An orchestra consists of musicians playing specific instruments that create a unified, singular melody. However, if even the most skilled violinist chooses to ignore the musical score, it disrupts the harmony and affects the entire performance.
Likewise, the most efficient supply chains must have the right instruments (this is your software solution) and all parties must follow the same sheet music (that’s your transportation plan).
To achieve a synchronized supply chain, the first step is selecting the right tools. Having best-in-class technologies, like a truly modern Transportation Management Solution (TMS), builds a solid foundation for your company’s supply chain. However, to deliver the greatest value and outstanding customer experiences, cutting-edge system integrations are critical.
The good news is that there are some great technologies that support advanced system integrations. When evaluating the right system for your company, consider the following questions:
Does the system require coding?
If the integration tool requires extensive coding, odds are your costs will increase as more IT resources are needed. This can also add time to the implementation process. There are systems available that can be adopted quickly and easily regardless of the size of your company.
Are there pre-built connections?
Pre-built connections give supply chain managers access to various common platforms, which makes it possible to leverage information that already exists. This eliminates extra steps and ensures a streamlined process.
Is the system designed for the supply chain industry?
With multiple modes of transportation, a litany of regulatory requirements, and an ever-changing trade environment, the supply chain industry is no doubt a unique one. It’s best to utilize technology that is expertly built for this industry. This adds a whole new dimension of competence to your company’s supply chain.
By asking the right questions and selecting the most suitable technology for your company’s needs, you set the stage for an efficient supply chain. Follow the sheet music and play all the right notes, and you just might receive a standing ovation.
