JDA Software offers new TMS

JDA Software offers new TMS    JDA Software Group has launched a new transportation management system program to tap what it calls an expanding but difficult aspect for shippers.
   “Transportation executives are competing with a long line of other business teams all demanding IT resources and capital allotments, which frequently result in delayed TMS initiatives,” said David Johnston, senior vice president of manufacturing and distribution at JDA Software, in a statement.
   “While we’ll continue to deliver our TMS solutions through traditional, on-premise deployments, JDA TMS Managed Services provides accelerated delivery and ongoing management of our flexible, yet preconfigured offering designed to enable measurable improvements in just eight to 12 weeks,” he said.
   JDA Software noted that the TMS market continues to be “under-penetrated” as logistics teams are hindered by “internal roadblocks such as overburdened IT departments and constrained capital budgets.”
   The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based company said its new program helps companies avoid the high cost of initial capital investments, hiring of specialized staff and costs related to software, maintenance, network and infrastructure upgrades.
