Your TMS configuration bottlenecks are costing you more than failed shipments. When data flows break down, 70% of your day-2 operational failures trace back to three systematic issues: integration conflicts, data mapping errors, and workflow misalignments. Most teams spend months firefighting symptoms while the root cause sits in configuration settings
Your TMS handles thousands of transactions daily. Each rate request, label generation, and carrier API call represents a decision point where AI agents can either operate smoothly within boundaries or exceed their intended scope. Recent data shows 88% of organizations experienced confirmed or suspected AI agent security incidents this year,
Your TMS-ERP integration failed again last weekend. ERP implementation failure statistics show that 73% of discrete manufacturing ERP projects fail to meet their objectives, with ERP failure rates between 55% and 75%. But here's something worse: average cost overruns reach 215%. That's not just delayed rollouts—
When Jaguar Land Rover paused production on 1 September 2025, and by 22 September it had caused production lines at Jaguar Land Rover to cease all production for three weeks, with staff told to stay at home, TMS cybersecurity incident response became a boardroom priority overnight. But here's
Your TMS just went live. The champagne bottles are empty, the project team is celebrating, and your phone starts ringing. Welcome to hypercare, where 80% of post-go-live operational failures happen because teams lack a structured TMS hypercare protocol. Here's the 90-day framework that prevents most of them. The
Your TMS promised real-time visibility across all shipments. Three months post-implementation, you're still discovering missed exceptions hours after they occur, carriers are reporting delivery delays you never saw coming, and your operations team is back to making frantic phone calls to track down shipments. You're not
Your finance team just discovered three weeks into your TMS migration that carrier connections are failing at random intervals. Because TMS and EDI systems are deeply connected, even minor mismatches between the two systems can lead to costly disruptions. EDI issues during a TMS migration can usually be traced back
Your TMS configuration just went live two weeks ago. The team is buried under manual workarounds, carrier communications are backing up, and you're watching your 75% automation target slip away. Sound familiar? Most TMS implementations follow the same pattern: budget constraints and cost overruns often pose a challenge,
You've spent months hearing about the original January 2026 deadline for FSMA 204 compliance. The enforcement deadline for the Food Traceability Rule has been extended from January 20, 2026 to July 20, 2028. But while everyone's processing this 30-month extension, TMS teams are stuck in a
Your TMS security incident response playbook just became your most valuable asset. Cyber incidents in logistics jumped 61% in 2025, with cybersecurity incidents rising 48% over five years and major cyberattacks surging from 12 incidents in 2020 to 60 projected in 2025. The average data breach in transport costs $4.
Last month, a German automotive supplier faced €47,000 in EU ETS penalties because their TMS carbon tracking setup missed embedded emissions data from three key transport corridors. The compliance officer called it "death by a thousand configuration cuts" — small setup mistakes that snowballed into audit failures. You&
When shipping teams at a major European packaging manufacturer implemented their new AI-powered TMS last January, the promise was clear: 30% faster routing decisions, 25% fewer manual tasks, and smarter carrier selection that adapts to real-time market conditions. Six months later, dispatchers were still overriding 80% of AI recommendations, operations
