Transport Management System for the coming age

Hypothesis

Current TMS options

are complex, outdated

or lack the functionality

SME owners and their

customers need

Shortage of drivers

Most buyers only get a

TMS for their basic features

(and 1/4^th still use manual

Methods)

Stakes are rising –

economic recession,

corporate monopoly,

autonomous trucks etc.

Core Industry Issues

The UK market needs to remain agile and respond to changes by using (the right) technology to fill the gap

1 in 5 SMEs are currently using spreadsheet software to manage their transportation operations

Another 1 in 5 SMEs use a TMS program that is either too complex or lacks the functionality they need

Why now

Almost 40% of companies use an outdated TMS’ or none at all!
