Senior SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) Implementation & Recovery Experts
Onshore, senior-only SAP TM consulting for implementations, migrations, go-live rescue, freight settlement repair, and transportation optimization. Now accepting projects for 2026/2027.
SAP TM projects don’t fail at kickoff. They fail in the middle.
The demos went fine. The blueprint got signed. Then tendering stalled, settlement stopped matching invoices, and the answer from the big integrator was always more hours. Most transportation teams don’t need another army of consultants. They need a small senior team that has already seen the failure mode and knows the fix.
That is the room we work in: the unglamorous middle of an SAP TM program, where configuration meets carrier reality and the freight bill has to reconcile.
Six things we fix.
Every engagement is scoped, fixed, senior-only, and 100% onshore. Pick the one that hurts.
TM Go-Live Rescue — Your SAP TM is live but broken. We stabilize tendering, planning, and settlement and get you using what you paid for.
Freight Settlement Repair — Invoices don’t match, FSDs pile up, finance won’t sign off. We rebuild the settlement chain end to end.
LE-TRA to TM Migration — LE-TRA is out of support in S/4HANA. We convert shipment-era processes to Freight Orders and retire the technical debt.
Legacy TMS Migration — Moving off BluJay, MercuryGate, or another legacy TMS. We map, migrate, and cut over without losing your rates and lanes.
Tendering and Carrier Selection — Covering a load shouldn’t be a phone tree. We standardize rounds, timeouts, and auto-escalation.
TM Enhancements — Optimizer tuning, settlement automation, carrier connectivity. Scoped, built, and handed over documented.
Who we are
Middle Room Consulting Group is a boutique consulting firm focused exclusively on SAP Transportation Management.
We were founded by senior SAP TM practitioners with decades of experience designing, implementing, and operating transportation solutions in complex, real-world environments. Our team has worked with SAP TM since its early releases and has supported its evolution across a wide range of transportation models, industries, and operating scales. That long-term perspective shapes how we approach every engagement.
We specialize in helping organizations adopt SAP TM in a way that is practical, scalable, and sustainable. Our focus areas include transportation planning and execution, freight settlement, visibility, and the critical integration points that connect SAP TM to the broader enterprise landscape.
As a boutique firm, we take a senior-led, hands-on approach. Clients work directly with experienced consultants who understand both the technical depth of SAP TM and the operational realities of transportation teams. We prioritize clear design decisions, knowledge transfer, and solutions that customers can confidently support long after go-live.
Middle Room Consulting Group exists to help organizations get real value from SAP Transportation Management—not just implement it, but make it work.
The room is senior by design: David Elish (28+ years in SAP), Wes Hayden (18+ years in SAP TM), and Rachel Scheffler, who led a multimillion-dollar supply chain deployment across 17 countries against a $1B annual budget.
