A transportation management system (TMS) is a software that deals with the entire transport related activities and operations in an organization. It is generally meant for the control of movement of goods from the suppliers to the production to the end user. The sub products under TMS serve as a hub in a network of carriers, shippers, and customers. The software modules under TMS include route planning & optimization, freight bill & audit, load optimization, order visibility and others.
