G-Log acquisition bears fruit with Oracle Transportation Management 5.5
G-Log acquisition bears fruit with Oracle Transportation Management 5.5: "G-Log also gives Oracle the chance to take on rival SAP AG on the transportation front in the U.S. market. Generally speaking, SAP has been more successful with transportation management in Europe than in the U.S., he said.
'Transportation management is becoming a priority for SAP,' Gonzalez said. 'But to date they have gone the invest-internally route, so it's still going to take them a little time to close the gap in terms of functionality.'
OTM is available as a standalone product or as part of Oracle E-Business Suite. Gittoes said the price for the software is about $14,000 per $1 million worth of freight shipped annually, or roughly 1.4%. "
