Global disruptions, such as COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, have significantly impacted supply chains worldwide. Companies that had already adopted flexible TMS platforms were able to adapt more easily to these challenges, while those relying on outdated systems found themselves struggling to keep up.

Key Example: Operational Efficiency in Crisis
One of the ways Wave TMS has proven its value is through its automation capabilities. For example, EFW was able to triple its daily load volumes per operator using Wave’s automation tools during the height of the pandemic. This kind of operational efficiency is key when navigating global disruptions, giving companies the agility to respond quickly to changing market conditions.

The Need for Scalability and Adaptability
In today’s world, having a scalable and adaptable TMS is more important than ever. Wave TMS’s ability to scale and streamline operations, even in the face of global challenges, is a testament to its value in the modern logistics landscape.
