Given the cost pressure that organizations have been under recently, the adoption of Transportation Management System (TMS) software has been strong.

The number of companies that are utilizing a TMS has risen from 28% two years ago to 38% today. It is remarkable that still only 38% of companies have a commercial TMS package which shows that there plenty of growth potential for the software vendors.  The volatility of fuel prices and the desire to reduce costs has spurred investment in TMS solutions which can reduce freight costs from 5%-30%.
