FAQs
What you’ll need to know about transportation management systems.
TMS software can plan routes, track shipments, and manage costs. It helps companies optimize their logistics—such as finding cost-effective shipping or identifying ways to reduce emissions—and can be combined with other software, such as warehouse management systems and enterprise resource planning systems, to give a more complete view of supply chain execution.
Having a TMS and WMS on the same platform can:
- Improve data visibility—two systems on the same platform can provide a more comprehensive view of supply chain execution.
- Increase efficiency—by automating and streamlining inventory tracking, order fulfillment, and shipping.
- Improve Communication—WMS and TMS share components for different parts of the supply chain, such order, customer, item and shipment.
- Support real-time data—reducing delays, overhead, and errors caused by legacy integrations, allowing for quicker response to changes in demand or other disruptions.
- Save money—by helping companies identify and eliminate inefficiencies, leading to savings in inventory management, transportation, and logistics.
AI and machine learning assist with tasks too time-consuming to perform manually. Some examples:
- Predictive analytics, where ML can analyze historical data and make predictions about future demand, shipping routes, and other transportation-related factors.
- Automated planning, where ML can identify the most cost-effective options and reduce delivery times.
- Real-time optimization, where ML can analyze data in real-time and adjust routes, delivery schedules, and other logistics-related factors.
- Self-learning, where ML algorithms can process data to continually adapt and improve processes.
- Scalability, where ML can process huge amounts of data and provide insights.
