AS400 Trucking, TMS and Logistics Software

Is it worth migrating IBM i trucking and logistics software to a cloud TMS?

That depends on what is actually driving the question. If the current IBM i system handles dispatch and rating correctly and reliably, a migration for its own sake carries real risk against an unclear payoff. If the driver is a specific missing capability, such as multi-carrier rating, mobile driver workflows, or document-capture automation, evaluate whether an IBM i-native product already covers that gap before assuming a full platform migration is the only option.
