they'll pay to "see the money"

Still think there's no money in transportation management systems? Market analyst ARC Advisory Group projects that TMS sales will top $950 million this year, driven by companies anxious to obtain visibility into financial performance as it relates to logistics. That's 4.4 percent above the $910 million in sales recorded in 2004, the last year for which data are available.

It seems TMS vendors have Sarbanes-Oxley to thank for some of that growth. ARC analysts speculate that the need to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA) has driven many chief financial officers to take a closer look at logistics and its impact on financial performance. In many cases, they're finding their companies don't have a clear picture of their total transportation costs and are turning to TMS to sort things out.

“With Freight Rates More Stable, Why Do My Freight Costs Keep Going Up?”

DCV-TV 4: Viewer Contributed
Lately people have been asking me a pressing question: “Mike, if there’s a freight recession headed our way, shouldn’t we be seeing freight rates and our freight costs going down?”Ideally the answer to that question would just simply be “yes.” However, these are not simple times. Which is why the answer to this...
