Logistics and supply chain leaders are keeping an eye on escalating tensions overseas, drought conditions in the Panama Canal, and emerging cybersecurity headaches. Here are a few proactive strategies for navigating an evolving supply chain landscape where new risks continue to lurk around every corner.

Whether manual, automated or somewhere in between, reverse logistics operations deliver maximum return only with an organized and efficient process. Don’t wait any longer to make your move.

We explore the role that WMS plays in today’s e-commerce fulfillment centers and how it will continue to drive these busy operations in the future as it becomes more intelligent—and, in some cases, intertwined with other applications within the warehouse’s four walls.

Our top supply chain software analysts share the TMS trends they believe shippers need to be paying attention to during the coming year.

Interest in yard management systems (YMS) is growing as the software helps more companies automate processes, speed up trailer turnaround times, and save money.

As more companies work to make their global supply chains more resilient, strong, and efficient, supply chain management software continue to play an important role in those efforts.

According to Gartner, 94% of businesses are now using the cloud in some capacity. Whether your company is overhauling current approaches or rolling out completely different solutions, there’s little doubt that the cloud is playing a huge role in these changes—driving even more growth.

A long-time mainstay in productive warehouse environments, WMS is more than proving its value in today’s resource constrained business environment.

As international trade volumes continue to hit records every year, shippers of all sizes are turning to applications to gain visibility and control of their global trade processes and GTM vendors are there to answer the call.

As the transportation environment becomes increasingly complex, transportation management systems are being called upon more than ever to meet shippers’ needs. Industry analysts contend that TMS “just keeps getting better,” with much of that momentum being driven by end users that are continually asking vendors to fold more capabilities and functionalities into their software portfolios.

Focused on improving visibility while also managing challenges like the labor shortage and supply chain disruptions, more shippers are turning to yard management systems (YMS) to optimize communication between their WMS and TMS applications—and seeing terrific overall service improvements in the process.

On track to hit $78.4 billion in revenues by 2026, the global enterprise resource planning market is increasingly making its way into the supply chain management sector, where companies are leveraging their ERPs to both manage the current uncertainty and plan for the future.

As logistics operations seek out new or replacement supply chain management solutions, an increasing number of them are putting Cloud solutions at the top of their shopping lists.

With no end in sight to the labor shortage, companies are turning to labor management system technology for help optimizing their current labor resources.

Shipper demand, vendor innovation and advances in technology have worked together to get the vision of the digital supply chain over the finish line.
