The letter you should send

Hi [your boss's name here],

I wanted to bring up some concerns regarding our transportation operations. We need a usable TMS and need it now. Without a robust and usable transportation management system in place, we're stuck with a lot of old-school manual processes that impact our efficiency and overall performance.

First off, our visibility into shipment status, carrier performance, and transportation costs is severely limited. This makes it difficult to proactively address issues as they arise, resulting in potential errors, delays, and disruptions in our shipments. Our customers deserve better, and a TMS will help give us this visibility.

Second, we are missing out on cost savings. Our current routing and carrier selection processes lend themselves to inefficient routes and unnecessary delays.

Worse, it's become clear that our reliance on manual tasks is not only time-consuming and prone to errors, but it's also putting a significant strain on our staff.

But I think what's maybe most concerning is our inability to respond effectively to changing market conditions and customer demands. Being unable to rely on a TMS puts us at a serious competitive disadvantage.

The latest TMS systems are built very differently and are much more accessible to companies like ours than they ever have been before. I'm especially interested in looking into a TMS platform from Shipwell. Not only has it been recognized as one of the best for being easy to use and providing the most value and ROI, but many successful companies have also used it to help address some of the specific challenges that we've been facing. And I should mention that Shipwell's customer service has exemplary reviews.

These are the kind of results we would be looking at:

1. A reduction of up to 40% in shipping costs by increasing load, consolidation, and routing efficiency with their Load Optimization tool
2. Reducing the amount oftime spent on booking shipments by as much as 88%
3. Boosting on-time pickup and delivery rates to a near-perfect 98%
4. Cutting the number of claims and chargebacks in half
5. Minimizing downtime and ensuring rapid adoption with a dedicated customer support team

Obviously, we would need to do some more exploration to understand what all this means for both of us. I'd love to set up a live demo with Shipwell. Please let me know your interest level. Let me help you drive this project to success.

Sincerely,
[your name]
