TMS Software (Transportation Management System)
A TMS (Transportation Management System) plans, executes and invoices transport operations. Lojisoft TMS runs road, sea, air and rail shipments on one platform, integrated with warehousing and finance.
What is a TMS?
A TMS manages transport end to end: taking the request, choosing the mode and vehicle, planning the load, tracking the shipment, collecting documents, calculating costs and invoicing. A good TMS keeps every step on the same record, so operations, customer service and finance work from the same data.
What Lojisoft TMS covers
| Mode | Key functions |
|---|---|
| Domestic road | Orders, distribution planning, multi-drop, trip costs, subcontractors |

TMS buyer's checklist
- Does it support all the transport modes you use in one system?
- Does it show cost, revenue and profit per trip and per job?
- Does it integrate with your ERP, accounting, e-invoicing and telematics?
- Is there a mobile app for drivers and field teams?
- Can it be configured to your workflow instead of forcing a package on you?
- How do local support, training and go-live work?
TMS vs WMS vs ERP
TMS manages transport, WMS manages stock and movements in the warehouse, and ERP manages company-wide resources and accounting. Lojisoft provides TMS and WMS on one platform and either integrates with your ERP or covers the logistics side with its own finance module.
