We’ve talked about the importance of a TMS, but now let’s get more specific: why is an advanced TMS important to companies in the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) market?
For one, achieving cost efficiency becomes easier than ever with an advanced TMS. Not only can CPG companies better manage and control their freight, but they are also leveraging advanced features that save them money. By choosing from a range of routes, they can take the shortest and most feasible one. By selecting the carrier that best accommodates their business needs, they are able to choose the most reasonably priced carrier. TMSs allow users to consolidate and optimize shipments based on weight, fragility, storage, etc., which means less money is being wasted on extra packaging, loads, and trips.
TMSs allow your company to gain and maintain high visibility of freight at all times. During times of high seasonal demands, it is especially important to ensure that shelves are stocked to provide consumers with their highly demanded products. To help with this, the right TMS will provide advanced tracking features that allow users to view their freight’s location in transit, in real time, so that supply is received in time for the rush of the season.
Along with this, TMSs allow your company to gain and maintain customer satisfaction. What is a company without happy customers? A TMS can effectively manage your shipments like no other, which is equally important during the times like the holidays. The right TMS facilitates meeting delivery timelines and ensuring stock is fulfilled which directly impacts customer loyalty and retention.
Minimizing the risk of delays or damages during transit is a priority. A TMS that aids in mitigating risks, such as ensuring compliance with regulations, proper handling of fragile goods, and compliance with transportation laws, just to name a few. Safety measures are always important to have in place and having a TMS that helps take care of this, is one less stressor to think about.
Finally, an advanced TMS can effectively streamline operations throughout your supply chain. The CPG market deals with tight schedules and heavy demand. As consumers’ ever-changing demands grow, companies must be able to adjust just as quickly. To aid these growing demands, it’s important that a company has access to robust analytics tools so that data is cleansed and analyzed properly and companies can ultimately make more informed decisions. Along with this, being able to seamlessly integrate systems is a plus when dealing with complex supply chains. Route optimization can reduce transit time which is very beneficial in today’s rapidly evolving world.
An effective Transportation Management System is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. This is especially true for the dynamic and competitive nature of the Consumer Packaged Goods market.
