Is Your TMS Rail-Friendly?

All TMS workflows include functions for planning, execution, tracking and auditing but in order to
support some of the more complex intermodal moves your TMS may need a few tweaks.  Here are some questions to ask yourself if you're in the market for a transportation management system.

Planning

Does your TMS tell you specific data about rail junctions for planning intermodal routes?

Execution

Can your TMS comply with specific HAZMAT rail rules?

Tracking

Does your TMS estimate ETAs and help you make more informed decisions about using rail versus trucking?

Freight Audit

Does your TMS accurately know which parties to pay after all the rail and truck exchange of hands?

  1. A transportation management system or TMS is a category of software that helps in planning and executing the physical movement of goods. It can be used by all members of the supply chain from manufacturers to distributors and third-party logistics providers (3PLs) – virtually any party that wants to coordinate shipments.
