One of the best ways to ensure shipping success is to enhance your ERP with a NetSuite TMS. This is the connection between NetSuite and your real-life shipping and fulfillment operation. NetSuite's ERP provides users with a ton of helpful tools to scale and grow their business while optimizing processes, but a best-in-class operation can only be realized when combined with a Smart Transportation Management System.
A NetSuite TMS is a transportation management system integration designed to enhance transportation and logistics processes for users. Modern Transportation Management Systems (TMS 2.0) allow companies to streamline and improve their workflow from order processing all the way to post-purchase customer service, tracking, returns and data.
As with all contemporary business software, the purpose is to provide added convenience to a specific process or set of processes. Word processing software replaced the typewriter and now cloud-based alternatives provide an even more convenient alternative. Manual business management was first replaced by enterprise resource planning systems and legacy transportation management systems. More recently, modern TMS extensions for cloud ERPs like NetSuite provide a truly optimized fulfillment structure. So how does a modern NetSuite TMS lead to success?
A Smart TMS:
TMS 2.0 systems allow NetSuite users to fully-optimize their shipping and fulfillment processes. Here's what they offer:
Choosing an integration that works with your favorite eCommerce and ERP platforms allows access to all of your information, rule-setting and reports from one dashboard. Fewer manual processes create a better opportunity for savings and earnings. ShipHawk's TMS 2.0 has helped companies save up to 25% on hard shipping costs and 50% or more on soft costs. These numbers are pretty incredible.
If you're wondering how one tool can help you save 1/4 of your shipping costs, think about it like this: Nearly every process is automated through the use of a transportation management system and TMS-powered insights are enough to rave about since they facilitate business growth that is driven by real data.
A NetSuite TMS provides users with a unique set of functions designed to help companies perfect their shipping strategies. Without it, many regular processes involved with retail fulfillment are more manual than they need to be.
