Large-scale freight and transport operations within a business are complex. Not just for warehouse staff but also for sales, customer service and finance teams that interact with freight processes daily.

Cario can transform how your teams quote, select, book, track and trace freight across multiple carriers. And now you can natively integrate Cario’s extensive functionality into SAP for all your teams to use.

Cario and SAP Integration Options

Cario customers using SAP can choose from two integration models to share data and functionality between the two systems.

  • The native integration model where Cario functionality is embedded and operated wholly within SAP
  • The “arm's-length” option relies on data being exported out of SAP into Cario. Freight operations can then be completed in Cario, and data - such as costing or tracking events - can be regularly imported back into SAP.

Customers can also choose a combination of these two models depending on their requirements and ownership of specific freight and transport operation functions.

With SAP's configurability, some scenarios might be better suited to the “arms-length” model, such as when stock items are repackaged for shipping. The resulting shipment size might not equal the sum of the combined items’ individual dimensions and weight, making it very difficult to obtain freight pricing within SAP.

Common Integration Scenarios:

SAP creates and governs transportation requirements. Cario executes freight across carrier networks, private fleets and logistics providers. Together they connect enterprise planning with real-world freight execution while returning trusted operational and financial outcomes back into SAP.

1. Quoting

Compare carrier options before dispatch

Cario turns SAP transport requirements into carrier-ready freight options, applying business rules, rate cards, service levels and customer preferences before execution begins.

Outcome: better cost visibility, faster carrier selection and more consistent delivery decisions.

Includes:

  • Least-cost, fastest-service and preferred-carrier rules
  • Transit time, capacity and contract rate comparison
  • Cost versus service optimisation

2. Consigning

Execute freight from SAP requirements

Cario receives SAP freight requirements and manages the execution workflow across external carriers, private fleets, warehouses and logistics providers.

Outcome: standardised dispatch, fewer manual steps and less reliance on individual carrier portals.

Includes:

  • Carrier booking, consignment creation and manifesting
  • Label, connote and compliance document generation
  • Multi-package and shipment consolidation workflows

3. Tracking

Return real-time freight visibility to SAP

Cario captures and standardises transport events from carrier and fleet networks, then returns trusted execution updates into SAP-supported workflows.

Outcome: improved customer service, faster issue resolution and less effort tracking freight across multiple systems.

Includes:

  • Shipment status, milestones, ETA and exception updates
  • Proof of Delivery, sign-on-glass and photo capture
  • Carrier performance and delivery event monitoring

4. Finance

Connect freight execution to financial control

Cario validates actual freight activity against contracted rates, surcharges and carrier invoices before returning cost outcomes to SAP.

Outcome: stronger freight governance, cleaner accruals and reduced invoice reconciliation effort.

Includes:

  • Freight cost, rate and surcharge validation
  • Invoice matching, variance identification and reconciliation
  • Freight charges, actual costs and audit outcomes returned to SAP
