More than one-third of companies use disconnected transport systems
The lack of integration between transportation platforms and broader supply chain systems continues to limit operational efficiency.
An international study found that 37% of organizations still operate transportation management systems that are not integrated with the rest of their supply chains.
The lack of integration between transportation management systems and broader supply chain operations remains one of the biggest challenges for organizations seeking to improve operational efficiency and responsiveness.
According to The Road Ahead: Unlocking the Future of Transportation Management, 87% of executives surveyed globally are concerned that their transportation management systems (TMS) will not be able to meet operational requirements over the next five years.
The report also found that 37% of organizations still operate transportation platforms that are not integrated with the rest of their supply chains.
This technological fragmentation makes it more difficult to anticipate traffic disruptions, increases costs associated with poor planning and reduces competitiveness in global markets.
The study warns that disconnected systems limit real-time route optimization, hinder efficient scheduling and reduce workforce coordination across distribution centers, ultimately affecting delivery performance.
In practice, integrated data has become a critical factor in improving coordination across logistics operations.
The impact of integration.
Against this backdrop, Servinformación has expanded the availability of its logistics solutions across the Americas’ main trade corridors.
”The biggest logistics challenge in the region is no longer the operation itself but the lack of connectivity between the systems that support it. When planning, execution and analytics operate in isolation, companies lose visibility and respond too slowly to operational changes. Real-time data integration has become a decisive competitive advantage,” said Wilson Pinto, Business Developer Logistics Google Maps at Servinformación.
Operational coordination.
The company said integrating route optimization tools with field monitoring solutions is designed to reduce data fragmentation, align dispatch planning with on-the-road execution and enable real-time operational adjustments in response to traffic or weather disruptions.
According to the report, greater integration between transportation systems and last-mile operations also helps reduce coordination gaps between distribution centers and logistics networks.
By the end of 2026, data integration is expected to play an increasingly important role in the evolution of Latin America’s supply chains as organizations move from isolated systems toward more coordinated logistics operations.
