Last week, we dug into why an advanced TMS is a game-changer for the CPG segment. Now, let’s chat about why it’s a big deal for Third-Party Logistics (3PL) companies. In their world, having a top-notch Transportation Management System (TMS) is like having a superhero on speed dial. Think valuable data, heightened visibility, automated processes, and reductions in cost!
First of all, with the right TMS, companies gain valuable data on what’s happening across the board with all their clients. We’re talking easy access to shipment history and status with real-time data at their fingertips. 3PLs can play the strategic game, making smart moves backed by rock-solid insights.
Now, here’s the scoop — TMSs aren’t just about data. Enhanced visibility of shipments allows 3PLs to easily track freight using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) through activity reports and internal quality systems. Get the 4–1–1 on your freight through real-time interactive reports and gain the power to dive deep into your data. Plus, you can identify benchmarks, game plans, and cost reduction opportunities during Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs).
As your business expands, advanced automation becomes your best friend. No more manual invoicing and reporting. That means fewer errors and more time saved. Plus, 3PLs can handle bigger shipment loads without having to hire extra hands.
And last but not least, let’s talk cash. With an advanced TMS, 3PLs are able to master cost efficiency. Features like route optimization allow users to choose the most budget-friendly route. Consolidation allows for less packaging and fewer loads — basically any shipper’s dream. With these features, 3PLs are able to lower costs without sacrificing efficiency.
A good TMS offers a centralized space to manage all things transportation. 3PLs are able to tap into actionable data and insights allowing them to gain enhanced visibility and automation. The best part? Getting to save some serious cash. All of this adds up to a more efficient process and improved profitability.
