Most TMS implementations require significant investment, with 63% of IT decision-makers saying the EDI onboarding process takes too long because of all the different customized requirements demanded by trading partners.

The transportation sector faces a perfect storm of security vulnerabilities that most enterprise security teams never address: TMS-EDI integrations. According to a 2022 report from transport and logistics industry software provider Magnus Technologies, it takes transportation companies 192 days on average to detect a breach and another 60 days to
Sixty-seven percent of supply chain professionals report their organizations operate with multiple EDI providers, and 84% of cloud migrations exceed budgets or timelines.
