Transport management systems (TMS) leverage technology and real-time data to help businesses plan, move, and optimise the movement of incoming and outgoing goods. It also automates otherwise time-consuming tasks, such as invoicing/billing and compliance documentation.

Transport management systems can either be cloud-based or installed on-premise. Cloud-based transportation management systems, such as the platform we offer in TransVirtual, are accessed via the internet, allowing for real-time updates. They’re more scalable, secure and offer better integration capabilities.

Modern TMS software includes features that ensure timely delivery of goods:

a. Planning: A TMS helps businesses select the best carrier and mode of transport based on cost, efficiency, and distance. It also considers factors like delivery deadlines, vehicle capacities, and carrier performance. Valuable data like this ultimately leads to significant cost savings and improved delivery times.

b. Tracking and delivery: Advanced TMS solutions provide real-time track and trace functionalities, so you get updates throughout the full lifecycle of a load. Upon delivery, you can use electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) to confirm receipt, ensuring accurate documentation.

c. Analytics and optimization: TMS software gathers transportation data to help you forecast demand, assess rates and profitability, and swiftly adapt to unforeseen events. You can also leverage powerful analytics tools to measure and track performance over time.

TransVirtual incorporates all these in one powerful transportation management system. Have a specific feature you’re looking for? Talk to our experts for a free assessment.
