Three must-have features to look for in a TMS software solution

In today’s market, supply chains are subject to dramatic and unpredictable swings. Even professionals with decades of experience in the industry know that there is never a day when they can run on autopilot. While we can’t always control external factors, we can certainly mitigate the impact they have on our organizations, and we can optimize operations to better position ourselves to handle market volatility. 

Unfortunately, many experts in the industry are still struggling with antiquated and disparate processes within the organization’s logistics systems. Many are maintaining manual systems that don’t connect across partners or automate workflows that could save them valuable time. Many insist that their spreadsheets have worked fine for years. In every case, they are failing to consider how much money they are leaving on the table.

The challenge of having isolated processes is that shippers have no real way of communicating information and sharing data in a way that works for all stakeholders. These disparate systems create confusion and can cause problems in other areas of the business, such as by straining relationships with shipping partners, delaying business internally, and drawing negative feedback from customers.
