Case Study: Dole Food Company achieves a smooth SAP transition with Cass Information Systems freight audit and payment

Dole Packaged Foods Moves to SAP While Relying on Cass for a Smooth Transition in Freight Audit & Payment

Dole Food Company Inc. used Cass Information Systems for freight audit and payment support as it undertook a major move from its existing ERP system to SAP. The logistics team’s challenge was to preserve automation, accurate visibility into transportation costs, and timely carrier payments during the transition without costly custom programming or disruption.

Cass Information Systems re-engineered the freight audit and payment process to work within Dole’s SAP environment, integrating shipment data from SAP LES, sending cost data to CO-PA, and continuing detailed analysis through CassPort and rate management through Ratemaker. The result was a smooth transition with accurate, trusted data, faster accrual reconciliation, and uninterrupted carrier payments, while giving Dole better visibility into linehaul, fuel, and accessorial costs.
