With real-time tracking, businesses can provide accurate and up-to-date information to customers regarding the status and estimated delivery times of their shipments.

 

Route optimization

TMS optimizes routing and planning processes, by considering factors such as delivery time windows, load constraints, carrier capacities, and real-time traffic conditions to determine the most optimal routes.

 

Risk management

Transportation management application development helps businesses ensure compliance with transportation regulations and industry standards. It assists in generating necessary transportation documentation, managing customs requirements, and adhering to safety and security protocols.

 

Reduction of human errors

By eliminating manual data entry and providing real-time information, a transportation management application development reduces errors and improves data accuracy.

Applications of TMS Platform
1

Transfer of information: Once there's a match between carrier and shipper on a load, the load tender goes from the shipper to the carrier through electronic data interchange (EDI) and application programming interface (API). To summarize, this allows for the secure exchange of information.

Having the same information accessible by all will also eliminate duplicate data entries both internally (by team members and the back office) and externally (by the driver and customers).
You might say the data exchange and storage capabilities alone make a TMS worthwhile. Depending on how you organize it, many TMSs can integrate with a data management system (DMS) that allows for electronic indexing, sorting, and searching. In short, the electronic exchange of information saves time and money.

2

Dispatching: Once you're ready to dispatch a driver, a TMS can calculate their pay and expenses based on the lane. The TMS can also provide the driver with load and routing details electronically. This can reduce or eliminate calls to the driver to describe the freight.

3

Customer visibility: The customer wants to know the location and status of their freight. Now there's no more calling the driver and then calling the customer with the current update. Customer load tracking provides them the peace of mind that their load of freight is going smoothly. Also, the ability to track their freight online versus making a phone call is convenient and efficient for the customer.

4

Automated invoicing: A fully integrated TMS has the potential to invoice customers automatically. For example, through the Vector mobile app, a driver can trigger load invoicing immediately after delivery.

5

KPI Tracking: Another feature of TMS is key performance indicator (KPI) tracking. One way to measure the degree of success of your company and your individual goals is by using the data your TMS collects.

6

Customer satisfaction: Customers are like you they appreciate easy loads. Customers are busy too. They like knowing their freight is moving. Customers don't like unnecessary phone calls about avoidable issues. A positive customer experience features the smooth exchange of information and a clean bill of lading.
A satisfied customer will come back to you for repeat business. If they're wise, they'll put a premium on your effective customer service. Thus, a TMS forms the backbone of your entire organization. When you consider the return on investment, a TMS is a relatively small investment.

7

Some popular tms options: Trucking is a fast-moving industry where time is money. Do you have the time and organizational energy to chose the wrong TMS? Of course not. So, start your search with some of the most popular TMS platforms on the market.
TMS software which is cloud based means you can access it anywhere and don't need your own servers to run the software. Cloud based software also makes upgrades as easy to install as they are on your phone.
