THE INDISPENSABLE EDGE: TMS Empowers Shippers in a Competitive Landscape

Stop pushing boxes. For companies looking to get ahead, a Transportation Management System (TMS) is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. Leading TMS providers offer solutions and innovations to propel shippers toward efficiency, cost reduction, and superior

service delivery. A A robust transportation management system is one of the most powerful weapons that a shipper can wield today. “In the intricate web of modern supply chains, the role of transportation management systems is pivotal, acting as the backbone that ensures the seamless movement of goods from origin to destination,” says Alan Miller, president of TransportGistics, a global logistics solutions provider. Transportation management systems have long played a central role in the supply chain, but that role has become increasingly vital as shippers, technology, and the global supply chain continue to evolve and grow more sophisticated. “What a TMS does is becoming more and more important, particularly for companies that operate on a global scale,” says Stewart Dunsmore, senior vice president, supply chain services, for freight audit service company nVision Global. “An effective TMS is more critical now than it has ever been,” agrees Spencer Gore, vice president, operations excellence, with CTSI-Global, a provider of supply chain technology services.
