5 Ways SaaS Logistics Software Improves Supply Chain Management

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) logistics software is changing the way companies do business. It provides financial, operational, and technical flexibility to better manage the complex system of supply chains than traditional on-premise applications.

Here are five key benefits of using SaaS logistics software:

1. Lower Costs: From initial to ongoing costs, SaaS logistics software has a lower total cost of ownership than on-premise software. It’s far easier to evaluate and demo a vendor’s application by visiting its Web site versus having to review the software in-house. In addition, SaaS logistics software has the advantage of a “pay-as-you-go” model, meaning costs are usage-based. This enables you to predict software management costs and drastically reduce the cost of infrastructure maintenance.

2. Faster Implementation: A SaaS logistics solution means you can be up and running within a few days rather than several months. This is a huge advantage when you consider the resources involved and the need to start streamlining operations next week, not next quarter. You can get started ASAP with SaaS logistics software because configuration is much cheaper and faster than customizing code.

3. Easy Access and Scalability: One of the biggest perks of SaaS logistics software is that it can be accessed at any time, from anywhere in the world, and by everyone in the supply chain. All you need is Internet access and a Web browser to enable instant access and real-time management of inventory across the supply chain. SaaS logistics software offers unprecedented transparency and visibility for partners to connect and share critical information instantaneously.

4. Less Complexity: When you use a SaaS logistics solution you never have to worry about buying more hardware or software. The reduced impact on your IT support staff is a huge benefit by itself. Wouldn’t their time (and your money) be better spent on developing innovative IT strategies rather than ongoing maintenance? The ease-of-use of SaaS logistics software also means that even non-IT users can get up to speed rapidly to make better, real-time decisions along the supply chain.

5. Free Upgrades and Better Support: Another huge benefit of SaaS logistics software over on-premise applications is that updates and upgrades are provided free of charge. New features and updates are typically added incrementally to all customers at once. The vendor tests the SaaS logistics software updates and upgrades to ensure a smooth integration and better overall user experience. The bottom line is that you get regular, free upgrades that make managing the supply chain easier and more profitable.

SaaS logistics software is truly revolutionizing the way supply chains are managed from beginning to end. Learn more about SaaS logistics by calling 866.603.1454 or visiting www.LessSoftware.com.
