nShift identified as a Notable Vendor in the report

LONDON, April 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gartner, a company delivering actionable, objective insight to executives and their teams has named nShift as a Notable Vendor in its report "Europe Context: 'Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems (TMS)'" (Report ID: G00803724).

Magic Quadrant reports are a culmination of rigorous, fact-based research in specific markets, providing a wide-angle view of the relative positions of the providers in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct.

nShift is an end-to-end cloud platform that automates and optimizes the entire delivery management process – from e-commerce shop delivery options and carrier bookings to delivery tracking and post-purchase experience, including returns management. From warehouse to doorstop, nShift gives online retailers complete control over their delivery management experience and provides in depth shipping data to improve performance.

Gartner states, "The reasons why organizations with transportation operations in Europe acquire TMS have slightly changed from what was seen in previous years. Cost optimization and improving transportation visibility have become the main drivers... Other drivers for organizations acquiring TMS in Europe are related to the replacement and upgrade of legacy ERP solutions and other technology."

Five steps to TMS success

nShift enables the delivery of close to one billion annual shipments to over 190 countries for its more than 90 000 customers, and offers access to the world's largest carrier library. Its TMS provides full visibility and control of the supply chain helping companies in five simple steps:

Step 1 - Prepare: Businesses can take their pick of integration methods and use prepared templates to get up to speed, quickly and accurately
Step 2 - Execute: Plan transports, book carriers, print labels and documents, and send notifications through multiple channels
Step 3 - Control: Secure, easy, customizable access to all your shipment data, for anyone who needs it
Step 4 - Analyze: Turn information into insights using an integrated business intelligence tool
Step 5 - Improve: Simplify the supply chain. Reduce freight spend and inventory. Increase operational efficiency and sales

Mattias Gredenhag, CTO, nShift, said, "Evolving consumer expectations have raised the bar. People expect deliveries to be glitch-free and will abandon businesses that fall short. That's why it's so important that warehouses select transport or delivery management systems with a proven and reliable track record. They can place such a system at the heart of their delivery process, seamlessly incorporating carrier management, tracking, and returns capabilities."
