This document summarizes a transportation management solution (TMS) that fully automates the logistics process, provides visibility and control across all shipments and modes, and leverages existing carrier contracts and infrastructure to reduce costs. Key benefits include hard savings of 15-20% on logistics spend through consolidated freight volumes and competitive bidding, as well as soft savings from reduced errors and expedited shipments. Implementation typically takes 30-60 days for initial savings and 90 days for full savings potential. The TMS requires no upfront IT costs and training can be completed remotely.
