Time for a Mid-Year Checkup on Your Transportation Management System
As we reach the midpoint of the year, it’s a good time to reflect on your Transportation Management System (TMS). Is it delivering the efficiency, visibility, and customer experience your business needs? Or are you still working around its limitations?
The truth is, not all TMS platforms are built the same. And if your current system isn’t saving you time, improving accuracy, or giving you a competitive edge, it might be time to look elsewhere.
What Modern Freight Forwarders Expect from Their Transportation Management System
A modern TMS should do more than the bare minimum. Here’s what best-in-class freight forwarding companies are getting from theirs:
Real-Time Shipment Tracking
Your team should always know the current status of shipments, with live updates, predictive ETAs, and automated alerts in place to notify them of any delays.
Seamless Client Portals
Today’s customers expect transparency. Provide them with 24/7 access to shipment tracking, document uploads, and invoice views, all without the need for endless email threads.
Diverse Ecosystem Integrations
Your TMS should connect with the systems you already rely on, rate platforms, carrier APIs, e-invoicing tools, CRMs, and accounting software.
Localization & Compliance
Whether you’re operating in Mexico, Saudi Arabia, or Europe, your transportation management system must support local tax rules, currencies, languages, and compliance requirements.
All-in-One Financial Management
Forget exporting to spreadsheets. A modern TMS should handle invoicing, profit margin tracking, payables, and receivables directly or through seamless accounting integrations.
Automation & Smart Reporting
No more manual exports or complex pivot tables. Generate custom reports, monitor performance, and turn raw data into actionable insights with just a few clicks.
Red Flags That Your Transportation Management System Isn’t Doing Enough
If any of the following sound familiar, it might be time for a change:
- You’re still copying data between systems manually
- Customers are chasing you for updates
- Your team still quotes using spreadsheets
- You’re relying on external tools for compliance and financial visibility
