AI and the underlying technologies are not a system and solution in and of itself but instead as a means to enhance existing processes and increase employee productivity. Explore practical applications and overcome skepticism in this insightful guide to AI’s impact on transportation and logistics technology.
Uncover strategic insights on avoiding common pitfalls and maximizing ROI by realizing the full potential of your Transportation Management System (TMS). Discover practical steps for continuous improvement and ensuring your technology adapts to your business needs.
To gain insight into shippers’ genuine experiences with their TMS, JBF Consulting engaged Adrian Gonzales from Adelante SCM to conduct a survey. This survey delved into understanding not just how satisfied users are with their systems but also how these TMS platforms work alongside other technologies and what role AI and machine learning are starting to play in the logistics field.
Find out the four reasons shippers initially purchase a Transportation Management System (TMS) and the three reasons why the planning and optimization capabilities of TMSs are underutilized.
Here are the four factors that can be used to identify those shippers that will truly benefit from this capability. A shipper does not need to have all 4 attributes, but they do need to have both a minimum freight spend and at least one other characteristic to make optimization beneficial.
ORTEC’s latest contributions to the logistics field spotlight their move to predictive analytics and specialized cloud solutions. This installment of the JBF Sentiment Rating series provides analysis that sheds light on how these capabilities could significantly improve routing efficiency and customization for North American operators.
Jumping right into selecting a vendor without performing the necessary internal due diligence is like releasing code without testing — it will almost always lead to disappointing, if not catastrophic, results.
Over the past 20 years there’s been a great deal of change in logistics technology. While many problems from 20 years ago still persist, new areas of opportunities have arisen, including integrated fleet management, real-time visibility and event management, parcel management and TMS interoperability with adjacent processes including warehouse and yard management. These areas hold the potential to unlock even more value as freight logistics continues to evolve.
Far too many shippers implemented TMS technology but have not realized the full ROI estimated at the onset of the project. In many instances, the grand vision, which often includes the unification of all logistics processes under a single system, was never realized as the reality of how hard it is to transform one’s operations became apparent.
