TMS (Transportation Management Systems) is one of the supply chain execution modules (SCE). Like WMS or MES, they are generally linked to ERPs. Their function is to manage transportation operations at both execution and operational levels. TMS manage three key processes of transportation management: 1. Short term planification and Decision TMS solutions will define the most efficient transport schemes according to given parameters, which have a lower or higher importance according to the user policy: transport cost, shorter lead-time, fewer stops possible to insure quality, flows regrouping coefficient… 2. Transport follow-up TMS solutions will allow following any physical or administrative operation regarding transportation: traceability of transport event by event (shipping from A, arrival at B, customs clearance…), editing of reception, custom clearance, invoicing and booking documents, sending of transport alerts (delay, accident, non-forecast stops…) 3. Measurement TMS solutions have or need to have a Logistics KPI reporting function for transport . Various functions of a TMS: - Planning and optimising of terrestrial transport rounds
- Management of air and maritime transport
- Real time vehicles tracking
- Service quality control
- Transport costs and scheme simulation
- Cost control, KPI reporting and statistics
