# MercuryGate vs Oracle TMS: Which Enterprise TMS Wins in 2026? MercuryGate, now rebranded to Infios, holds 4.0/5 across 16 G2 reviews and 3.4/5 on Capterra. Oracle TMS holds 4.2/5 across 33. This is an ERP-fit decision more than a feature fight. MercuryGate (Infios) = cloud-native, ERP-agnostic, multi-modal.Oracle TMS = ERP-native, higher-rated, tightly integrated.Oracle TMS wins decisively if you already run Oracle ERP, Fusion Cloud, or E-Business Suite, with native integration and one vendor instead of two, while MercuryGate (Infios) wins for companies that want a dedicated, cloud-native, ERP-agnostic TMS covering truckload, LTL, intermodal, ocean, air, and parcel in one platform.If you are not on Oracle ERP and have no plan to move there, MercuryGate (Infios) is the more consistent implementation regardless of which financial system sits behind it. ## Key facts - MercuryGate rebranded to Infios in March 2026 as part of a broader supply chain execution rebrand. The product, the platform, and most of the team carried over. Reviews and pricing cited here predate the name change and were published under MercuryGate. - MercuryGate (Infios) carries 4.0/5 across 16 G2 reviews and 3.4/5 on Capterra, a smaller and lower sample than Oracle TMS's 4.2/5 across 33 G2 reviews. - Oracle TMS lists an entry point around $450/mo, but that number describes a small deployment. Real enterprise contracts for both platforms land in six-figure annual territory, often $80,000 to $250,000 or more depending on shipment volume and modules. - The decision is fundamentally about ERP fit, not feature depth. Oracle TMS wins decisively for companies already running Oracle ERP, Fusion Cloud, or E-Business Suite, because the integration is native rather than bolted on. - MercuryGate (Infios) wins for companies that want a dedicated, ERP-agnostic multi-modal TMS, built cloud-native as SaaS from early on, covering truckload, LTL, intermodal, ocean, air, and parcel in one platform. ## Tools compared ### MercuryGate (Infios) Score: 8.6/10 Rating: 4.0/5 (G2 · 16 reviews) **Starting price:** $80,000 to $250,000/yr, scales with volume **Best for:** Multi-modal shippers who want an ERP-agnostic dedicated TMS **Standout:** Cloud-native SaaS architecture with broad multi-modal coverage in one platform **Weakness:** Smaller review sample, implementation complexity, UI feels dated next to newer entrants ### Oracle TMS Score: 8.9/10 Rating: 4.2/5 (G2 · 33 reviews) **Starting price:** From $450/mo entry, scales into six/seven-figure enterprise contracts **Best for:** Companies already running Oracle ERP, Fusion Cloud, or E-Business Suite **Standout:** Native integration with Oracle financials, procurement, and supply chain modules **Weakness:** Heavy integration lift for non-Oracle shops, pricing scales hard past the entry number ## Side-by-side | Criterion | MercuryGate | Oracle TMS | |---|---|---| | G2 rating | 4.0/5 | 4.2/5 | | G2 review count | 16 | 33 | | Capterra rating | 3.4/5 | Not independently tracked at the same volume | | Entry price | Custom quote, typically $80K-250K/yr | From $450/mo, real deployments far higher | | Pricing model | Volume and module based | Module and user based, scales with ERP bundle | | Architecture | Cloud-native SaaS from early on | Cloud, tightly coupled to Oracle Cloud SCM | | Best if you already use | Any ERP, or no dominant ERP | Oracle ERP, Fusion Cloud, or E-Business Suite | | Multi-modal coverage | Truckload, LTL, intermodal, ocean, air, parcel in one platform | Strong, but modal depth varies by module configuration | | Implementation timeline (Oracle shop) | Consistent regardless of ERP, months either way | Faster, integration is largely pre-built | | Implementation timeline (non-Oracle shop) | Consistent, still months | Much slower, heavy custom integration work | | Ecosystem lock-in | Low, ERP-agnostic by design | High, best value tied to the broader Oracle suite | | Our score (out of 10) | 8.6 | 8.9 | ## More *Affiliate note: some links below are affiliate links and we may earn a commission at no cost to you.

