What is Transport Management System?

Transport Management System (TMS) is a software system that manages and optimises the transportation process, a subset of supply chain management.

It assists in the planning, execution, and monitoring of logistics processes involved in moving goods from one location to another. TMS enables organisations to make informed decisions regarding transportation modes, carriers, and routes, resulting in increased efficiency, cost savings, and customer satisfaction. The software helps to streamline the transportation process, reducing errors and delays and increasing visibility and transparency. TMS is also known as a transport control system.
