TMS
Like Warehouse Management Systems, Transportation Management Systems are a focused solution within the broader array of enterprise software products. PerfOps has been working with TMS solutions for the past 20 years, including integration of such systems with ERP and WMS, and assisting owners with implementation. We have several TMS experienced team members who can lead or assist software selection, implementation and systems optimization.
In addition to the common enterprise software subjects, the following relate specifically to TMS:
-
TMS projects are especially challenging in that these projects involve a lot of supply chain partners. In addition, the supply chain industry is known for building on long-term relationships – digitization can be felt as threatening and to be viewed by some to running counter to existing cultures. PerfOps cuts through this by helping all parties see and move to the future, without threatening their existing working relationships. As with ERP and WMS we are focused on operations effectiveness and are adept at working across company boundaries to achieve success.
-
In order to fully realize the benefits of TMS there are always changes to existing processes. This includes both physical and office operations, including transportation, customer service and accounting teams. Our methods of bringing everyone together and developing the optimum “to be” process build the team and project planning and management ensures project success.
-
PerfOps has found that a blend of swimlane diagrams and our warehouse storyboarding method are a great way to bring all parties together around the new solution. This process shows the physical and virtual flows and depicts how everything will work with the new technology. These diagrams define how information is communicated between departments, whether it be digital without the human touch, or where people need to talk in real time. Systematized digital solutions allow team members to work more efficiently with the necessary remaining human processes able to operate asynchronously, which is one of the major benefits of TMS.
-
TMS projects require interfaces that can be simple or challenging depending on each party’s readiness and proficiencies. PerfOps defines these interfaces, evaluates each team’s readiness and each system’s needs and fills the necessary gaps. We help design and conduct testing and ensure project timelines are maintained.
RESULTS
PerfOps driven TMS projects achieve identified objectives, stronger owner teams and systems which are optimized from the start.

SYSTEMS EXPERTISE
PerfOps maintains a superior methodology for selecting enterprise software as well as finding the right ERP solution provider for each project. We reduce risk, ensure the right fit and identify resource gaps prior to spending on software licenses and solution provider services. During implementation, PerfOps offers a complete portfolio of services scaled and provided on an as needed basis, including project management, solution design, process and SOP development, training, application of technology, project governance and executive advisory.
PerfOps has been guiding the selection, designing and implementing warehouse management and automated material handling systems since 1988. There is nothing we haven’t seen in warehousing and distribution including all forms of Automated Data Collection (ADC) and every level of real-time automation. PerfOps can operate across all activities from the initial vision through facility design, storage and material handling equipment selection, software implementation and process optimization. Our team of project, operations and technology professionals can provide any level of service you require to achieve your warehousing objectives.
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are all part of PerfOps’ foundational expertise. PerfOps’ founder specialized in this area for 20 years prior to founding PerfOps and our teams regularly address MES and other related automation subjects on our projects. PerfOps maintains the skills and methods to lead selection, implementation and optimization of MES solutions, along with the integration of MES solutions into ERP and Asset/Maintenance systems. We were there before the term “MES” was coined and we literally helped develop the standards and write the handbooks defining what MES is today.
OTHER ENTERPRISE LEVEL SOLUTIONS
PerfOps has deep experience in other supply chain related solution technologies such as PLM, QMS, CMMS, etc. We can quickly generate Enterprise Software Roadmaps which pull all these functions together into a coherent system over the appropriate timeframes. The same methods we apply to ERP and WMS for software and solution provider selection, project planning, governance and management applying to projects in these areas.
Our knowledge and experience across these operations areas gives us the means to quickly create effective systems and operations roadmaps which speed deployment, reduce rework and protect owners’ investments.
