The new year could bring a blizzard of disruption to the supply chain on multiple fronts. Threatened tariffs could affect international maritime trade, cross-border trucking, and rail freight. And trade again could come to a standstill at ports on the U.S. East and Gulf coasts if the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) cannot come to terms on a contract and dockworkers walk off the job — this time for perhaps far longer than the three-day work stoppage in October.
Modern-day supply chain problems require the most sophisticated transportation management system (TMS) available. Owlery has proven how critical a modern TMS can be for shippers in today’s volatile world. With its innovative, integrated, and user-focused platform, Owlery is transforming transportation management to meet the challenges of modern supply chains.
This article explores how Owlery is redefining the TMS experience, focusing on automation, visibility, and actionable insights.
The supply chain has become increasingly volatile and interconnected, so transparency throughout the entire supply chain has become more important than ever. Shippers that do not take advantage of a modern TMS face:
A TMS should simplify logistics, not add complexity. An essential TMS should provide seamless connectivity with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, order management systems (OMSs), and other key logistics tools.
A TMS that proves indispensable takes an industry-specific approach, with features tailored for mid-market consumer packaged goods (CPG), cold chain, and food and beverage companies.
Owlery does that and more with a holistic TMS for all modern shippers’ needs.
Shippers that utilize Owlery’s modern TMS are transforming their logistics workflows and reaping untold benefits, including:
There are plenty of other TMSs on the market. Some have been around — and changed little — for decades. Owlery has emerged as the wisest choice, offering flexibility for mid-market businesses while focusing on usability and intuitive design.
