Modern TMS

Five Keys to Accelerated Growth with Modern TMS

In the modern workplace, Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials work together to manage their daily lives through smartphones and tablets. Everything you can think of is more straightforward and “on the go” with smartphones. This includes video games, social media, mobile apps for health, weather, stocks, news, shopping, and more. So why should TMS software be any different from what we use daily? 

Many businesses continue to use old-fashioned technology and struggle to integrate modern software that offers competitive advantages. With a modern-age workforce distributed among offices, home offices, and client sites in 2022 and beyond, the workplace appears very different from what it used to be. Finding operational efficiency and savings is essential for shipping and logistics organizations. This is possible thanks to cutting-edge B2B technology from Turvo that functions and seems like consumer technology.

This article lists five essential factors that successful transportation businesses use to leverage technology to boost growth. Discover why the companies can’t disregard the IT or the current digital transformation if they want to compete with other freight brokers, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-PLs, and shippers.

Cloud-based Services are the Future

Modern companies can operate without investing upfront in expensive IT infrastructure and information technology with Cloud-based services. Software as a Service (also known as SaaS) is a service given through the servers hosted in the cloud. It is currently the most preferred choice among CTOs. The cloud provides an environment that is both safer and more secure than any infrastructure that can be created or managed by small to medium-sized businesses. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are among the most well-known cloud providers, and they are also among the companies that have constructed the most resilient cloud networks. These cloud networks, which promise an uptime of up to 99.99 percent, are what make the world go round.

Collaboration is the Key

Every step of the order-to-cash process in a supply chain needs to be connected to every other participant using a fully integrated technology. Because of this, it is necessary to have an open architecture that makes it possible for the supply chain partners to interact with consumer and company data within the permissive limits of the system in a smooth manner. Through digital transformation and a modern TMS, it is possible to automate processes, boost operational efficiencies, and speed up transaction times. All this is possible while still keeping the costs in check.

Visibility Through Digitalization

A company’s ability to engage in proactive risk management and continuous improvement is possible by gaining visibility into its supply chain. The company may manage by exception through modern systems like WMS or TMS solutions. These technologies disclose real-time problems in your supply chain. Route matching, contract execution, driver performance, and turnaround times are some factors that can significantly impact a logistics manager’s performance and a company’s ability to derive value from the supply chain.

Hiring New Talent is Tough with Old Tech

The findings of a study that Forrester carried out suggest that by 2030, Millennials and Generation Z would account for 74 percent of the working population. These people had never experienced a time when they did not have access to mobile devices or the internet. They were born and raised in a digital age. To win with such a workforce, logistics companies must provide an experience comparable to customers to their employees. They should accommodate this new worker as per their expectations to maintain higher retention rates and a competitive edge. 

Mobility Is a Necessity

Today, anything can be done on a mobile device, from purchasing airline tickets and banking to watching movies and streaming content. The increased productivity of mobile devices improves both personal and professional lives. The quality of the user interface is directly related to the level of satisfaction the user derives from their time spent using the product. In the past, when business applications were developed, the end user’s experience was barely considered. But with the popularity of mobile apps and similar ecosystems in tabs and laptops, customer experience should be paramount. Better business outcomes are possible through digitizing end-to-end processes, enhancing product design, and emphasizing the user experience. Drivers who use the Turvo Driver App have access to a significant benefit, which is the ability to upload and share documents in real time.
