ARC Advisory Group finds that the continued growth of e-commerce from the initial surge during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased customer expectations and new fulfillment models. These new fulfillment models have been beneficial for the industry and continue to help “drive-on-time” deliveries, boosting market growth for Transportation Management Systems (TMS). Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) remains the most significant driver in the TMS market. Vendors that have fully embraced SaaS — and have moved away from traditional software licensing — are experiencing substantially faster growth than those still relying on legacy models.
"Demand for real-time visibility solutions is also on the rise, prompting transportation management systems suppliers to either build these capabilities in-house or partner with established visibility providers. Growing investor interest in this space suggests that a wave of acquisitions is likely in the near future. There is a growing interest in sustainability initiatives and intelligent logistics. Companies are increasingly adopting eco-friendly practices and leveraging advanced technologies like AI and IoT to enhance efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint. These initiatives not only benefit the environment but also improve operational efficiency and customer satisfaction,” according to Jim Frazer, Vice President and key author of ARC's Transportation Management Systems Market Research.
