Transportation Management

With rising transportation costs, carrier capacity extremely constrained, and a growing understanding of the role of transportation in overall supply chain excellence, more and more companies are turning to transportation management systems to reduce costs and improve customer service.

Softeon's TMS module includes optimized mode and carrier selection, integration to carriers via the web or EDI, robust reporting and analytic tools, complete shipment visibility, parcel manifesting, and management and printing of all required labels, shipping documents, and export documents, and while the execution tool creates carrier-compliant labels, shipment documents, and export documents.

Unlike many other systems, Softeon's TMS is tightly integrated with its WMS solution, providing an integrated logistics foundation that manages execution and trade-offs between distribution and transportation.

Key features of the TMS module include:

• Powerful planning and shipment consolidation capabilities
• Flexible rating engine and rate management capabilities
• Carrier-compliant labels
• Shipping documents
• Shipment manifest
• Export documents
• Hazmat labels
