As the transportation sector becomes more layered and complex, transportation management solutions must respond in kind with more advanced in-app functionality and logistics planning. Most standalone transportation management systems are too limited to encapsulate the tiered complexity of an international, multi-segment supply chain, but technology that can integrate and converge transportation with other supply chain functions, such as order management, set the new industry standard.
What you look for in a transportation management system should vary depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to:
Distribution area (regional or global)
Network size
Existing operations for enterprise resource planning (ERP)
Communications with in-house and/or 3PL Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)

Control tower technology was introduced to provide greater visibility and more efficient collaboration within the evolving ecosystem. Over time, the technology has adapted from a narrow solution that spanned transportation management to a more comprehensive and holistic capability to fit the growing demand for wider system integration, efficiency, intelligence, and speed. Here are a few of the most exciting and critical supply chain control tower trends in 2022 that help build flexibility, agility, and resilience.
