Glossar

TMS refers to a digital system for planning, controlling, and monitoring transportation processes. It helps companies organize shipments, select appropriate transportation routes, and make efficient use of transportation capacity.

A Transport Management System manages transport orders, optimizes routes, monitors deliveries, and processes relevant freight data. Through integration with ERP, WMS, and DWS systems, information such as dimensions, weight, and shipment status can be automatically imported. This helps reduce transport costs, make delivery processes more transparent, and manage the entire transport chain more efficiently.

Practical example:
After automatically measuring and weighing a pallet, the WMS transmits the data to the TMS, which then plans the appropriate transportation route and the necessary capacities.
