A transportation management system (TMS) is a subset of supply chain management and is centered mainly on transportation and logistics. The increasing use of cloud computing technologies for managing supply chain activities is one of the major trends prevailing in the transportation management systems market. Cloud-based deployments generally need less customization and configuration. These two factors are driving down lifecycle costs, making web-based applications more attractive and appealing to shippers. Retailers across the globe have realized the importance of technology for achieving real-time visibility of operations to track products as they leave manufacturing facility and move through the supply chain. Thus, retailers are gradually moving away from platform-based solutions and are switching to cloud-based technologies. Cloud technologies enable retailers to process huge customer data faster, better match customer demand with a sales season, and offer personalized solutions. Thus, cloud technologies enable mass customization, which is of growing interest to both manufacturers and retailers.
The increasing preference for SaaS based TMS solutions is the major factor driving sales growth in the TMS market. Furthermore, the need to replace and update the existing and conventional transportation management systems is expected to support the demand for advanced transportation management solutions. However, lack of awareness among end-users coupled with high deployment cost is the major inhibitor to the growth of the market. Nevertheless, the integration of cloud computing and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies with supply chain management systems will offer healthy opportunities for the growth of TMS Market over the forecast period.
