A transportation management system (TMS) allows companies efficient, reliable, and cost-effective ways to move freight from origin to destination. TMS encompasses solutions for moving cargo in all modes, including intermodal movements. The TMS processes consist of freights transported inbound or outbound, domestically or internationally, using transportation assets owned by the company or an outside service provider. The shipment managed by a transportation management system can have various sizes, from parcels to bulk commodities.
By using a TMS solution, a shipper can reduce freight invoice payments by 90-95% (Cerasis)
TMS solutions compared to traditional transportation management methods perform better in terms of service levels and freight savings.
