The Vision Behind the Partnership

At Tratics, our goal has always been clear: to simplify and enhance rail rate management for our clients. We’ve built a cloud-based platform that consolidates all aspects of rail rates, including contracts, tariffs, Rule 11 rates, fuel surcharges, stations, routes, and mileages. By offering comprehensive price visibility and comparison tools, Tratics has helped rail shippers save time and money while navigating the complexities of rail logistics.

Now, through our partnership with Synergy Consulting, we’re taking our mission to the next level. By developing a bridge solution and APIs to connect Tratics with SAP, we aim to automate and streamline the flow of rail pricing data into SAP systems. This innovation promises to eliminate manual processes, enhance data accuracy, and empower rail shippers with faster, more informed decision-making capabilities.

What This Means for Rail Shippers

North American rail shippers using SAP stand to benefit from this integration. Here’s how:

  • Enhanced Efficiency: Manual entry of rail pricing data is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. Our integration will automate this process, freeing up valuable time for shippers to focus on strategic initiatives.
  • Improved Accuracy: By ensuring a seamless flow of real-time data between Tratics and SAP, shippers can rely on up-to-date and precise information, reducing the risk of costly mistakes.
  • Capability to Handle Complexity: Tratics’ platform is designed to manage all types and levels of rail rate complexity and the diverse pricing methodologies employed by different railroad carriers. Whether it’s navigating tariff structures, Rule 11 rates, or carrier-specific pricing rules, this integration ensures that shippers can seamlessly handle even the most challenging pricing scenarios with confidence.
  • Comprehensive Insights: Integrating Tratics' robust rail pricing tools with SAP’s enterprise resource planning capabilities will provide shippers with unparalleled visibility into costs, routes, and opportunities for optimization.
  • Cost Savings: By simplifying rate management and uncovering the most efficient routes and pricing options, this integration will drive significant cost reductions for rail shippers.

Building the Future Together

Through this partnership, Synergy Consulting will leverage its extensive experience in SAP implementation and customization to develop a bridge solution tailored to the needs of rail shippers. Our joint effort will focus on:

  1. Developing APIs: We’ll create robust APIs to facilitate seamless data exchange between Tratics and SAP, ensuring compatibility and reliability.
  2. Streamlining Processes: By automating the integration of rail pricing data, we’ll remove redundant manual steps, allowing shippers to focus on value-added activities.
  3. Testing and Refinement: To ensure the success of this solution, we’re actively seeking a pilot client. This partnership offers a unique opportunity for a forward-thinking rail shipper to shape the future of rail rate management by testing the solution on one product or business line.
