Cross-border freight forwarder orchestration
A forwarder coordinates ocean, air, and trucking legs across Asia, Europe, and the Americas for hundreds of shippers and dozens of carriers.
Connect shippers, carriers, and drivers on one platform. Automate transport planning and freight settlement, and pair natively with WMS Cloud for warehouse-to-delivery execution.

Why TMS Cloud
Three capabilities that turn transport from a cost center into a service differentiator.
Mobile and social channels connect shippers, carriers, drivers, and customers — every shipment, from dispatch to POD, becomes transparent and collaborative.
A powerful rating engine handles the most complex billing rules and generates a single reconciled statement for shippers, customers, and carriers.
Rule-based route optimization matches loads to carriers and lanes automatically, cutting transport spend without sacrificing SLAs.

How TMS Cloud Runs Your Network
A single closed-loop workflow replaces spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls — with every event captured for analytics and audit.
Core Modules
Twelve modules cover the full transport lifecycle — from order intake and route planning to in-transit visibility, settlement, and ESG reporting.

Drivers and customers operate via app / WeChat with e-POD, rating, and instant messaging.
On-site dashboards manage bookings, queue notifications, and yard turnaround time.
Register vehicle details and stream temperature, fuel, and location data from IoT sensors.
Control tower dashboards for cost-per-shipment, on-time rate, and carrier scorecards.
Rule-driven alerts for delays, temperature deviations, and route detours with escalation workflows.
Electronic waybill archive, e-signature POD, and full audit trail for every shipment event.
Per-shipment CO₂ accounting and fuel-cost reconciliation to support ESG reporting.
Business Impact
Real-world Scenarios
Three field-tested scenarios from forwarders, last-mile operators, and shippers.

A forwarder coordinates ocean, air, and trucking legs across Asia, Europe, and the Americas for hundreds of shippers and dozens of carriers.

A retailer runs its own fleet plus 3–5 last-mile carriers across dense metro areas, each with different rate cards, POD rules, and SLAs.

A shipper reconciles thousands of carrier invoices monthly against rate cards, accessorials, and fuel surcharges — mostly on spreadsheets.
