Research on comparison of WMS and TMS application opportunities for improving the functioning of logistics actors in Vietnam's economic centers

The trend of increasing use of WMS and TMS in Vietnam reflects the need to identify criteria for logistics actors to evaluate the opportunities and prospects for the application of warehouse management systems (WMS) and transportation management systems (TMS) in Vietnam's economic centers. The paper presents a research on comparing the application capabilities of WMS and TMS by logistics entities of economic centers in Vietnam. The article assesses the logistics sector of Vietnam on the basis of statistical data, reflects the dynamics of changes in logistics costs in Vietnam as a % of the country's GDP, compares the key suppliers of WMS and TMS in Vietnam, implements a survey of 100 logistics subjects and systematizes the criteria of preferences of logistics subjects in the economic centers of Vietnam: Hanoi, Hai Phong and Ho Chi Minh City, which determine the possibility of applying WMS and TMS.
