What is Transport Management System (TMS)?
Transport revolves around trips that run on time, full and at the right cost. A TMS brings orders, trip planning, execution and billing together and makes the cost price per trip visible, so you plan more efficiently and cost more sharply.
Unlike loose planning boards, a TMS works with order management, trip and load planning, execution and tracking, billing and cost analysis, linked to on-board computer and accounting.
