With FIS/PackingCenter, FIS Informationssysteme und Consulting GmbH presents a new solution for packaging and shipping processes on the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). The solution aims to map packaging directly within the warehouse process and avoid typical media breaks between the warehouse, shipping preparation, and shipping providers. FIS is partnering with AEB to achieve this, combining SAP logistics expertise with global shipping provider connectivity.
In many companies, the packaging of shipments currently involves several system steps. Data must be exchanged between warehouse and ERP systems via complex interface scenarios, changes shortly before shipping lead to additional effort, and the integration of shipping service providers is often associated with manual maintenance. The FIS/PackingCenter addresses precisely these issues: Packaging processes are mapped directly within the warehouse context, employees receive a clear overview of the packaging hierarchy, and shipping data can be transferred to connected service providers in a structured manner.
»FIS/PackingCenter brings packaging to where it belongs: directly into the SAP warehouse process. Instead of detours, feedback loops, and additional effort, this creates a seamless process at the packing station,« says Dieter Ball, Managing Director of FIS. »For companies, this represents a noticeable increase in efficiency and therefore progress in day-to-day business.«
Partnership with AEB Creates Synergy from Two Core Competencies
For connecting shipping providers, FIS is partnering with the software provider AEB. While FIS contributes its expertise in developing SAP solutions and integrating logistics processes, AEB handles the connection and maintenance of over 300 shipping provider interfaces.
Today, companies expect seamless processes from warehouse logistics to shipping processing. »Connecting over 300 shipping providers and continuously maintaining their interfaces requires in-depth specialist knowledge,« explains Andrej Grohar, Product Manager at AEB. »We bring precisely this expertise to the partnership with FIS. This allows customers to benefit from a solution in which SAP logistics and shipping integration ideally complement each other.«
Premiere at LogiMAT
FIS will be presenting its new FIS/PackingCenter for the first time at LogiMAT. Visitors can get a first look at the solution at the FIS booth and see how packaging processes, shipping preparation, and service provider integration are combined in SAP.
Those interested can find FIS at LogiMAT in Hall 4, Booth F65.
