Focused on creating efficiencies, improving supply chain visibility, managing costs, and providing higher levels of customer service, a growing number of shippers continue to invest in transportation management systems (TMS) every year. Leading the pack both in terms of overall supply chain management (SCM) and Cloud applications, TMS helps logistics operations solve pain points like increased wait times at loading/unloading locations, freight price volatility, and the push to close final-mile delivery gaps. As the workhorse of the SCM stable, TMS also helped companies mitigate the supply chain disruptions and transportation uncertainty brought on by the global pandemic. According to a May 2020 survey of 350 shippers conducted by Peerless Research Group (PRG) on behalf of Odyssey Logistics & Technology Corporation, TMS played a critical role in increasing shipping transparency, closing customer communication gaps, and helping shippers maintain remote work capabilities during the pandemic. |
