Q: At what volumes will I need a Transport Management System?

These 4 key signs of a business’ growth will indicate it’s time to use a TMS: 1. Can major carriers work with you? If you’re heading into carrier contract negotiations with manually crunched spreadsheets and outdated forecasts, there’s a good chance it’s time to evaluate a TMS for parcel shipping. 2. You need more staff to handle increasing shipping volumes. 3. You’re getting an increased number of calls to customer service. 4. You’re struggling to allocate shipping costs. With a TMS for parcel shipping, finance teams have access to real-time, accurate shipping data down to the stock keeping unit (SKU) level, improving reporting, forecasting and enabling them to create better disciplines around shipping spend.
