Business Wire
Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) announced today that it has been
named the leader among suppliers of transportation management
systems worldwide as a result of its offerings in the Parcel
Shipping Solutions market, according to a Transportation Management
Systems (TMS) Worldwide Outlook study by ARC Advisory Group. The
ranking is based on revenue from software license, service,
maintenance and recurring fees in 2010.
This is the sixth time Pitney Bowes has captured the top spot in
the annual ARC Advisory Group survey.
“In a tough economy, more companies are looking for new and
aggressive ways to lower costs. Shipping management is a natural
choice,” said Debra Thompson-Van, Vice President, Marketing, Pitney
Bowes. “We are pleased that our SendSuite® Shipping Management
solutions are recognized by the ARC Advisory Group. Our platform
helps customers manage transportation spend and streamline
logistics processes.”
Pitney Bowes grew its shipping revenues 6.0% during a period
that TMS overall experienced a market decline of 3.3%, according to
the study. The report forecasts that 2011 demand for TMS will grow
at 5%, and that the TMS market overall will exceed $1.7 billion by
2014, positioning Pitney Bowes for further growth in this market
segment.
“Customers looking for additional transportation cost management
should consider further integration throughout the shipping
process. Pitney Bowes is uniquely qualified to provide this
enterprise-level capability as one of only a few companies that
deliver integrated solutions,” Thompson-Van adds. “As the market
leader, we will continue to invest in technology to deliver a more
complete enterprise solution that consolidates the process further,
enhances the customer experience, and helps us remain the preferred
provider in this market.”
The report’s findings indicate Pitney Bowes secured the lead
position primarily due to its SendSuite™ Shipping Solutions. These
software tools help both inbound and outbound shipment processing
and management for mail center, warehouse and desktop shipping
applications. According to the report, those products and services
and the complete set of mailroom solutions, including postage
meters, weighing equipment and software, in addition to extensive
sales, maintenance, and support teams, give Pitney Bowes an
unrivaled position in North America.
The ARC Market Outlook Study, entitled "Transportation
Management Systems Worldwide Outlook: Market Analysis and Forecast
Through 2014," segments the TMS market into six high-level solution
types, including Planning & Execution, Parcel Shipping, and
Fleet Management. The study also includes market data by solution
