transportation management systems (TMS)
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. This system enhances efficiency and reduces costs by providing real-time data and analytics.
TMS can integrate with other systems, such as Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, to create a seamless supply chain. By improving visibility and communication, a TMS helps companies make informed decisions, ultimately leading to better customer service and increased profitability.
