Transportation Management Software Business Benefits

Enterprises seeking competitive advantage through the efficiency of their distribution operations require flawless, accurate and timely shipping. EliteSeries Transportation Management System (TMS) empowers shippers by optimizing the rating, routing, manifesting, tracking and post-shipment analysis for all small package and LTL shipments.

EliteSeries TMS offers a range of solutions from simple, traditional multi-carrier shipping to high-volume, highly automated solutions — all designed to fit your goals and your budget.

For companies that want more from a transportation management solution, EliteSeries TMS delivers:

• Planning
  • Integrate TMS with order management to enhance customer service and control costs;
  • Integrate TMS into fulfillment processes for better warehouse management (e.g. print shipping labels as carton labels for picking);
  • Use TMS' Routing Guide to clearly define rules for carrier selection and shipment routing;
  • Use mode switching for air-to-ground or parcel-to-LTL when appropriate;
  • Integrate TMS with package handling systems, such as conveyor and diverter systems, to maximize the effectiveness of automation in your facility.
