Based on solutions and services, the report categorizes the global TMS
market into the following segments:
-
Cloud solutions
-
Maintenance solutions
-
Professional services
-
On-premises solutions
Cloud solutions
The cloud
services segment of TMS occupies the majority share of
the global TMS market with a share of over 60% (2016 figures). The
cost-effectivness and flexibility provided by cloud TMS services are
the main drivers pushing the growth of this segment. With the market
environment for software
as a service (SaaS)-based TMS solutions continuing to bloom, the
adoption of this service is becoming more prevalent. The increasing
demand has set off an intense competition among vendors, leading to the
introduction of advanced and reliable on-demand software.
"Cloud TMS solutions also include managed transportation services.
This arrangement would give firms the centralized view of the
transportation function and provide a base from which continuous
enhancements can be initiated. Some of the important benefits provided
by the use of TMS managed services are improvement in service levels
such as on-time delivery by more than 30%, an increase in transportation
asset utilization by around 10%, and an increase in transportation
capacity by 30%," says Amit Sharma, one of the lead analysts at
Technavio for enterprise
application research.
Maintenance solutions
"The global maintenance services market was valued at USD 233 million
in 2016 and is forecast to reach USD 240 million by 2021. Various
companies are looking to reduce the burden of TMS maintenance services
by outsourcing these services to third party companies who specialize in
providing these solutions," says Amit.
Since there are many companies in this market space, the services are
priced competitively. These private, third-party companies have trained
crew who thoroughly understand the business, thus saving training and
procurement costs to the companies availing the maintenance solutions.
Professional services
Many big and small companies do not have in-house experts to
troubleshoot their front-line technical support. Professional services
firms employ trained experts who provide technical support to such
companies and keep their operations running smoothly without any
glitches. They also provide services to help the companies recover from
unanticipated front-line problems. The analysts at Technavio forecast
this market segment to be valued at USD 205 million by the end of the
market forecast period.
On-premises solutions
On-premises TMS solutions are a consolidated form of standalone
applications wrapped in a package that supports almost the entire
transportation management business. This market segment is forecast to
be valued at USD 152 million by 2021. This TMS segment is struggling to
keep up as they still employ the traditional legacy architectural
design, which makes the solution expensive and creates transport
management implications.
Seeing the decreasing demand for the on-premise solutions, new vendors
created cloud-based TMS solutions based on the SaaS (News - Alert) model to cut down
implementation costs, reduce upfront fees, and lower the overall support
effort required by customers. Therefore, the global TMS market by
on-premises software solutions is forecast to grow at a very slow rate
during the forecast period.
The top vendors highlighted by Technavio's research analysts in this
