Better Domestic Surface Transportation Execution
Selecting a Transportation Management Solution to support a company's business objectives requires:
-a frank assessment of primary transportation needs and
-the identification of those workflow processes that could benefit from automation and optimization to reduce significant manual processes and sources of error.
Where domestic surface transportation management is characterized by:
- excessive paper-based processes in execution
- inadequate visibility to current shipments, costs and operations performance,
this can indicate a need for a more granular management and execution solution. Such a system should accurately model and address most common truck freight planning and dispatch processes, supporting:
- automatic rating
- multiple accessorials
- fuel surcharges
- route optimization
- load consolidation.
TMW Systems offers highly flexible and configurable transportation management solutions that focus on execution, visibility and business process integration.
Private Fleet Management Underperforms with Traditional TMS Solutions
When Private Fleets are part of the transportation mix, they should be provided with a technology platform comparable to those in use by high-performing common carriers, enabling them to provide superior service at competitive rates. Elevating the captive fleet to technical parity with commercial carrier operations systems not only improves their responsiveness to parent business needs but provides the basis for continuous improvement in cost reduction and productivity. A TMS designed to deal with commercial carriers alone lacks the power to balance freight assignments, improved efficiencies and cost containment for the private fleet as part of the total logistics operation.
Optimize the contribution of private fleets within the total transportation management function with a TMS solution from TMW Systems. Fully integrate your fleet operations with the management of external transportation service providers to assure the right combination of dedicated service and cost control for your business.
