In today’s volatile market, even a minor disruption can cripple your supply chain. IntelliTrans, offering multimodal transportation management solutions, discussed the pivotal role of transportation management systems in bolstering supply chain resilience through comprehensive risk-management strategies centralized around a single point of control. A centralized approach enables businesses to proactively identify and mitigate risks across all transportation modes, thereby enhancing overall operational stability and efficiency.
Brian Cupp, director of operations at IntelliTrans, stated, “Holistic transportation risk management, facilitated by a centralized system, empowers companies to address risks across diverse supply chain elements, including various transportation modes. The IntelliTrans Transportation Management System (TMS) exemplifies this approach, granting clients comprehensive insight into inventory movements across multiple transportation modes and warehouses. Having visibility ensures precise tracking of product locations throughout the transportation process and enables proactive inventory management to mitigate the risk of stockouts.”
The TMS seamlessly integrates and unifies data from suppliers, carriers, and logistics partners. This integration enables organizations to analyze and assess different transportation modes comprehensively, facilitating the identification of patterns and potential risks. Shippers benefit from real-time monitoring of transportation activities, enabling swift detection and response to disruptions or risks as they arise, thereby minimizing supply chain disruptions.
