Top Transportation Management System (TMS) Services Companies

Shippers moving freight by truck, rail, ocean or air across many carriers use a transportation management system to plan loads, tender to carriers, track shipments and audit invoices. TMS services firms help them choose the right platform, implement it, integrate it with ERP and warehouse systems and carrier networks, and in some cases run the TMS on the shipper's behalf as a managed service.

To pick a TMS services partner, check which platforms it implements, its experience with your modes and carrier mix, and whether you want software help only or someone to operate the freight desk too.

Buyer's guide

Hiring Transportation Management System (TMS) Services companies

What the work covers, how to judge a partner and what drives the price.

What transportation management system (TMS) services include

Selection work maps the shipper's freight, modes, order volumes and processes, then compares TMS platforms against them. Implementation covers configuring rate tables, routing rules and workflows, connecting carriers by EDI or API, integrating with ERP and WMS, migrating data and training staff.

After go-live, providers offer support, optimization and reporting: analyzing lanes, consolidating loads, benchmarking rates and improving on-time performance. Managed transportation or 4PL providers go further, running carrier procurement, tendering, tracking, exceptions and freight audit and payment through the TMS.

Engagements are fixed-scope implementation projects, ongoing support contracts or managed service agreements billed monthly or per shipment.

Question not covered? Ask our team

TMS services companies help shippers select, implement and run a transportation management system. Their work covers platform selection, configuration, carrier and ERP integration, training, ongoing support and, for managed services, running carrier tendering, tracking and freight audit.

TMS implementation is priced as a fixed fee or time and materials on top of the software subscription. The number of modes, carriers, sites and integrations, data quality and training needs drive the cost. Managed services are priced per shipment or as a share of freight spend.

A TMS is software the shipper uses to plan and execute freight, while managed transportation is a service where a provider runs that work for the shipper, usually on its own TMS. Some shippers start with managed transportation and later bring the TMS in-house.

Industries that move freight regularly use TMS services, including manufacturing, automotive, food and beverage, consumer products, medical supplies and energy. Each brings different needs, such as temperature control for food or tight delivery windows for automotive supply.

A TMS implementation takes as long as the scope and integrations require. Projects stretch when many carriers need EDI or API connections, ERP integration is complex, rate data is messy or the shipper adds modes and sites in later phases.
