We are currently building a cloud-based SAP shipping solution. Here’s Matt Langford’s quick overview of the upcoming solution:
The SAP Cloud Shipping Solution is similar to our existing SAP Express Ship Solution, except the web service mapping is hosted and maintained by Blue Harbors “in the cloud”. This eliminates the need to do any mapping in ECC. Calls are still executed real-time and response data is updated directly to XSI. A generic function is used to execute the call. All that is needed is to populate a simple data structure, for which a template/sample code is provided.
Highlights:
• Lower upfront implementation cost. Pricing is based on usage, so ideal for lower volume operations.
• No need to maintain web service mapping in ECC and no middleware required.
• New versions of carrier WSDLs are applied automatically in the cloud, so no need to apply these in ECC.
• Minimal overhead, the response time is similar to the Direct Solution.
• Secure, fast and reliable.
• Not tied directly to SAP/XSI. Can be implemented with any shipping software.
We are really excited about this solution, and plan to begin offering it soon. Interested?
