OCT- DEC 2019LOGISTICSTRANSPORTATIONREVIEW.COM6Compared to the late 1990s, the logistics sector has experienced a systemic advancement, sparked by implementation of innovative technologies to undergo digitalization and streamline business operations. For instance, by leveraging artificial intelligence, and cloud, transport management companies have now optimized the entire transportation lifecycle from shipment processing, auditing, tracking, and related fiscal tasks. Shippers today are employing web-based or cloud platforms that can provide real-time information about various facets of the transportation and deliver an adequate visibility and control of the overall process. As transportation networks become interlinked and complex, the demand for specialized transport management systems (TMS) is growing at a remarkable pace. A majority of logistics companies are leveraging advanced TMS capabilities like rating and tendering, in addition to real-time feedback and collaboration for better optimization of their transportation activities and supply chains. On the other hand, the advanced analytics capabilities of the system assist transportation personnel in making data-driven strategies to boost supply chain efficiencies. Furthermore, enterprises are integrating TMSs with internal systems like ERPs to understand their logistics operations better.At the same time, the increase of e-commerce and omnichannel supply chains is leading TMS providers to emphasize on last-mile delivery. This enables shippers to deliver/transport products quickly and cost-effectively. And, owing to the automated asset tracking and alerts functionality of TMSs, logistics firms can bolster their end-to-end visibility and reduce risks. Today, a shipment in a truck or ship can be tracked in real-time regardless of location through the utilization of sophisticated telematics. Therefore, by deploying a TMS, logistics companies are capitalizing the newer avenues introduced by emerging technology applications. The success of companies that operate in the modern-day logistics industry is primarily driven by innovation and the implementation of state-of-the-art technologies across multiple levels. In this edition of Logistics & Transportation Review, we are featuring a list of leading players in the TMS market that can help companies stay ahead of the curve with their proven capabilities and expertise in the field.Let us know your thoughts.Streamlining Transportation with Enhanced VisibilityEDITORIALCopyright © 2019 ValleyMedia, Inc.
