Magnit has begun to introduce a unified transport management system

2021: Start implementing SAP Transportation Management

On June 17, 2021 the SAP CIS company reported that PJSC Magnit began introduction of a uniform control system transportomSAP Transportation Management on the basis of SAP S/4HANA. Using the system, the company plans to reduce transportation costs, increase transparency of supply chains and optimize the turnover of its own transport.

The implementation of an IT system based on SAP Transportation Management is one of the key stages of Magnit's large digital transformation program. The key goal of the project is to meet the need of the business to manage the full transportation cycle and improve the level of transport logistics service. The partner for the implementation was chosen company LeverX.

A unified system will replace more than ten disparate heterogeneous IT systems. It will reflect all the company's business processes related to logistics. This will improve the quality and speed of processes and minimize the downtime of transport. In addition, the system will implement a "single window" for working with hired carriers, which will allow them to interact in real time.

Over the years, we have used our own Legacy systems, our main task is to transfer all processes to the target system. We hope to achieve all our goals, including optimizing IT maintenance costs. We plan that at the end of 2021 we will be able to share the first results of our project, "said Fedor Pavlovsky, director of logistics at the Magnit network.

The system will help the company provide the necessary support for business growth and open up opportunities for scalability. It is important to note that as part of quality management, the SAP Services CIS expert team conducted Quality Assurance of the project, assessing functional and technical risks. This will ensure optimal implementation efficiency, help achieve return on investment, as well as use all the capabilities of the standard functionality of the solution, - commented Andrei Goryainov, Deputy General Director of SAP CIS.
