As we've reported extensively, Transportation Management Systems (TMS) continue to enjoy very strong market growth and adoption.

Nonetheless, by some accounts, only 20-30% of even large companies have implemented strong packaged TMS solutions.

But recent research by Forrester finds that isn't for a lack of benefits. In a recent report on TMS, it says that on average, companies deploying new TMS technology expect savings of 8% in terms of total freight spend - a sizable number for almost any company.

The graphic below, taken from the Forrester report, takes the benefits of TMS a bit further, looking at how TMS adopters described both quantitative and qualitative benefits from the systems.

An important new wrinkle is the growth in on-demand TMS solutions, which are becoming increasingly popular, though traditional deployments are still the majority.
