Oracle has officially secured the designation of a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™, thanks to its cutting-edge Transportation Management System.
According to certain reports, this marks the 18th time Oracle has been named a Leader in the given report.
In case you weren’t aware, understood to be a part of Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain & Manufacturing (SCM), Oracle Transportation Management system brings forth a single, unified platform for companies to manage all transportation activity throughout their supply chains.
The platform effectively packs together ease of use with the latest AI innovations, as well as other industry-leading capabilities, to empower organizations in the context of streamlining transportation processes and optimizing logistics operations. It does so primarily for mitigating the impact associated with environmental disruptions.
Talk about what all this TMS can achieve on a specific note, we begin from its promise to help users quickly adapt to any supply chain disruptions. Here, the solution leverages AI-powered logistics network modeling capabilities to effectively guide transportation managers in understanding the potential impact of disruptions before deploying changes to logistics networks as needed.
The technology realizes it all using insights into alternative routes and carriers through detailed what-if scenario modeling.
Next up, there is the potential for improving on-time shipments and deliveries. This translates to how the solution again banks upon AI-powered planning capabilities to empower transportation managers in determining the best way of fulfilling transportation requirements, ranging from simple point-to-point operations to complex multimodal, multi-leg, and cross-dock operations.
On top of that, we also have operational planning capabilities coming into play to streamline bids and orders, as well as build effective shipping plans.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in the prospect of maximizing productivity using automated processes, something which revolves around embedded logistics business intelligence capabilities. These capabilities come in handy for measuring performance and proactively managing the lifecycle of orders with automated milestone monitoring, alongside automated freight billing and payments.
Hold on, we still have a couple of bits left to unpack, considering we haven’t yet touched upon the solution’s pledge of lowering carbon footprint. This the Oracle TMS achieves on the back of optimization-powered sustainability capabilities that can seamlessly identify more sustainable and energy-efficient shipping routes by minimizing transportation emissions during the shipment planning process.
Rounding up highlights would be a facility to provide excellent customer service. In essence, the stated service will utilize AI-powered order route and transit time prediction capabilities to improve shipment planning and avoid congested ports and delays. Furthermore, digital assistant capabilities are available to allow transportation managers to receive, respond, and resolve customer service issues at a faster clip.
“Organizations in all industries face complex and rapidly changing supply chain challenges and without a strategic approach to managing transportation they are at risk of inefficiency, higher costs, and delayed deliveries,” said Srini Rajagopal, vice president of logistics product strategy at Oracle. “To help our customers manage this complexity, Oracle Transportation Management provides a robust solution that enables them to run transportation operations more efficiently, reduce freight costs, and optimize service levels. We believe our ongoing placement in the Leaders Quadrant in this report is a testament to our long-standing commitment to help our customers drive more efficient logistics operations.”
