Lean Logistics: Redefining Transportation Management and Supply Chain Services
Present day trade operations are evolving at an overwhelming pace and most of the current technology providers have to innovate tirelessly to be on par with an ever increasing demand in the logistics landscape. Out of all the technical innovations that have helped various industries, logistics is one of the most integral factions of managing business activities offering predictive analytics, tracking inventories, monitoring shipments, and storage. However, the current market complexities hinder supply chain activities of most organizations. Moreover, a steady decline in overall freight demand has resulted in significant macroeconomic pressures for carriers to cut down their rates. With a significant rise in globalization, it has become very important for companies to ship products quickly to maximize profits. LeanLogistics— a global solution provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) for transportation management and supply chain services helps address the common issues in the logistics landscape. “LeanLogistics’s Transport Management System minimizes risk for customers while providing them with insightful supply chain visibility in all markets,” says Dan Dershem, President, LeanLogistics.
Headquartered in Holland, MI, the company offers improved supply chain management systems, real-time data analytics, centralized control over transportation processes, and a scalable platform for quick adaptation. LeanLogistics’ flagship product, LeanTMS, a SaaS-based transportation management System, provides complete procurement, planning, execution, and settlement transportation functions. The LeanTMS uses a multi-tenant architecture which gives users the opportunity to operate from single software. This centrally located software is highly secure and presents noteworthy benefits over on-premise logistics management software or hosted supply chain solutions. In addition, the LeanLogistics Transportation Network empowers companies to improve overall supply chain management in a collaborative environment. “The members of Network TMS leverage technologies through a common platform enabling more opportunity for collaborative shipping and tracking operations,” explains Dershem. Another software solution, LeanFleet— a fleet management solution that helps companies with private or dedicated fleets in further optimizing their transport processes.LeanFleet allows shippers and their carriers to manage all aspects of their transportation, providing visibility into street-level routing as well as automatic route consolidation functionality.

LeanTMS has helped companies like Dannon, Ace Hardware, and Hostess in reducing costs and improving business processes.For Instance, Ashley Furniture Industries, a well-known retailer of furniture, realized the need for changing their retail buying patterns as a result of the increased methods of shopping and high customer expectations. The firm faced problems in attaining supply chain visibility that reduced their operational efficiency. After setting up LeanLogistics’ Lean TMS, Ashley Furniture Industries gained visibility to all aspects of their transportation network and allowed them to increase efficiency and reduce additional costs.
