ARC Advisory Group’s new Transportation Management System (TMS) Evaluation and Selection Guide is designed to help organizations make informed choices when selecting a TMS supplier offering a Planning & Execution solution. A planning and execution solution is owned by shippers or 3PLs that do not own transportation assets and instead rely on a diverse set of carriers to move goods to their destinations.
According to Steve Banker, Service Director for Supply Chain Management at ARC Advisory Group and the primary author of this study, “We also are including a survey of the return on investment (ROI) companies can expect to get from a TMS. This survey not only shows the overall ROI, but the ROI and risks associated with different buckets of functionality. A TMS is a solution where a phased implementation makes a lot of sense. This data helps companies understand how to better implement functionality that has a higher payback with a lower risk profile before implementing other less promising functionality.”
Dr. Banker has spent over 15 years covering transportation management systems.
ARC’s “Transportation Management System Evaluation and Selection Guide” contains general guidance, over 100 specific selection criteria, ROI data, market data, and supplier profiles to help an organizations team members make more informed, fact-based decisions. The guide can help a technology selection team find common ground, with lower risk and in far less time.
