How can a TMS Keep Your Business (and Sanity) on Track
There’s a unique kind of stress that comes with managing transport and logistics. It’s the kind that has you waking up in a cold sweat, wondering if that last-minute shipment made it, or if a driver took an unexpected detour to the scenic route—also known as peak-hour city traffic.
Having spent years in this space, I’ve learned that the key to success isn’t just moving freight; it’s moving it efficiently, profitably, and with enough visibility to prevent a full-blown logistical panic attack. Enter the Transport Management System (TMS)—a tool that, when done right, doesn’t just support your organization’s goals but actively drives them forward.
The Chaos Without a TMS
Let me paint a picture. 5 years ago, I was managing a fleet and thought spreadsheets, phone calls, and gut instinct were all we needed. It was all going well—until it wasn’t. A missed pickup here, an incorrect delivery there, and before you know it, your margins are disappearing faster than your patience.
