Transplace TMS

Start your shipping day by signing into Transplace TMS and pulling fresh orders from your ERP, EDI feed, or a quick CSV upload. Build loads in bulk with auto-grouping by lane, equipment, and delivery windows, then let the optimizer propose single- or multi-stop routes that respect hours-of-service, dwell limits, and dock schedules. Lock in appointments right from the load screen, compare carrier options, apply contracted rates and fuel programs, and push awards to drivers or providers in one click. Dispatchers can see driver hours, tractor/trailer status, and facility rules before committing, reducing rework and empty miles.

Once freight is moving, switch to the Control Tower workspace for a live command center view. Shipments update continuously using carrier feeds and GPS/ELD signals, with predictive ETAs that factor weather systems, road closures, traffic, and remaining miles. The system highlights stops at risk of delay and opens guided actions: reroute around a storm, reschedule a dock, add notes about detention, or notify the consignee. Rules route alerts to the right person by mode, region, or customer. Use message templates to keep partners informed, and let the customer portal handle self-service: order status, proof of delivery, and historical invoices without a call or email.

Operational teams can manage the fleet alongside third-party carriers in one place. Track asset location, assign equipment by attributes (liftgate, reefer, hazmat), and schedule maintenance without breaking planned tours. Route planners test different sequences to cut miles while keeping SLAs intact, then publish runs to drivers via mobile. Sales and procurement teams can capture volume and early-pay incentives at the shipment level to ensure vendors receive the correct discount and you book savings accurately. Schedulers coordinate pickups and deliveries against facility capacity, smoothing yard flow and trimming detention.

Close the loop with finance and analytics. Auto-rate loads, calculate accessorials, create accruals, and audit invoices against contracts before issuing payment. Generate bills and statements, then export documents as PDF, PNG, or HTML for stakeholders. Push journal entries to your accounting system and summarize carrier performance with scorecards on on-time, cost per mile, tender acceptance, and exceptions. Use scenario modeling to test mode shifts, pooling, or new lanes and see cost and service impact before you commit. APIs connect to ERP, WMS, and data lakes so planning, execution, and reporting stay in sync across the business.
