J.B. Hunt Transport Services has announced that its J.B. Hunt 360° solution is now integrated within the resource planning software SAP ERP. The aim is to manage logistics needs by using one solution only.
According to the company, the integration with SAP ERP will enable businesses that use SAP solutions to instantly access J.B. Hunt 360’s freight-matching marketplace to secure capacity for shipments. In just a few clicks, a load can be scheduled for delivery through a qualified carrier in J.B. Hunt 360, providing access to nearly one million trucks throughout the U.S without leaving the SAP system. Shipment information such as load documentation and invoices will also be stored in the system for easy access.
It is hoped that the integration will automate many time-consuming manual tasks, especially for small and medium- sized businesses, making the process more efficient and convenient. Businesses using SAP technology will have access to Shipper 360TM by J.B. Hunt – a shipper-focused platform of J.B. Hunt 360 – for tracking and visibility of shipments. They can also create alerts for arrivals, delays, and deliveries using Shipper 360, allowing them to focus on other tasks while having access to information when they need it.
“By adding the freight-matching power of J.B. Hunt 360 directly within SAP systems, businesses will have greater access to a variety of shipping solutions, all within the platform they use each day,” said Shelley Simpson, chief commercial officer and executive vice president of people and human resources at J.B. Hunt.
