What is a Transportation Management System (TMS)?

A Transportation Management System (TMS) is software that helps businesses handle the movement of goods from warehouses to customers. The main purpose is to make shipment planning, execution, and cost management easier and more efficient. With a TMS, teams can easily work together with suppliers, carriers, and customers. It can be used on its own or as part of bigger systems like ERP.

Yes, a TMS can significantly lower costs by:

Reducing manual errors through automation.

Optimizing delivery routes to save fuel and time.

Providing insights into carrier performance for better rate negotiations.

A TMS works by integrating with a company’s existing systems, such as its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, customer relationship management (CRM) system, and order management system (OMS). This integration allows the TMS to access and analyze data from these systems, such as shipment details, carrier information, and customer data.
