Key Takeaways: Key WMS Trends for 2023

  • Jim Hoefflin is the CEO of Softeon, a global provider of supply chain solutions from planning through execution, anchored by a technology platform that has three pillars: Warehouse Management System (WMS), Warehouse Execution System (WES), and Distributed Order Management (DOM) system.
  • In the podcast interview Jim and Joe discussed key WMS trends for 2023:
    • Warehouse management systems (WMS) are continuing to move to cloud-based computing. Cloud computing is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer. Cloud computing has many advantages and technology leaders like Softeon architect their solutions to work seamlessly with the cloud. To learn more: Understanding WMS in the Cloud with Dan Gilmore
    • Increasing need for material handling integration. To run an effective and efficient warehouse, material handling systems are required, and your WMS must be able to easily integrate with those systems.
    • Rise of the warehouse execution systems (WES). WES are systems used in warehouses and distribution centers to manage and orchestrate the physical flow of products from receiving through shipping. WES organizes sequences and direct resources – both people and material handling systems necessary to move goods with a warehouse.
    • WMS as part of the broader digital supply chain. Supply chain practitioners are fast realizing the importance of WMS to their supply chains. Companies cannot succeed in meeting customers’ expectations in regard to delivery, quality, and consistency without a modern, fully integrated WMS. A WMS help companies to resolve several issues within their supply chain: accuracy, visibility, productivity, and error reduction are just a few.
  • Softeon’s broad suite of supply chain solutions improve customer’s operations and enhance their own customer’s satisfaction and experience.
  • Softeon’s three flagship products are 1.) Warehouse Management System (WMS), 2.) Warehouse Execution System (WES) and 3.) Distributed Order Management (DOM) System – solutions increasingly deployed together.
  • Many of the world’s best supply chains are powered by Softeon, including UPS Supply Chain Services, Sears Home Services, Duluth Trading Co., Saddlecreek Logistics, Lenovo, The Honest Company, Casey’s General Stores, Denso, Suncast, Sony, Universal Music Group, Optum Rx and many more.

  • Tive enables shippers and their carrier partners to move from reactive to proactive, which is so important when transporting medical/pharma shipments.

  • In the podcast interview, Joe and Matt discuss retail delivery trends and OneRail’s delivery fulfillment platform that has an integrated coast-to-coast courier network of 10 million drivers.
  • 3 retail delivery trends discussed:
    • The marketplace problem – the marketplaces that specialize in retail delivery and pick-up service (usually groceries) are not good for retailers because they:
      1. Define and own the customer relationship and all the data, instead of the retailer.
      2. Compete directly with the retailers and may entice customers to try other retailers.
      3. Charge fees that may cause the retailer to lose money on the transaction.
    • Ownership of the customer, customer data, and the customer experience is increasingly important and retailers need a delivery partner that will consistently execute the retailers vision, while respecting the retailer’s relationship with their customers.
    • To provide the customer experience for both the shipper (retailer) and the customer, a technology orchestration platform is a must have. OneRail’s orchestration platform connect shippers to vetted couriers in real time.
  • OneRail provides 100% visibility into the delivery flow, but it’s way more than a visibility platform. With the right mix of leading technology, dependable couriers, and a vigilant customer experience (CX) team, customers get the ability to change delivery outcomes in real time.
  • The OneRail logistics platform is modular, with the flexibility to serve as a standalone platform or integrate with an existing TMS.

  • Tive’s sensors provide the next level in visibility including:
    • Real-Time Data. Tive has developed a proprietary sensor + software solution enabling supply chain managers to get real-time insight into the location and condition of their shipments.

    • Configurable Location Alerts. Managers can configure customizable alerts to trigger notifications based on geofences or other significant events.
  • The Problem: When it comes to shipping critical materials or equipment, timing is everything. An early arrival may mean no one is available to receive the shipment, while a late arrival can result in field installation personnel billing for a wasted trip. Lack of coordination between the shipping and receiving teams leads to excessive cost, waste, and delay.
  • The Solution: Tive helps ensure that equipment arrives before the installer with real-time asset location tracking. With precise insight into the location and expected arrival of critical goods, including notifications if the shipment is not proceeding according to schedule, managers can cut waste and improve efficiency along complex, interdependent supply chains.
  • Tive provides Flexible, scalable solutions bringing end-to-end visibility to your supply chain.
  • Tive provides solutions for the following supply chain problem areas:
    • Location Tracking for High-Value Goods
    • Chemicals Condition Monitoring

About Brittany Traylor

Brittany Traylor is the Founder and CEO of TraylorTranspo, an asset-based freight brokerage that streamlines the logistics function and delivers a superior customer experience using consumer-grade freight tech (Turvo). Prior to launching her own company in 2021, Brittany was an owner-operator for over 5 years. During that time, Brittany drove dry van, flat bed, and over-dimensional loads all over the lower 48 states. As a driver, she gained first-hand insights into the challenges facing both truck drivers and shippers. When she founded her own company, Brittany committed to building a better brokerage, with a real connection to both drivers and shippers. Brittany was raised in the foster care system in Germany and moved to the USA as an adult so her success hasn’t come easily. With the goal of paying it forward, Traylor Transpo partners with the Texas Workforce Commission to help people get their start in logistics and supply chain.

About TraylorTranspo 

TraylorTranspo is an asset-based freight brokerage based in Dallas, Texas. Traylor was founded by an owner-operator, Brittany Traylor who wanted to create a tech-centric brokerage that puts people first – so employees, drivers, carriers, and shippers are all family at Traylor. The company specializes in drop and hook shipments (power-only) and open-deck transportation. The company also moves a lot of scrap, which is a notoriously difficult type of freight to haul. Traylor’s technology streamlines the shipping process, reduces cost, and facilitates collaboration. TraylorTranspo also has a social mission of helping people typically under-represented in logistics – get their start.

Key Takeaways: The TraylorTranspo Story

  • Brittany Traylor is the Founder and CEO of TraylorTranspo, an asset light brokerage that specializes in power-only moves, which typically means the carrier provides the tractor and the shipper provides the trailer.
  • In the podcast interview, Joe and Brittany discuss Brittany’s difficult childhood, moving to America as a young adult, and the founding of TraylorTranspo.
  • Power only trucking is a full truckload move that occurs when a carrier provides only a driver and a tractor or “power unit.” With power only moves, the driver does not bring a trailer, but instead hooks up to and hauls a trailer that is either leased or owned by a 3PL or shipper.
  • Drop and hook shipments became more popular after the hours of service (HOS) and electronic logging device (ELD) mandate took effect in 2019.
  • With drop and hook shipments, drivers are able to spend more time driving because they are not involved in live loads / uploads. Drivers simply drop the trailer and the shipper unloads the trailer when they have time. For pickups, drivers hook up the trailer and get back to driving.
  • Because of her difficult upbringing, Brittany makes a point of giving people an opportunity to succeed.
  • TraylorTranspo works closely with the Texas Work Force Commission to hire and train people who often are not given a chance – this has lead to a very loyal team and family-like culture at the company.
  • Traylor is a small, but fast growing brokerage that is uses freight tech (Turvo) to streamline the shipping process, reduce costs per load, and deliver a superior customer experience for both carriers and shippers.
