine Zukunftssicherheit von LE-TRA

Da der Support für LE-TRA Ende 2027 ausläuft, bietet die Lösung keine Zukunftssicherheit. Ein jetzt ausbleibender Wechsel nach SAP TM erhöht das Risiko von Betriebsunterbrechungen und steigert den Zeitdruck bei der Transformation.

03

Geringe Flexibilität und langsame Reaktionszeiten

LE-TRA bietet nur begrenzte Anpassungsmöglichkeiten. Auf kurzfristige Änderungen, Kundenanforderungen oder Lieferengpässe können Unternehmen häufig nur verzögert reagieren.

04

Fragmentierte Systemlandschaften und Integrationsprobleme

Viele Unternehmen kämpfen mit Insellösungen, die Daten nicht nahtlos verbinden. Die Folge: Doppelarbeiten, Fehleranfälligkeit und fehlende Echtzeit-Transparenz. Eine mobile Nutzung ist nicht möglich.

SAP TM – our consulting approach

SAP TM – our consulting approach

We help you to efficiently transition from LE-TRA to SAP TM, optimize your processes, and leverage all the benefits of this future-proof and integrated platform.

Important to know: You will need to redesign your processes and data structure for the transition, as there is no migration path from SAP LE-TRA to SAP TM.

With GAMBIT, you benefit from

  • practical advice on the functions and advantages of SAP TM,
  • a comparison of the two variants “Basic” and “Advanced” – including a clear recommendation as to which scenario best suits your needs, and
  • a smooth transition from LE-TRA to SAP TM – from the initial analysis and customizing to go-live and service.

When it comes to logistics, GAMBIT is the right choice: our approximately 30 SCM specialists have expertise from national and international SAP projects.

We provide comprehensive logistics consulting and map the supply chain along the core logistics modules: from Integrated Business Planning (IBP) to Transportation Management (TM) to Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).

Our focus areas

We analyze your existing LE-TRA landscape and develop a customized migration plan. This ensures that the transition to SAP TM runs smoothly and efficiently. SAP LE-TRA can only be used under SAP ECC until the end of 2027—after that, support will end.

We present both options in a direct comparison—transparent, understandable, and tailored to your company and your goals. We highlight the respective strengths of each option and make a clear recommendation as to which model best meets your requirements.

We identify potential for optimization in your transport processes and implement automated workflows. This allows you to increase efficiency, reduce sources of error, and save resources that you can use elsewhere to add value. SAP TM Advanced offers many functionalities for even the most complex requirements, making your transport planning more efficient.

SAP TM is already integrated into SAP S/4HANA, can be connected to SAP ECC, and can also exchange data with systems such as SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) or SAP Production Planning (SAP PP). This creates a uniform platform for all logistics processes, increasing transparency.

With SAP TM, you have a real-time overview of all transport processes and can respond flexibly to changes. This is a clear advantage, as real-time transport planning is not possible with LE-TRA. The evaluations and reports also provide you with a sound basis for decision-making for efficient control of your supply chain.
