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.

​Transportation Execution and Visibility Systems: Visibility Tools Play a Bigger Role

The transportation execution and visibility systems market is comprised of two related technologies. Transportation execution solutions allow shippers to connect to multiple carriers and then tender, track, and pay in the system.  Visibility solutions allow real-time asset tracking across the entire distribution network.  This enables improved estimated arrival times of goods.

The transportation execution and visibility systems market is dynamic with major industries experiencing rapid growth. These industries include logistics, retail, and food & beverage to a lesser degree.

Visibility solutions are playing a larger role in the market, as real-time tracking of assets becomes more important.  Suppliers of visibility solutions continue to bring in additional data streams for a better estimated time of arrival (ETA).

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.

E-Commerce Drives Growth in the Market

The continued growth of e-commerce is putting more emphasis on last mile deliveries, and parcel execution is becoming more important.  This is especially true as the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a surge in e-commerce. This also means that companies need more visibility into where products are, for a more accurate ETA.  The rise of e-commerce has also made the economy more global in nature.  This in turn has led to the need for consolidation and de-consolidation of shipments in an efficient manner.  Transportation execution and visibility solutions can provide these efficiencies.  E-commerce is also leading to a more open marketplace.  Many manufacturers have seen that they can profit from selling directly to customers, rather than using retail channels like in the past.  This is placing a bigger emphasis on parcel shipping and driving significant growth.

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; 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.

Technology Continues to Improve

Machine learning is becoming increasingly important in transportation execution systems.  The most notable application is generating a more informed and up-to-date ETA for shipments.  Machine learning is working with real-time visibility solutions to learn more about constraints (such as capacity, regulations, and hours of service) and then using that information to give a much better ETA for shipments to warehouses, stores, and end customers.
