Transportation Management Systems
A Transportation Management System (TMS) is a software solution designed to help businesses plan, execute, and optimize the movement of goods. It streamlines logistics operations by managing transportation processes, including route planning, carrier selection, and freight auditing. By using a TMS, companies can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance customer service.
TMS solutions often integrate with other systems, such as Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, to provide a comprehensive view of supply chain operations. This integration allows for better data sharing and decision-making, ultimately leading to more effective transportation strategies.
