The market for Transportation Management Systems (TMS) appears to be heating up again, according to data released this week by ARC Advisory Group.

The TMS market has “bounced back” after the global recession, growing faster than the rate of inflation in 2010, with significant growth forecasted through 2015. SCS agrees with the finding as we are finding that TMS multitenant solutions that leverage the network remain a key growth driver for our solution.

ARC maintains that transportation is inherently a “multi-partner collaborative endeavor,” with networked-style solutions such as SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) leveraging multitenant architecture used to facilitate things like:
* high-quality electronic communication with partners;
* quicker on-boarding of new partners;
* enabling efficiencies in transportation procurement;
* improvement in freight audit and pay; and
* the ability to leverage data from the network to provide benchmarking data.

“The primary advantages of multitenant networking solutions are that the data cleansing issues largely disappear,” Banker said in an interview. “Secondly, the network can be leveraged.  If you are dissatisfied with a carrier on a lane and need a new one, there is a good chance that carrier is in the network and you can start quickly tendering loads via EDI without having to set up one to one connections.  Most companies don’t want to be in the EDI data cleansing business.”

Banker noted that the sectors that are leveraging TMS more so than others are third-party logistics organizations.
