Today's transportation management systems (TMS) are available on different software platforms, from on premise (installed) to hosted to SaaS (Software-as-a-Service). The growing preference of industry experts and transportation 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 software or hosted transportation management systems.
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 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. 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 On-Demand TMS® apart: true SaaS technology and the LeanLogistics Transportation Network.
