The TMS is evolving into a logistics platform that can handle all nodes, all geographies and all transportation nodes. It's already talking to other applications in the supply chain, like warehouse management, order management and ERP systems.

The best results are achieved by using the right amount of effort in the right place at the right time. And this right amount is usually less than we think we need.
