IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Transportation Management Systems 2026 Vendor Assessment

Simon Ellis, Reid Paquin — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC study analyzes software providers in the market today that support transportation management processes in planning, execution, visibility, optimization, and procurement. Global transportation is a fragmented market that transportation management systems (TMSs) software aims to synchronize into, and across, the supply chain. Automating processes and integrated analytics help organizations improve productivity and drive consistency by enabling practitioners to make more informed and timely decisions across the operational landscape.

"Constantly changing global trade complexities and the persistent, unpredictable disruption of transportation networks require that companies employ a fit-for-purpose TMS application," says Simon Ellis, group VP for Manufacturing and Supply Chain, IDC. "In this IDC MarketScape, we see a group of very strong vendors offering capabilities to make global multimodal shipping an integrated part of their broader supply chain. Advanced TMS capabilities allow clients to derive a competitive advantage versus many who still view it as a basic support function."

IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Trade Finance Systems 2026 Vendor Assessment

Maria Adele Di Comite — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC study presents the assessment of 12 vendors for 2026 that provide trade finance solutions to the corporate banking sector: Adria B&T, Aurionpro, BT Systems, CGI, China Systems, Finastra, ICSFS, Infosys Finacle, Intellect Design Arena, Newgen, Oracle, and Surecomp. This research is a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the features of different solutions, along with other characteristics that define vendors' ability to support trade finance activities, streamline bank and corporate operations, and facilitate interactions with the ecosystem. The evaluation is based on a standardized, comprehensive framework and a set of parameters identified as most conducive to success in providing trade finance services in the short and long term. This year's assessment places particular emphasis on the extent to which vendors have moved AI, generative AI, and agentic AI capabilities from road map ambition into production use, alongside their readiness to support the accelerating shift toward electronically recognized trade documents. Evaluation also considers features to support risk management and regulatory compliance evaluations, as well as the ability to address emerging needs in a challenging and fast-evolving market, in times of uncertainty.

"In 2026, trade finance vendors are facing three key challenges: proving that their AI claims hold up under customer scrutiny, preparing for a trade ecosystem that is steadily shifting from paper to electronically recognized documents, and proving they have strong governance to meet tightening regulatory requirements and support advanced risk management. Across this assessment, vendors show meaningful progress on each of these fronts, though the pace and depth of progress vary across the vendor landscape," said Maria Adele Di Comite, senior research director, IDC Financial Insights.
