Here are some common TMS functions that need to be in place:
Rating, Order Entry, Dispatch and Routing Quickly capture load entry, calculate miles, analyze pricing and margins and manage customer and load-specific information to rate, route and dispatch loads for improved distribution efficiency and customer service – while reducing planning time, overhead and empty mileage.
Document and Workflow Management Electronic document management solutions turn trip paperwork, invoices, forms and archived documents into files that are easy to access at any time, leading to better customer service, reduced labor, elimination of paper costs and related waste and increased cash flow.

Connection to Asset Maintenance Managing fleet maintenance as a separate business can reduce costs and improve asset utilization. A connected TMS maintenance solution handles preventive maintenance, breakdowns, parts, warranty claims, fuel, tire usage, scheduling, and reporting, leading to better decisions. TDR Transportes reduced operating expenses by 20% through connected Trimble TMS and Asset Maintenance solutions.
Administrative and Financial Accurate, efficient and cost-effective administrative operations are the backbone of any successful transportation business. A TMS should integrate complex functions into a single, highly streamlined ecosystem that enables control over financial processing and eliminates manual data entry and the potential errors associated with re-keying information.
