Why Your Business Needs a TMS

A transport management system allows businesses to move the product cost-effectively and efficiently to the destination. A good TMS will enable you to ship your cargo across all modes and
manage any shape or size of the cargo.
First of all, who uses these systems of transport management? The figure below breaks down annual freight expenditure for TMS users and non-users.
Pay attention to the amounts spent as it will be worthwhile as we later uncover savings percentages.

From an American Shipper study in 2016, 32 percent of TMS users claimed to see a cost
reduction of at least 5 percent that can be attributed directly to their TMS. It is worth knowing that 40 percent of study participants reported uncertain changes; that is, during their
 initial deployment-ROI increases or decreases could not be determined by the respondents in the survey. Many survey participants are assumed not to be private to ROI numbers; the actual
savings percentage may be higher.

In 2018, expect a TMS to be even better implemented. As companies in SaaS TMS continue to gain more market traction, the speed of implementation will be
even faster. There are two ways to help time for implementation. The first, offer low barriers to cross so that ASAP can be set up and shipped to users. If you have handy information
about your carrier account, it's not unfathomable that you can set up a TMS in less than a minute. The second method is to offer representative or account manager services that can work
with your company to get you set up with a TMS; this is useful for companies that require specific integration or functionality from a TMS.
