Commiting to a Modern Transportation Management System
With any technology decision, such as a TMS, there will be supporters and critics; here are answers to a few common objections you may hear to put stakeholders’ minds at ease.
Building a Business Case for a Transportation Management System
Moving to a modern-day TMS is a serious statement about a company’s commitment to cut costs, streamline processes, and maximize the supply chain. It’s not an easy decision and one that has many stakeholders. But with this guide, you can build a business case that even the most prudent executive can't refuse.
The first question to ask yourself is if you really need a new TMS. Luckily, several indicators answer this question for you. If you’re a shipper, 3PL, or freight broker that’s manually managing your transportation with spreadsheets, emails, or a legacy on-premise system, then you’re definitely in need of an upgrade.
Are you using the same TL, LTL, and parcel carriers with little variation or rate shopping? If so, you’re likely overspending every time you ship a load, something a new TMS with an extensive carrier network would solve for you immediately
