Shippers need every advantage they can get to save money and improve their bottom line. One of the most important tools for shippers is a transportation management system (TMS) that provides visibility into spot rate load boards.

The story of Frankenstein bears striking similarities to the challenges faced with disparate IT systems in modern organizations. Like Victor Frankenstein’s creation, cobbled together from various parts, disparate IT systems are often assembled from different technologies and platforms, resulting in a complex and potentially unmanageable entity.

Reducing shipping costs in a supply chain is not about cutting corners or staff, however. To take advantage of hidden opportunities in efficiency and cost control, transportation management teams need access to a cloud-based transport management system (TMS system)

TMS Software transforms transportation and logistics, producing vital efficiencies and promoting better shipping outcomes.
