RateLinx's ShipLinx TMS named in Gartner's 2024 Market Guide for Multicarrier Parcel Management Solutions (MCPMS)

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Aug. 6, 2024 - PRLog -- RateLinx, a Gartner top-ranked Transportation Management System (TMS), freight audit and pay (FAP) solution, and Multicarrier Parcel Management System (MCPMS) provider is honored to be included in Gartner's 2024 Market Guide for Multicarrier Parcel Management Solutions (MCPMS). This research includes key market trends in order to help shippers optimize costs and services while also maximizing capacity.

In this in-depth analysis, Gartner found that with rising global parcel delivery volumes from multichannel retail and B2B e-commerce shipments, shippers still lack multi-carrier parcel management tools to optimize their shipments. They aren't finding multi-carrier parcel optimization solutions in ERP, TMS, OMS, and WMS, which creates a need for standalone MCPMS solutions.

ShipLinx TMS is unlike other MCPMS standalone solutions because it's a TMS that specializes in multi-carrier parcel management and is part of a flexible TMS platform. The multi-carrier parcel management capabilities can be used on its own or as part of the ShipLinx TMS platform for end-to-end transportation management optimization. Additionally, RateLinx was acknowledged in the MCPMS Market Guide for its expansion beyond shipping planning and optimization into freight auditing.

ShipLinx TMS offers these essential and advanced capabilities, including:

• Integration with any OMS, WMS, and ERP
• Expedited parcel execution
• Optimized multi-carrier parcel manifesting
• Accurate and fast label and document creation
• Avoids domestic and international delivery delays by adhering to carrier compliance
• Parcel consolidation to save more
• Real-time parcel visibility to better serve customers
• Reporting/analytics to find trends and cost savings
• Parcel optimization selects the best carrier based on rules for cost savings
• Automated rate shopping
• Accurate parcel freight payment
• Electronic last-mile delivery
• Returns management
• Advanced cartonization
• Cross-border and Pick-Up and Drop-Off
