TMC Per-Order Pricing Does Not Equal Best Value

Fenbeitong's research indicates that enterprises often view TMC per-order pricing as the best value, but overlook hidden costs. While per-order pricing has no fixed annual fee, achieving a full expense control loop requires integrating third-party systems, incurring development, maintenance, and finance labor costs. Integrated travel-expense platforms charge a fixed subscription fee but reduce hidden costs through native full-chain capabilities, potentially lowering overall TCO. The article emphasizes that evaluating value requires considering both explicit service fees and implicit management costs, not just the pricing model.
