CargoWise’s Transport Management System (TMS) is a comprehensive module that accelerates the planning, operation, and optimization of transportation operations across all modes (road, rail, air, and sea). It allows logistics companies to efficiently handle freight movements, carrier assignments, planning of routes, dispatching, and real-time tracking. The TMS is fully integrated into CargoWise’s overall supply chain platform, allowing for smooth data sharing between warehousing, forwarding, customs, and accounting services.

TMS allows customers to simplify transport job creation based on shipment milestones, attribute loads to preferred carriers, track delivery status, and manage PODs (proof of delivery). The system also includes carrier ratings, compliance checks, and KPI monitoring for performance analysis. CargoWise TMS optimizes service delivery by consolidating transport data and procedures, reducing the need for human coordination. Whether utilized for domestic transportation or complicated international moves, the TMS provides the capabilities required to cut costs, improve dependability, and ensure on-time delivery.
