You don’t have to look far to find savings, value and improvements driven by transportation management systems (TMS). Best-of-breed TMS solutions (like Manhattan’s TMS) are game changers and deliver a range of competitive advantages for companies of all shapes, sizes and levels of complexity. They are more powerful, scalable, connectable, affordable and justifiable than ever before, with rapid implementation timeframes as well.

With over 90% of world trade transported by sea, it is not surprising that the emissions generated by the shipping industry makes it one of the world’s largest producers of greenhouse gases (GHG). Quite unique when it comes to emissions regulations, the marine industry has multiple organisations that regulate those emissions. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) is perhaps the most well-known, however the European Union (EU) and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) amongst others, all have different legislative requirements.

Today’s supply chains are driven by the competitive tenets of e-commerce – speed, accuracy and access to a broad inventory – all delivered at low cost. This mandate has driven distribution centers to become increasingly complex and dependent on automation systems, while raising the stakes to threaten critical damage in the event of cost overruns or project delays. Concentrating supplier responsibility for these automation projects with a single, lead provider simplifies vendor management and accountability, enabling companies to approach a single point of contact and avoid juggling delays and charges from multiple contractors.

The global logistics industry of the 21st century has been defined by large global Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) investing in efficiency. One of the main drivers of this has been a slow but steady deployment of software driven task automation; the replacement of repetitive tasks traditionally carried out by an employee with software that automatically performs those functions. These investments have dramatically improved the efficiency of global LSPs and forever reshaped the ways in which they move freight.

The vision and industry initiatives working toward what is known as the “physical Internet” started with the concept of transforming the transportation industry operating model into an open logistics system, where goods in the supply chain flow as freely and cost-effectively as data across the Internet. Regardless of whether the vision is realized completely or only partially, global supply chains will continue to evolve toward synchronizing all aspects of supply and demand, from shipments to capacity.

The COVID-19 pandemic was a test of supply chain resiliency and most organizations fell short. Before COVID-19, global supply chains ticked a lot of boxes: lower labor and operating costs, wider product ranges and greater reach to new markets. But the vulnerabilities and visible failures of global supply chains during COVID-19 were there for all to see. Lead times expanded exponentially. Manufacturing capacity stalled. Ports became congested. Transportation ground to a halt. Excessive reliance on one location or one supplier caused a domino effect of expensive downtime along the line
