What is a transportation management system?

The Transport Management System (TMS) HERMES is an app that deals with the planning, execution and optimization of physical goods movements. It is therefore a logistics platform with which users can control and optimize the daily operation of their transport fleets.

Why do I need a transportation management system?

Transportation management systems help companies move goods in (procurement) and goods out (shipping) with tools such as route planning and optimization, load building, operations management, freight auditing and payment, yard management, order visibility and carrier management. The primary goals of using a TMS are to improve transportation efficiency, reduce costs, improve real-time supply chain visibility and improve customer service.

In addition, route planning for truck drivers has changed significantly in recent years: Transportation as well as the storage, provision and dispatch of goods are now increasingly carried out with the help of the Internet.