The company rebranded to Infios in March 2026, folding MercuryGate into a broader supply chain execution portfolio under the new name. The product did not disappear. The TMS platform, the customer base, and most of the product team carried forward under the new brand. What changed is the name on the login page and the marketing site. Every G2 review, Capterra rating, and pricing figure cited in this comparison was published under the MercuryGate name, before the switch. We have kept that framing throughout because that is the data that exists. Where we say "MercuryGate," read it as MercuryGate/Infios, the same platform either way. ## What MercuryGate and Oracle TMS actually cost {#pricing} Neither vendor publishes a real rate card for enterprise deployments, and the numbers that do show up publicly can mislead you if you take them at face value. **MercuryGate (Infios)** typically runs $80,000 to $250,000 per year depending on shipment volume, number of modules, and modal coverage. There is no meaningful entry tier below that range for a real deployment. This is enterprise software priced as enterprise software from the first conversation. **Oracle TMS** advertises an entry point around $450 per month for smaller deployments. That number is real, but it describes the smallest possible footprint. Once you scale to enterprise shipment volumes and bundle in the modules most companies actually need, Oracle TMS contracts land in six-figure and often seven-figure annual territory, particularly when packaged with the broader Oracle SCM Cloud suite. The takeaway is simple. Both platforms scale into serious enterprise spend. The "starting price" you see for Oracle TMS is a floor for a use case almost nobody in this comparison actually has. ## The cost nobody quotes: implementation {#implementation-cost} This is where the ERP question stops being theoretical and starts affecting your budget. **Oracle TMS** implements fast, if you are already on Oracle ERP, Fusion Cloud, or E-Business Suite. Because the TMS shares a data model and integration layer with the rest of the Oracle stack, financials, procurement, and supply chain connections are largely pre-built. A company already living inside Oracle's ecosystem can be operational in a fraction of the time a from-scratch integration would take. Flip that around and the picture changes completely. For a company not on Oracle ERP, Oracle TMS implementation turns into a heavy custom integration project. You are building the connective tissue Oracle assumes already exists, and the timeline stretches out accordingly. **MercuryGate (Infios)** does not have that swing. Implementation is more consistent regardless of what ERP sits behind it, because the platform was designed to be ERP-agnostic from the start. That consistency is a form of predictability, even if it is not always the fastest path for any single customer. | | MercuryGate (Infios) | Oracle TMS | |---|---|---| | Implementation, Oracle ERP shop | Same as any customer, months | Faster, integration largely pre-built | | Implementation, non-Oracle shop | Same as any customer, months | Much slower, heavy custom integration | | Predictability | Consistent across customers | Highly dependent on existing ERP | | Specialist partner | Often used for complex multi-modal rollouts | Often Oracle-certified integrator | ## What MercuryGate (Infios) does better than Oracle TMS {#mercurygate-wins} **Multi-modal breadth in one platform.** Truckload, LTL, intermodal, ocean, air, and parcel all live inside the same system. Reviewers cite this as the core reason they picked MercuryGate over narrower point solutions that force a shipper to stitch together separate tools per mode. **Cloud-native SaaS architecture.** MercuryGate was built as SaaS from early on, not adapted from an on-prem legacy base the way some enterprise TMS platforms were. That matters for upgrade cadence, for how quickly new features reach customers, and for how the platform behaves under scale. **ERP-agnostic flexibility.** You are not locked into a single financial system to get full value from the TMS. A company running SAP, NetSuite, a homegrown ERP, or nothing centralized at all gets the same implementation experience as a company running Oracle. That flexibility is worth real money to a shipper that does not want its logistics stack held hostage by its finance stack. ## What Oracle TMS does better than MercuryGate {#oracle-wins} **Native ERP integration, for Oracle shops.** This is the single biggest differentiator in the category. A company already running Oracle Fusion Cloud or E-Business Suite gets a TMS that shares a data model with financials and procurement out of the box. That is not a nice-to-have, it is the entire value proposition. **Unified financial and logistics data model.** When the TMS and the ERP are the same vendor, freight cost data flows into financial reporting without a reconciliation layer in between. For a finance team that has been manually matching freight invoices to GL entries, this alone can justify the switch. **Single vendor relationship and broader support infrastructure.** One contract, one support organization, one roadmap to track, across finance, procurement, and logistics. Oracle's support and partner ecosystem is also larger than MercuryGate's, which matters when something breaks at 2am during peak shipping season. **Larger, higher-rated review base.** 4.2/5 across 33 G2 reviews against MercuryGate's 4.0/5 across 16. The sample sizes are both small for enterprise software, but Oracle's is more than double, and the star rating edges higher. ## Where MercuryGate and Oracle TMS are at parity {#identical} Stop comparing on these. Both handle them at a level appropriate for enterprise shippers, and the decision should not turn on any of them. - **Core transportation execution.** Load tender, carrier selection, tracking, and settlement are table stakes both platforms deliver. - **Reporting and analytics.** Both offer configurable operational and financial reporting suites, though depth varies by module. - **Carrier network connectivity.