Achieving Flexibility Across Modes, Carriers, and Markets

Transportation market gyrations and recurring supply chain disruptions are enough to keep anyone up at night. Now, more than ever, logistics teams need to manage the end-to-end journey of products with the flexibility to move and plan across transit modes, add new carriers, and take advantage of spot markets.

No technology system can solve a pandemic or other disruption, but best-in-class transportation management systems can improve cost control, agility, visibility, and execution. A cloud-based TMS is particularly well-suited for today’s challenges by providing a harmonized interface across transportation modes (and languages), built-in access to expansive carrier networks, and the added advantages of a shorter implementation timeline and faster time-to-value.

Download this white paper to learn why industry leaders are turning to the cloud to unify disparate transportation management systems.

Transportation Management Success Stories

Manufacturers, retailers, and other shippers have different TMS needs from freight forwarders and third-party logistics (3PL) providers. Similarly, not all shippers need tools to cover all modes of transportation in all markets. At e2open, we offer a comprehensive solution with added-value capabilities that will serve the needs of LSPs, but we also offer flexibility so that shippers can get just the tools they need. See how different companies across industries have achieved success with e2open TMS applications.
