How do I choose a TMS?

When choosing a TMS solution it’s important to assess your own business needs and requirements – such as type of goods you’re shipping, what type of transportation you use most often etc. It’s also important to consider how easily the system can be integrated with your existing technology stack or 3rd party applications as well as scalability of the solution for future growth.
