Transportation management system (TMS) integration with existing enterprise resource planning (ERP), warehouse management system (WMS) or web based storefront, can be a very beneficial thing for many companies wanting more robust visibility, functionality and control over their logistics operations. With an effective TMS integration, businesses are able to streamline the workflow of a customer service team, shipping team and all other teams with pricing, shipping and even logistics spend responsibilities.
Some companies see new TMS implementation as a lengthy and difficult process likely to intrude on day-to-day business operations, but with knowledgeable and attentive client support, the execution will be a simple and educational experience for a company’s internal logistics team, that will provide minimal disruptions to daily activity.
