Are costly ERP systems really solving shipping problems?

Many shipping departments across a spectrum of both large and small entities face many inefficiencies in their daily operations. Major ERP systems don’t directly tend towards finding solutions to these problems and as a result businesses are unable to get a return on their pricey investment.

For example, shipments raised on these platforms are unable to take into consideration an accurate transit time as well as the much needed in-house date which results in delays and confusions when the shipment actually does arrive. Further, shipment tracking with real-time ETAs and ATAs are also not integrated in modern-day ERPs; a simple yet missing function. Further, these ERP systems don’t tend to supply chain knowledge gaps, are unable to identify when human errors occur on them and have no clear guidance on the end to end shipping process.
