如何在控制成本的情况下找到非常合适的运力？这一个问题是几乎困扰着每一位甲方物流人员。大型的第三方物流公司服务好，线路覆盖也较为全面，但价格往往比较贵；而引入新的中小型的物流公司，虽然能有一定的价格优势，但由于没有过往合作的参考，会增加操作成本和操作风险。

oTMS AS THE ONLY CHINESE VENDOR COVERED IN MAGIC QUADRANT REPORT

SHANGHAI, CHINA – MAY 2, 2017: oTMS, a leader in clouding and connected SaaS transport management system in China, today announced that Gartner, Inc., the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company, has listed oTMS as a “notable vendors” in its 2017 Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems* report. oTMS is the first and the only China-based company covered in this Gartner research.

“We are excited to be the first China-based TMS vendor included in Gartner report and have them recognize that highest growth will come from Asia. This is what we experience, as Chinese market and customers are maturing and no longer accept manual processes” said Mirek Dabrowski, oTMS, CEO and co-founder.

According to Gartner, “The overall market size for supply chain execution (SCE) applications is estimated to have grown at an annual rate of 13% to $3.9 billion during 2016. Within SCE, transportation management systems is estimated to have generated 30% of the market spend.

Factors such as the need to reduce costs, and improve productivity, efficiency and customer service are driving the growth of the market through 2021. The Americas region is expected to continue to lead the global TMS market, followed by EMEA, with the APAC region expected to have the largest growth.”

“Traditionally, the implementation of a TMS solution was a long and complex project. Shippers’ and 3PL providers’ expectations around the implementation have changed dramatically, especially with the advent of multitenant cloud TMS options. Customers now require these solutions to be implemented in a much shorter time frame (weeks instead of months), at a much lower cost and provide a much faster ROI. Over the past year, Gartner has witnessed more and more implementations that were accomplished in six to eight weeks. Traditionally, these would have taken six months or more.”
