SAP TM implementation, run by people who have done it before.
If you are choosing an SAP TM implementation partner, you have probably noticed the pattern: the big integrators sell you a global delivery machine, and somewhere between the sales deck and the build phase, the SAP Transportation Management workstream lands on whoever was available. TM is a deep, narrow module. Implementing it well takes people who have configured planning, tendering, execution, and settlement against real freight — not a bench that read the help portal last month.
Who this is for. Shippers implementing SAP TM for the first time — greenfield on S/4HANA, embedded or standalone — and companies whose S/4 program is forcing the move off LE-TRA or a legacy TMS. We work directly with your team, or as the TM workstream inside a larger integrator-led program.
What we deliver. A full implementation lifecycle: design workshops grounded in how your freight actually moves; configuration of planning, carrier selection and tendering, freight execution, charge management, and settlement; integration design for ERP, EWM, visibility platforms, and carrier EDI; testing against real rate structures and real invoices, not sample data; cutover planning; and hypercare with the same senior people who did the design. Nobody rotates off after the blueprint.
Typical shape. Mid-market implementations typically run 12 to 24 weeks depending on scope, network complexity, and carrier count. Every engagement is scoped and fixed-price. We size to the work, not to a headcount number, and when we are done we hand over documentation your team can actually run with.
Why senior-only matters here. Most TM implementations do not fail on software. They fail on judgment calls: a charge model that does not fit the carrier contracts, a planning strategy configured for the demo scenario, an integration nobody owns. Those calls get made early, quietly, and by whoever is in the room. In our engagements the room is 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. That is the whole roster, and it is the point.
If an implementation is already underway and wobbling, see TM Go-Live Rescue. If you are leaving LE-TRA or a legacy TMS, we run those as scoped migrations. And if you are not sure what you need yet, start with the call below — we will tell you what we would fix first, and whether you can get there with the team you have.
