Manual planning and legacy TMS platforms both carry hidden costs: hours lost to replanning, IT backlogs and plans that go stale the moment a delivery slips. On top of that, traditional systems typically require a long, expensive implementation process. This whitepaper puts data behind that cost, and a path past it.
Trimble partnered with Adelante SCM to survey supply chain and logistics executives across manufacturing, retail and distribution. The research covers current planning practices, what drives the complexity, where planning breaks down and how automation and AI will reshape transportation planning over the next three to five years.
You'll also discover how Shell uses Transporeon's agile TMS to:
- Keep one source of truth, with transaction data visible and consistent for the company and its carriers.
- Run daily, auditable freight costing, replacing manual Excel-based monthly closings.
- Give real-time visibility to everyone in the chain, with ETAs refreshed every five minutes, cutting delivery-status calls and boosting satisfaction.
Read the whitepaper for an evidence-based assessment of where transport planning is headed, and what it means for you. Find out how agile planning delivers cost optimization without a lengthy, resource-heavy implementation.
