CHALLENGE

A logistics company that had designed a new Transportation Management System (TMS) needed to evaluate commercialization options. To build a successful go-to-market strategy, the client required a deep understanding of the market landscape, competitor prevalence, and the specific evaluation criteria used by supply chain decision-makers.

THE GLG APPROACH

GLG deployed a two-phased managed engagement led by a Project Lead with over 20 years of technology and strategic experience. This hybrid research model ensured that initial qualitative nuances were rigorously validated by quantitative data.

The engagement focused on decision-makers and customers specifically within the transportation and logistics industry to ensure relevant feedback.

The study was executed in two phases:

Phase 1 - Qualitative Depth: In-depth interviews (IDIs) with subject matter experts to gauge market demand and map the competitive landscape.
Phase 2 - Quantitative Validation: A 15-minute online survey designed to pressure-test the qualitative findings against a broader population.
Thematic Focus: Interrogating pain points in existing TMS solutions and identifying the must-have capabilities for new market entrants.

OUTCOME

The integrated research approach allowed the client to successfully identify barriers to adoption and define their competitive positioning. Beyond feature prioritization, GLG's advanced analysis provided a data-backed roadmap for optimal pricing models, ensuring the new product was positioned for maximum market penetration.
