Locus’ Post

🌟 Thrilled to share that we've been featured in the Gartner Market Guide for Multi Carrier Management Parcel Management Systems! This marks Shipsy's second feature in a Gartner vendor report this year. On top of that, we are proud to be ranked the Number 1 vendor for TMS on Gartner Peer Insights, surpassing industry giants like Oracle, SAP, and Manhattan. With global parcel volumes expected to surge by 40% by 2028, shippers are seeking ways to reduce costs, maximize capacity, and enhance customer experiences in last-mile fulfillment. (As mentioned in the report) Gartner notes that most ERP, TMS, OMS, and WMS providers lack specialized parcel capabilities, often partnering with noncompeting multicarrier parcel management solutions (MCPMS) to fill the gap. This leaves users needing a robust, stand-alone solution. This is where Shipsy's MCM solution stands out.

I'm back! Last week I was at the TPM conference so there were no daily updates on this page. However, I did do daily updates from TPM via special Freight Forward newsletters: Freight Forward: TPM 24 Monday Update https://lnkd.in/eivNg_cB Freight Forward: TPM 24 Tuesday Update https://lnkd.in/e4D6UMqG Freight Forward: #TPM24 - It's a People Business https://lnkd.in/eicrc8xD I spent today catching up on some earnings transcripts in between phone calls. The DHL Q4 earnings transcript was a particularly interesting one – They talked about the continued strength they’re seeing in B2C volumes, the growth in e-commerce and while they noted they were not interested in acquiring DB Schenker, they did mention an interest in an acquisition in the returns management space. Returns management providers are becoming acquisition targets to supply chain providers that are handling more B2C volumes (Thanks primarily to e-commerce) and the need to help ‘close the circular loop’ for retail customers, i.e. for ESG purposes. In 2023, four big acquisitions in this space were made: Accenture acquired OnProcess – Nov 2023 Blue Yonder acquired Doddle – Nov 2023 UPS acquired Happy Returns – Oct 2023 Auctane acquired Returns Rabbit – June 2023 In DHL’s Q4 earnings transcript (Feb 22), it noted an interest in acquiring a returns management solution: “So certain sectors where we're lacking the expertise, we want to do, for instance, more in returns management. That's something we're looking at because we can leverage what we already have and provide such an acquisition with a significant positive growth momentum. So that is what creates value, and that's how we look at this,” - Tobias Meyer – DHL Group CEO DHL Group’s B2C Volumes FY 2023 vs FY 2019: Express TDI B2C shipments per day: 45% Ecommerce B2C Europe: 65% Parcel Germany Volumes: 24% -Cathy (Photo credit: Photo 188618760 | Retail Returns © Josepalbert13 | Dreamstime.com)
