Transport Management (TMS)
TMS plans and tracks transportation. It focuses on routing, carrier selection, and delivery performance.
What it is
TMS plans and tracks transportation. It focuses on routing, carrier selection, and delivery performance.
What it does day to day
- Plan routes and delivery sequences.
- Assign shipments to drivers or carriers.
- Track progress, delays, and proof of delivery.
- Optimize cost and on-time performance.
Typical data
- Stops, routes, and delivery windows.
- Carrier and driver details.
- Shipment documents and signatures.
- Exceptions and delay reasons.
Where it overlaps
- OMS for the orders being delivered.
- WMS for outbound loading.
- ERP for freight cost accounting.
When TMS is the priority
- Delivery routes are manual or inefficient.
- Proof of delivery is missing or delayed.
- Transport costs are rising without visibility.
