4flow vista®
Standard software for supply chain and transportation planning available as SAP add-on
Sustainable transportation cost reduction
Transportation costs often account for well over half of a business’s logistics costs. 4flow vista® – the standard software for supply chain and transportation planning – ensures significant and sustainable transportation cost reduction with its proven modules for planning and continuous optimization from the strategic to the operational level. 4flow vista® users benefit from significantly improved transportation handling with optimized processes and comprehensive transparency across the transportation network.
4flow vista® can be used as an add-on to SAP TM, both as a stand-alone solution and in S/4HANA® system landscapes. A switch to S/4HANA® presents a good opportunity to implement 4flow vista® at the same time.
