What a transportation management system does
A transportation management system (TMS) is the orchestration layer for how goods move — planning shipments, optimizing routes, selecting and managing carriers, and tracking freight from pickup to delivery. It sits between the ERP and WMS that decide what ships and the carriers that move it, turning orders into planned, tendered, tracked, and settled loads on one platform.
For shippers and logistics teams, that means lower freight spend, fewer manual handoffs, and shipments you can see in real time — with carrier performance, cost, and service data captured so every move is measurable and every decision is backed by logistics analytics.
What it is
One platform to plan, execute, and track freight
A TMS manages transportation planning, load building, route optimization, carrier selection and management, shipment execution, real-time tracking, and freight settlement across your network.
Connected to ERP and WMS above and carriers and telematics below, it turns orders into optimized, tracked, and settled shipments — the control tower for inbound and outbound freight.
What we build into your TMS
Each capability ties a transportation activity to the data that keeps freight planned, moving, and measurable.
Transportation Planning
Turn orders into planned shipments with the right mode, service, and consolidation.
Route Optimization
Build optimized routes and loads that cut miles, stops, and freight cost.
Carrier Management
Onboard, rate, tender, and score carriers so the right one wins each load.
Shipment Execution
Tender, book, and dispatch loads with documents and status in one flow.
Real-Time Tracking
Live shipment visibility from pickup to delivery with proactive exception alerts.
Freight Audit & Settlement
Match rates, audit invoices, and settle freight without manual reconciliation.
Logistics Analytics
Cost, service, and carrier performance dashboards that surface where to save.
Supply Chain Visibility
End-to-end visibility across orders, shipments, and carriers in one control tower.
ERP & WMS Integration
Connect ERP orders and WMS fulfillment to keep planning and execution in sync.
Where it runs
Who uses TMS software

Why it matters
Move freight on optimized, tracked decisions
- Cut freight spend with optimized routes and loads
- See every shipment in real time, not by phone and email

- Catch delivery exceptions before they become failures
- Settle freight without manual invoice reconciliation
- Connect ERP and WMS so planning and execution align
Transportation, planned and seen end to end
Running freight on spreadsheets and phone calls hides cost, delays, and where shipments actually are. A TMS makes transportation planned and visible.

Frequently Asked Questions
A TMS is the broader orchestration layer for all transportation — planning, carrier management, execution, tracking, and settlement. Our /solutions/freight-management-software page focuses on managing freight moves and spend, which a TMS includes. If you need the full control tower, a TMS is the platform; we build either and cross-connect them.
