Report overview
Segments covered: deployment, component, mode, end user.
The growth of this market is mainly driven by the replacement of spreadsheet and email based freight planning with systems that hold rates, tenders and shipment records in one place, the rising requirement to report transport emissions at shipment level against a published methodology, the acceptance of electronic freight data by authorities that removes paper from cross-border movements, and the extension of transportation management software from large shippers to mid-market shippers through subscription pricing. However, factors such as the implementation effort required to connect a transportation management system to order, warehouse and finance systems, the carrier and rate data quality that determines whether a deployment delivers savings, the shortage of staff able to configure and operate the software, and the reluctance of smaller shippers to commit to multi-year subscriptions are expected to restrain the growth of this market to some extent.

Expert perspectives
The value of a transportation management system sits in the carrier connections and rate data behind it rather than in the planning engine in front of it.
Customer perspectives
“In our industry the delivery window matters more than the rate, because a late load means a rejected delivery and a credit note.”
