How does TMS software improve the efficiency of logistics and transportation companies

TMS software or systems are part of the transport fleet management platforms that have increased in users since 2019. Since that year, the trend has been 64%, but the number of companies that ventured into this innovation model technology for 2020 increased by 8%, leaving 72%.

TMS software (Transportation Management System) helps improve the efficiency of logistics and transportation companies.

Can you imagine finishing manufacturing a product and having the carrier be at the door of your warehouse in less than a rooster crow? And control your logistics company through TMS software that allows you to reduce time and improve last-mile delivery efficiency.

And on top of that, without having to call to explain what you must load, what type of truck you need, or your destination.

The world of technologies, advancing in giant steps, allows the union of all the digital links of the production chain between the producer, the carrier, and the end user. And this is thanks to TMS software.

Transport Management Systems are a set of tools that allow information to be exchanged bidirectionally and to all those involved in the business process, for example:

  • THE MANUFACTURER: manufactures the product based on an order collected in a form that establishes some requirements. Once finished, the carrier receives the collection order.
  • THE LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORTATION COMPANY: receives the work order, automatically sending the most appropriate worker. You will know, in advance, the time and place of collection and delivery, the weight and dimensions. Once delivered to the destination, it will report the completion of the service through the client’s signature, so the invoice will automatically be sent to the manufacturer or whoever sends the package.
  • THE CUSTOMER: always knows, and in real-time, when and who will deliver the merchandise. You can even see the carrier’s exact location and time it will arrive. Managing and controlling the entire business process from start to finish increases the organizational capacity of a company, improves productivity, and saves unnecessary costs: saving paper, administration staff, calls, etc.

These systems allow all documents to be digitized and stored when needed, improving product traceability. The complete software also includes a route manager and optimizer, so the transport company will save on fuel, reducing journeys and reducing C02 emissions, improving the quality of the environment.
