Cargowise | SAP S/4HANA Finance Integraion
Cargowise SAP Integration
Industry: Freight Forwarding / Logistics
Footprint: Taiwan · USA · Israel
Middleware: SAP Integration Suite (CPI)
The organisation runs Cargowise as its global freight
forwarding and logistics platform across Taiwan, the USA and Israel, while SAP S/4HANA serves as the corporate financial system. Cargowise held revenue and supplier costs; SAP held the books — and the gap between them created real friction. Customer, supplier, product and G/L master data were maintained separately, producing mapping inconsistencies; manual journal postings slowed processing and introduced reconciliation errors; there was no standardised account determination across regions; and finance teams spent considerable effort reconciling AR, AP and GL balances between the two systems, delaying month-end close.
The Challenge: Operations Without a Brain
Multiple systems in use — Cargowise for operations and SAP S/4HANA Finance for financials Inconsistent master data — Customer, supplier, product, and G/L master data maintained separately, causing mapping inconsistencies Manual journal postings — Heavy reliance on manual entries leading to slow processing and reconciliation errors No standardized account determination — Lack of consistent account rules across regions Finance team overburdened — High effort in AR, AP, and GL reconciliation delaying month-end close
How Shvintech Delivers (this engagement sits within a large-scale SAP Finance transformation programme that unifies finance, manufacturing, compliance, analytics and integration into a single SAP S/4HANA landscape; Shvintech's role runs from discovery through to hyper care):
Leading finance discovery workshops with business stakeholders Supporting tax and statutory compliance integrations Coordinating across manufacturing, quality, logistics and IT teams Preparing functional specifications, test scripts and cutover plans Supporting SIT, UAT, go-live and hyper care Driving process optimization, automation and performance improvements Providing governance, stakeholder communication and solution-architecture guidance across global programmes
Customer → Business Partner, Supplier → Business Partner, Product → Material/Service, Revenue Codes → Revenue G/L, Cost Codes → Expense G/L, plus Company Code, Profit Center and Tax Codes — so every Cargowise transaction can post cleanly in SAP.
Revenue is transmitted to CPI via REST APIs; the middleware performs payload validation, customer and product mapping, revenue G/L and tax determination, and company-code and profit-center assignment, before posting as Customer Invoices (FB70) in ACDOCA.
Supplier invoices flow through the same framework with vendor validation, expense-account mapping, tax validation and company-code mapping — posted as Supplier Invoices (FB60).
Once posted, transactions are immediately available for reporting, flow into SAP Group Reporting for consolidation, and feed SAP Analytics Cloud dashboards, cutting month-end reconciliation effort significantly.
