Simplify your SAP TM Driver Deployment
The SAP TM Driver app automates the driver check-in process without requiring assistance from a shipping clerk.

Fortune 500 Manufacturers and Distribution companies have scores of trucks moving their goods across the country. At many facilities, these trucks just show up in a rough window of time without much warning. The driver has to:
- Get out of the truck
- Wait in line
- Have a nice chat with the shipping clerk
- Fill out a bunch of paperwork
- Wait for the clerk to fill in this data in dozens of SAP screens
- Answer the clerk’s questions
- Get directions on which bay to load/drop off
- FINALLY, move on to his or her next stop
It’s a scenario ripe for digital transformation!
With Mindset SAP TM Driver, your organization can go from this:

How It Works
The truck driver will get a new native iOS Swift app that will let them easily see their deliveries, map out their route, notify the plants about their arrival, and check-in (with geo-fencing to make it 100% accurate)! In the next phase, we plan to go even further and begin preparing the loading docks and drive some incredible efficiencies.
