What is freight transport management?

Freight transport management is the term given to the tasks that brokers and third-party logistics providers (3PLs) need to perform in order to get loads to carriers. These tasks include finding loads, posting loads, negotiating prices, tracking carriers, generating invoices, and so much more. Freight management system software, also called transportation management system software, helps to automate and document these tasks so that industry professionals can spend more time connecting and moving freight and less time managing paperwork on their own.

What are TMS management systems?

Transportation management system software (TMS) is software that provides both accounting management tools and document management features for brokers and 3PLs looking to simplify and strengthen their businesses. But top transportation management systems can do so much more! For example, DAT’s transportation management systems also include an analytics platform to deliver industry insights based on real transaction data from the last 15 days, so that you always have the most accurate, up-to-date information about average rates for better negotiations that lead to better income. Plus DAT’s TMS system software lets you bring your load board right into the TMS, to streamline your work even more.

Do you need TMS system software?

While you don’t technically need transportation management system software, there’s no doubt that if you’re looking to succeed as a freight broker, a TMS is practically a requirement. Top transportation management systems will help you keep track of freight, manage accounting, and provide you with an at-a-glance overview of every aspect of your business, so you can manage day-to-day operations while planning for the future. Plus, DAT Broker TMS easily integrates with your other DAT tools, like the industry-leading DAT load board, making it easy to manage your entire business from one place.

Is TMS system software a replacement for my load board?

No. For brokers, 3PLs, carriers, and owner-operators, load boards are still the best way to find the most available loads, the best rates, and connect the right carrier to the right load at the right price. The best transportation management system software will integrate with your load board to centralize all your operations into a single location, making it easier to find and connect carriers and shippers.
