Overview

Before adopting a new TMS, PING faced significant shipping challenges stemming from an unsustainable homegrown ERP system and an unsatisfactory legacy TMS. Their global operations across multiple countries were complex and fragmented, with regional shipping silos leading to inconsistent processes and a lack of unified visibility.

Challenges

Before adopting a new TMS, PING encountered several obstacles:

  • Legacy Systems and Ineffective TMS: PING relied on a homegrown ERP and an underperforming TMS that lacked scalability and functionality.
  • Global Shipping Complexity: Manufacturing and repair facilities across the US, England, Japan, Canada, and Korea operated with unique regional processes and carrier networks.
  • Fragmented Regional Operations: Independent regional shipping processes led to inconsistencies,
    inefficiencies, and a lack of unified visibility.
  • Integration Challenges: PING needed a TMS with API-driven integration to seamlessly connect with Infor M3 ERP and streamline data flow.
  • Diverse Shipping Processes: A combination of manual shipping stations and automated conveyor
    systems created operational complexity.
  • Accuracy and Cost Issues: Frequent errors in service level selection and freight charge discrepancies increased costs and impacted customer satisfaction.
  • Limited Visibility and Support: Slow response times and inadequate support from the previous TMS provider made issue resolution difficult.
  • Need for a Packing Solution: PING required a TMS that could incorporate a packing solution, eliminating the need for custom in-house development.
