Top 20 supply chain software suppliers

摘要

Whether they're getting shipment alerts, managing warehousing inventory, doing demand forecasting, or using analytics to make good decisions, you can bet the warehouse and logistics personnel managing these tasks are using software to get the job done. Be it a transportation management system (TMS) for connecting to carriers, a warehouse management system (WMS) for orchestrating inventory within the four walls, or a broader enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that incorporates many functions, the technology that drives the supply chain is getting stronger, better and faster every year. As supply chain becomes a bigger priority for companies of all sizes, the need for software that supports and streamlines this important business component has also grown. With e-tailers like Amazon pushing the envelope on same- and next-day shipping, e-com-merce sales skyrocketing-consumers spent $504.6 billion online last year, a number that's expected to hit $735 billion by 2023-and many companies still using old or manual-based systems to manage warehousing, fulfillment and distribution, the supply chain management (SCM) sector continues to climb steadily every year.
