Transportation Execution and Visibility Systems

This Transportation Execution and Visibility Systems market research study delivers current market analysis plus a five year market and technology forecast. The study is available in multiple editions including worldwide, all regions, and most major countries.

​E-commerce and the Need for Visibility Drive the Transportation Execution Systems Market

ARC Advisory Group’s research on the Transportation Execution Systems (TES) market finds that the COVID-driven surge in e-commerce and new fulfillment models were beneficial for the industry. The transportation execution systems market grew significantly in 2021. Part of this is the nature of TES and the industries it serves, such as CPG and food & beverage in particular. As capacity constraints, port bottlenecks, and supply chain disruptions continue to hamper global supply chains, the need for visibility solutions is more important than ever.

Transportation Execution and Visibility Strategic Issues 

In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the transportation execution and visibility systems market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.

It's All About the Data

Companies are partnering with data aggregators to get a better idea of when shipments will arrive. This includes port data, social media, news, event, and weather (SNEW) data, traffic data, and other available sources to provide an accurate ETA to warehouses, stores, and end consumers.

Visibility Solutions Are Becoming More Necessary in the Market

The need to know where products are, whether they are on the way to the warehouse, store, or customer; it is critical to ensure a positive customer experience. The rise of visibility solutions at the container level is helping to drive the transportation execution market to new heights.

IoT is Driving Interest in the Market

For a truer ETA, companies are using IoT data from trucks to get a better understanding of driver behavior, such as typical driving speeds and times, as well as how they operate in heavily congested areas. Companies can take sensor data from trucks and incorporate hours of service rules to know when, where, and for how long a driver needs to stop. These applications also understand that where and when the driver stops will have an impact on the ETA. This is especially true if drivers stop before a major city and will have to endure rush hour traffic once they start driving again.

Blockchain Is Important for Some Industries

This technology is all about a digital ledger(s) as it applies to a chain of custody. For pharmaceuticals, this is a critical component of transporting goods throughout the supply chain. Most pharmaceutical companies have a small window to get products from point A to B, without any changes in temperature. Blockchain monitors have access to the temperature data and whether that changes between modes. This is especially important for the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines worldwide.
