AEB launches Carrier Cloud for SAP®

AEB SE, a leading provider of cloud services for logistics and foreign trade, has added a new solution to its product range.

With Carrier Cloud for SAP, AEB addresses the growing need of industrial and commercial companies to automate and optimize their shipping processes in conjunction with SAP software solutions.
The cloud service can be quickly and easily integrated into the main SAP systems thanks to ready-to-use plug-and-play connections. For example, ready-made add-ons are available for SAP ECC, SAP EWM, SAP TM, and SAP S/4HANA. There is also an out-of-the-box integration into SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud using SAP Business Technology Platform.

One platform – over 300 carriers and parcel services

“With Carrier Cloud for SAP, logistics and shipping teams can access a network of over 300 connected carriers and parcel services directly,” explains Andrej Grohar, Product Manager at AEB. “For the latter, shipping orders can be created automatically from SAP documents, and shipping labels in native printer language directly from the respective SAP solution. This results in reliable, high-performance shipping processes for all transport routes and modes.”

The software also supports the shipping of hazardous goods in compliance with laws and regulations, and the processing of multi-package shipments. In addition, functionalities for tracking, reporting, and entry certificates are available, as well as options for carbon measurement and reporting via the partner gryn.

Clean core strategy made easy

With Carrier Cloud for SAP, AEB offers a future-proof solution that helps companies implement their clean-core strategy efficiently. Instead of making extensions in the SAP core, as is often the case with traditional ABAP-based approaches, the AEB solution relies on a flexible, cloud-native architecture.

This also simplifies the transformation to SAP S/4HANA for companies. Here, only the connection to Carrier Cloud for SAP needs to be updated. The connection to the transport service providers on the AEB platform remains intact.

The AEB solution also boasts high scalability and flexibility. For example, companies can easily expand additional shipping and warehouse locations – even in heterogeneous system landscapes.

Another benefit is that AEB runs Carrier Cloud for SAP in its own, GDPR-compliant, ISO-certified data centers in Germany. These are highly secure and ensure a high level of availability. This also means that routing data and service area lists of carriers are automatically updated by AEB. Label and EDI formats thus always meet the current requirements, which increases process reliability.

Certified by major logistics companies such as DHL, DPD, UPS, and FedEx

Carrier Cloud for SAP® is a multi-carrier shipping platform that is certified by many major parcel services. The advantage of this is that the connections to DHL, UPS, DPD, FedEx, and others have been vetted by the parcel services to meet their standards of quality.

The shipping platform from AEB gives shipping companies peace of mind, knowing their data will always be transmitted correctly to the carriers and parcel services. Unlike non-certified software tools, which have to undergo an approval process before being used in the company, the use of Carrier Cloud for SAP eliminates this additional effort for the relevant transport partners.
