The Fuel Surcharge is a method used by Transportation Service Providers (TSPs) and carriers to pass on fuel price fluctuations to the shipper. Carriers are responsible for monitoring fuel prices and updating and publishing the current fuel surcharge rate. In the U.S., the Energy Information Administration (EIA) publishes fuel prices weekly.

​

One of the repetitive tasks (usually weekly) for the shipper logistics team is to retrieve the current fuel surcharge rate from the carrier's website and update the SAP Transportation pricing.

This bot can be scheduled to automatically retrieve the current rate from the carrier's website and update the SAP Transportation pricing. It has been developed on the SAP Business Technology Platform, leveraging its Business Process Automation solution and side-by-side extensibility.
