A transportation management system (TMS) allows shipping companies to gain insight into their distribution network to improve efficiency and productivity. It simplifies transportation operations by providing supply chain transparency, freight tracking, business insights, and reduced costs. A TMS addresses challenges such as lengthy operations, improper route planning, lack of delivery proof, and high costs. It provides benefits like increased supply chain efficiency and visibility, improved warehouse management, enhanced customer service, and better communication between partners.
