UltraShipTMS Releases TMS Software ROI Calculator and Methodology White Paper
Fair Lawn, NJ (PRWEB) May 05, 2014 -- After months of research and development, UltraShipTMS has released an instructive new white paper entitled, Calculating Savings and Return for an Enterprise Transportation Optimization and Automation Solution. The document helps answer the perennial question posed by shippers considering a TMS solution: How much will TMS software really help me save and how long will it take to pay for itself? Using an actual business case study as an example, the paper details the steps shippers must take to arrive at an accurate estimate of savings and return using their own transportation program data. The online savings calculator provides a free and easy tool for shippers to run their own calculations based on the methodology detailed in the paper.
“How much value can be driven by a TMS, and how quickly initial costs can be recouped are the two questions we’re confronted with most frequently by prospective customers during product demonstrations,” says Ultra President, Nicholas Carretta. “We wanted to generate a replicable calculation methodology using impartial, third-party savings range estimates so that organizations could run the numbers on their own before deciding whether to further pursue TMS.” Independently derived average savings ranges for common transportation management functions were graciously shared by ARC Research, a well-known industry analyst group.
Using the calculation methodology developed in the paper, UltraShipTMS then built an online calculation tool wherein users could input information about the current state of their transportation processes, shipping volume, transportation spend and a few other pieces of general information. Within moments, the calculator delivers a very accurate estimate of how much a shipper can save by implementing TMS and optimizer solutions.
