Cost to change (CTC)

Switching TMS platforms and/or LSPs is not easy. The real cost is in migration, re-integration, and contract exit. These are factors that are rarely discussed before a vendor is selected and frequently underestimated.

Answer the questions below to get a rough estimate. Figures are based on real-world implementation experience. Your scenario is saved anonymously to help build a shared picture of what change actually costs. After submitting, you can generate a migration plan tailored to your program at the bottom of this page.

Results

As practitioners contribute their scenarios, we will publish aggregate cost benchmarks by migration type and program complexity.

The threshold is meaningful data, not just volume.
