What a Transportation Management System (TMS) Can Do For You
A TMS is a software solution helping you procure your transportation and manage supply chain needs. It is designed to handle your short-term planning and optimization of transportation activities, assets, resources and execution of transportation plans. All modes can be addressed such as Ocean, Air, Rail, FTL (Full Truckload), LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) and Parcel. It can also manage the flow of transportation related information, documents and money, as well as include performance management and collaboration capabilities linking you with your vendors & suppliers to manage your entire supply chain.
There are many advantages to utilizing SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) in today's operating environment:
Cost Savings In A Down Market - SaaS is helping I.T. teams achieve and sustain efficiency and quality. Most importantly, the cost savings with packages that include maintenance, training and support can provide the highest level of value.
Becoming More Efficient - Free up your I.T. staff from administering in-house solutions so they can focus on strategic projects aimed at helping your business grow.
Provide Optimum Flexibility - Companies are continuously downsizing or expanding. SaaS can allow companies to minimize waste by instantly reducing or increasing the size and scope of their solution at any time.
Companies have been utilizing web-based hosted TMS solutions for many reasons:
- Traditional licensing takes time and resources away from the supply chain manager on what he should be doing - managing the supply chain
- Providers can set up and maintain servers to host the company's data as well as the technical infrastructure needed to manage it
- It's much more cost effective so you can channel those savings towards other crucial areas
- No installation necessary which dramatically cuts down on cost and the time involved in implementation
- It's easy to upgrade, configurable, and can interface with your existing system(s)
UltraShipTMS™ offers total control and visibility over your supply chain, down to the SKU level. You can expect:
