SAPMarkets offers exchange-based integrated logistics services

SAPMarkets, Inc., the exchange company of the SAP group, is now offering the ability to procure and manage transportation services through NTE, a major e-transportation provider.

The new capability provides integrated transportation services to private and public exchanges running on MarketSet, the joint solution from SAPMarkets and Commerce One, Inc.

NTE has created an XML-based interface to automate communication and process flows between a shipper and an exchange.

XML integration allows for seamless transportation of goods procured through private and public exchanges and eliminates the need for manually contacting transportation service providers.

The preconfigured interface provides customers with the ability, in real time, to tender freight, receive and confirm quotes,track and trace freight, and generate statistical reports.
