Today's transportation management systems (TMS) are available on different software platforms, from on premise (installed) to hosted to SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) or cloud TMS. The growing preference of industry experts and logistics professionals is toward true SaaS TMS software, a multi-tenant architecture in which all users operate from a single instance of software. This centrally located software instance is highly secure and offers significant benefits over on-premise logistics management software or hosted supply chain solutions.
Why is a true SaaS TMS so important? In addition to allowing uniform instant upgrades, multi-tenant architecture easily scales to quickly adapt technology based on changing business needs, offers rapid implementation and a faster ROI. Additionally, a true SaaS shipper TMS environment empowers collaboration since all users are working from a shared set of real-time data — the LeanLogistics Transportation Network.
The LeanLogistics Transportation Network empowers companies to improve overall supply chain management in a collaborative environment. Network TMS members leverage technologies through a common platform; shippers join forces to optimize loads; carriers reduce empty miles and their carbon footprint — the larger the network, the more opportunity for collaboration. That is what sets LeanLogistics LeanTMS™ apart: true SaaS TMS technology and the LeanLogistics Transportation Network.