** Both connect to large carrier networks via EDI and API for tendering and tracking. - **Enterprise-grade security and uptime.** Neither is a meaningful risk factor at this price point. Both meet standard enterprise requirements. ## Integration depth {#integrations} Oracle TMS's integration story is dominated by one relationship: Oracle's own ERP, procurement, and SCM Cloud modules. Outside that ecosystem, integrations exist but require more custom work, and reviewers note the gap between "integrates with Oracle" and "integrates with everything else" is real. MercuryGate (Infios) integrates broadly across ERPs, warehouse management systems, and carrier networks by design, since the platform was never meant to assume a specific finance stack sitting behind it. That breadth comes at the cost of not having the single deep native connection Oracle TMS has with its own suite. If your company runs Oracle ERP, test the native integration during evaluation and treat it as the deciding factor. If you run anything else, both platforms require real integration work, and MercuryGate's ERP-agnostic design tends to be the more predictable path. For where both sit in the wider category, see our [best freight management software](/list/best-freight-management-software/) list. ## Reliability and support {#support} Oracle draws on a much larger support and partner infrastructure than MercuryGate. For an enterprise shipper already inside the Oracle ecosystem, that means access to Oracle-certified integrators, a broader knowledge base, and support processes that scale across a huge existing customer base. MercuryGate's support organization is smaller, consistent with its smaller review base and company size. Reviewers do not flag major support complaints, but the depth of resources behind Oracle is simply larger by scale. Both platforms warrant negotiating an explicit support SLA into the contract rather than accepting the standard tier, particularly given how much money is on the table at these contract sizes. ## MercuryGate or Oracle TMS, by your ERP situation {#recommendation} **Already running Oracle ERP, Fusion Cloud, or E-Business Suite.** Oracle TMS, and it is not close. Native integration with financials and procurement, a unified data model, and one vendor relationship outweigh whatever feature gap exists on the TMS side alone. This is the scenario Oracle TMS was built for. **Not on Oracle ERP, and no plan to move there.** MercuryGate (Infios). You will not get Oracle TMS's core advantage anyway, and the ERP-agnostic design means implementation does not depend on which finance system happens to sit behind your logistics stack. **Need multi-modal breadth specifically.** MercuryGate (Infios). Truckload, LTL, intermodal, ocean, air, and parcel in one platform is the clearer answer for a shipper whose freight mix spans several modes and wants one system of record rather than several modules bolted together.

MercuryGate rebranded to Infios in March 2026 as the company consolidated its supply chain execution portfolio under one name. This is a rebrand and a portfolio merge, not a shutdown. The TMS platform, the customer contracts, and most of the product team carried forward. If you are searching for MercuryGate in 2026 and finding Infios instead, that is the same company. Reviews and pricing referenced across this comparison were published under the MercuryGate name before the switch, and we have kept that framing because that is the data that exists. ### Is Oracle TMS a good fit if we don't already run Oracle ERP? Usually not the first choice. Oracle TMS's biggest advantage, native integration with Oracle financials and procurement, disappears if there is no Oracle ERP on the other end. Without that, you are building custom integration work that a dedicated TMS vendor would not require, and the implementation timeline stretches out accordingly. Companies not on Oracle ERP and with no near-term plan to move there generally get more consistent value from MercuryGate (Infios) or another ERP-agnostic platform. Oracle TMS earns its price when the ERP is already Oracle. Outside that, you are paying for integration depth you cannot use. ### Is the $450/mo Oracle TMS price real? It is a real entry point, but it describes a small deployment, not a typical enterprise contract. Once you scale to the shipment volumes, user counts, and module coverage that most enterprise shippers actually need, Oracle TMS lands in six-figure or seven-figure annual territory, especially when bundled into the broader Oracle SCM Cloud suite. Treat the published entry price as a floor for the smallest possible use case, not a planning number for a real deployment. ### How does MercuryGate's multi-modal coverage compare to Oracle TMS? MercuryGate, now Infios, was built to handle truckload, LTL, intermodal, ocean, air, and parcel inside a single platform, and reviewers consistently cite that breadth as the reason they chose it over narrower point solutions. Oracle TMS covers similar modal ground, but the depth in any given mode depends more on which modules you configure and license. For a shipper whose freight mix spans several modes and wants one system rather than several configured modules, MercuryGate's multi-modal design is the more purpose-built answer. ### Can we switch from Oracle TMS to MercuryGate, or the other way, without a full ERP change? Yes, and it happens in both directions. Moving from Oracle TMS to MercuryGate (Infios) is common among companies that migrated off Oracle ERP for finance but stayed on Oracle TMS out of inertia, since the TMS no longer needs to be tied to the ERP vendor. Moving from MercuryGate to Oracle TMS usually follows a company standardizing its entire stack on Oracle Fusion Cloud and deciding a single-vendor relationship across finance and logistics is worth the switching cost. Either move is a multi-month project, not a weekend migration, so budget it as a program with a parallel run period.
