Kilometre registration in SAP more effective with co-operation LogicaCMG and AND


14 June 2004 - The co-operation between LogicaCMG and AND in automatic kilometre registration saves companies time and money and prevents later administrative corrections.
 
Kilometre compensation for commuter traffic and business travels is an important cost burden for every organisation. Furthermore, importing and checking the distances is a labour-intensive task. In spite of the many efforts that come with it, there is often a difference between the registered distance and the distance actually travelled. This difference is usually at a disadvantage for the employer. Yearly, organisations check especially commuter distances extensively. This is a very labour-intensive task, which leads to extra costs and to many administrative corrections later. 
 
Automatic kilometre registration is cheaper than registrating manually as it saves direct costs as well as time. After all, the distances travelled do not have to be specified and checked anymore. LogicaCMG and AND's solution also prevents many adminstrative corrections later. Based upon a compensation per kilometre the saving which comes from setting the travelled kilometres objectively, is easy to count.
 
LogicaCMG and AND's solutions offers mySAP HR users the possibility to realise an extra cost reduction on top of the savings which were already achieved with implementing SAP's Employee Self Service applications for travelling expenses.
 
AND, a leading provider of location, routing, mapping and address management technologies, has developed a solution that determines univocally and easily the right kilometres for commuter traffic and business travels. LogicaCMG has developed an interface for this system in order to integrate is easily in mySAP(TM) HR. This solution is based upon SAP's HR application and AND's GeoAccess Expense suite. The solution specifies the departure and target address after which the exact distance is set and gives that back to mySAP(TM) HR.
