Your TMS was handling 500 shipments per day just fine last quarter. Now you're hitting 2,000 daily and response times crawl to minutes instead of seconds. Sound familiar? The TMS scalability problems you're experiencing aren't technical glitches—they're capacity walls. As
Your TMS workflow automation has more potential to fail in the first 90 days than any other critical period. Only 26% of organizations report being ready for automation implementation, yet 91% plan to expand automation investments. The difference between those who succeed and those who struggle? A systematic approach to
Your TMS went live six months ago. The initial rollout looked successful—carriers were connected, rates loaded, labels printed. But now you're dealing with webhook backlogs, users working around the system, and performance complaints from operations. Sound familiar? Up to 40 percent of TMS implementations fail by some
Multi-modal shipments create tracking nightmares that single-mode TMS configurations simply can't handle. Container-to-truck handoffs fail 23% of the time because your ocean freight API speaks different languages than your trucking carrier API. Rail-to-road transitions? Even worse when port delays cascade through every downstream mode. You need a TMS
When your FedEx rate lookup fails at 3:42 PM on Black Friday, over 90% of organizations report downtime costs exceeding $300,000 per hour. Every minute spent troubleshooting carrier API authentication errors costs your operations team revenue and customer satisfaction. The issue manifested as intermittent 401 responses during peak
Your TMS analytics dashboard shows perfect numbers. On-time delivery sits at 98%, carrier spend looks optimized, and route efficiency metrics hit industry benchmarks. Data quality issues directly impact business decisions and operational efficiency. From inaccurate decisions to failed audits, the cost of poor-quality data compounds quickly across operations, analytics, and
Poor TMS data quality costs more than you think. Poor data quality costs businesses an average of $12.9 million per year, and reduces overall shipping costs up to 15% annually when addressed properly. Your routing algorithms fail when product dimensions are wrong. Your carrier contracts become disputes when BOL
Your TMS data migration just failed. Three months of planning, hundreds of thousands invested, and now you're facing Monday morning with broken rate calculations, missing customer records, and a warehouse team that can't print labels. Sound familiar? You're not alone. Research shows that 30%
Your TMS shows a green checkmark for every shipment. Your dashboard claims 98% on-time performance. Then you get the call: three critical shipments disappeared somewhere between Chicago and Denver, and your biggest customer wants answers you don't have. Most TMS platforms promise real-time visibility but deliver something closer
When Starbucks fell victim to the Blue Yonder ransomware attack in November 2024, baristas couldn't get paid and schedules turned to chaos. The coffee giant had to revert to manual calculations for employee pay. Meanwhile, Morrisons attributed slower Christmas sales to the disruption. These weren't small
Too many companies botch migration because they're in a hurry, and it can cause significant problems. Without effective change management, businesses may experience resistance from employees, operational disruptions, and a decrease in productivity. Your TMS cloud migration went live three weeks ago. Users are logged in, carriers are
Your TMS operations team needs to deploy AI autonomous agents - the question isn't if, but when and how. Only 37% of organizations have deeply integrated AI and machine learning in their TMS today, yet 61% anticipate fully autonomous Agentic AI within five years. 48% of organizations currently
On November 18, 2025 at 11:20 UTC, Cloudflare's network began experiencing significant failures to deliver core network traffic, and for TMS operations teams worldwide, Monday morning became a nightmare scenario you train for but hope never happens. The service disruption resulted in many major platforms, including X
Your TMS migration just failed spectacularly. Orders are stuck, carriers can't access shipment data, and your phone won't stop ringing. You have 48 hours to get everything back online before the business impact becomes catastrophic. This isn't uncommon. Research shows that 60% of firms
Your TMS cloud migration went live two weeks ago. The carrier integrations work, shipments flow through, and your team celebrated. Then you see the monthly cloud bill and performance metrics. Something's not right. Over 60% of cloud TMS migrations underperform in their first six months, despite successful technical
A transportation management system security breach isn't a matter of if, but when. As ransomware, phishing tactics, and data breaches become increasingly sophisticated, firms must prioritize secure transportation management systems as a fundamental component of safe operations. Recent vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-59735 in AndSoft's e-TMS software, which
Manual contract management still dominates 87% of carrier agreements, and 95% of organizations don't have full visibility of contractual obligations, leading to massive financial loss. Your TMS contract automation setup can solve this, but only if you execute the implementation correctly. TMS platforms increasingly rely on predictive contract
Your TMS rate engine stops working. Rates vanish from the workbench. The phone starts ringing. Sound familiar? You've got 45 minutes before the afternoon shipping cutoff, and your team needs answers fast. Most TMS problems stem from quick fixes that actually make things worse, but rate engine failures
Three weeks before your TMS go-live, you discover that FedEx's rate API returns empty responses for 15% of your shipments. Your carrier integration testing showed green across the board just two months ago. Sound familiar? Up to 40 percent of implementations fail by some estimates, and most of
Suboptimal dispatch planning decisions cost American truck fleets between $150 and $200 billion every year. You read that right. While your team debates the latest TMS features, billions drain from the industry through one persistent problem: dispatchers either rely on tribal knowledge or struggle with optimization tools that don'
Your TMS webhook monitoring doesn't need to be complicated. A simple 15-minute daily check can catch integration failures before they cascade into operational nightmares. One eCommerce platform struggled with inconsistent order notifications due to undetected webhook failures, where they later identified a significant percentage of lost notifications due
Most TMS teams go into go-live thinking the hardest work is behind them. Wrong. More than 50% of TMS adopters see positive ROI within 18 months, but that leaves a substantial portion of companies wrestling with disappointing results. The month after go-live determines which group you'll land in.
The CO2 communication obligation is no longer a future constraint: it has been applicable since January 1, 2025, with financial penalties at stake. Since January 1, 2025, a new obligation has radically transformed the daily operations of carriers and distributors: communicating the CO2 emissions of their transport services to shippers.
Your TMS implementation went live two weeks ago. The system works. The data is flowing. Your carrier integrations are solid. But warehouse supervisors are still printing Excel sheets, customer service keeps bypassing rate shopping features, and your transport manager just asked when the "real system" goes live. Sound
