Cario
Cario is the Freight and Transport execution and carrier connectivity layer that extends SAP‑led supply chains from Planning through to Execution.
Built for organisations managing complex Freight and Transport networks, Cario provides BTP‑aligned transport execution, real‑time visibility, freight cost intelligence, and access to 500+ pre‑integrated carriers.
Cario operates cleanly alongside SAP, proving the real time transport data through a pre-built SAP adaptor into SAP ERP Cloud.
For customers who choose to adopt SAP Business Data Cloud, Cario can further extend that value by enabling SAP Analytics, AI agents, and SAP Joule to reason over Transport execution data.

Multi‑Carrier Freight Execution for SAP (FMS + TMS)
Cario provides both a Freight Management System (FMS) for managing external carrier freight (quote, book and track across the carrier network) and a Transport Management System (TMS) for managing your own fleet and contracted drivers (plan, dispatch, route optimisation and driver tracking). Cario offers these solutions in a modular platform, with a pre-built SAP adaptor which integrates natively with SAP Cloud ERP and delivers immediate operational value without requiring additional platform components. SAP retains orchestration and governance and Cario captures the real‑world delivery events and outcomes back into SAP.

SAP Integration & Carrier Abstraction
Cario integrates with SAP through a reusable, BTP aligned adaptor that terminates at SAP Business Technology Platform. This creates a single SAP integration point, while abstracting the complexity of hundreds of downstream transportation and carrier systems. For customers who adopt SAP Business Data Cloud, Cario can further extend that value by enabling custom insight applications, advanced analytics and cross‑domain data scenarios.

Freight Cost, Invoicing & Financial Reconciliation for SAP
Cario delivers freight cost actuals, variances, and supporting evidence back into SAP before the accounts payable process commences. By capturing post execution charges, deltas, and exception context across carriers and fleets, Cario simplifies freight invoice reconciliation, reduces manual finance effort, and feeds clean, auditable cost data into SAP for stronger financial control and CFO level confidence.

Transport Data for SAP Business Data Cloud & Joule Analytics
Cario delivers transport data designed for AI driven analytics and decision making within SAP environments. These trusted, decision ready datasets include shipment and milestone events, freight cost actuals, proof of delivery, transport exceptions, and real time tracking data, harmonised across hundreds of carriers. Cario standardises and publishes this data into SAP Business Data Cloud, preserving business semantics and governance so it can be consumed natively by SAP Analytics Cloud and surfaced through Joule’s conversational analytical insights. This enables business users to ask natural language questions, explore transport performance, costs, and service outcomes.
