The planning and flow of materials across the supply chain are handled by a Transportation Management System
Question:
“The planning and flow of materials across the supply chain are handled by a Transportation Management System (TMS). The core set of business needs handled by a TMS include: routing and rating, executing the shipment across multiple modes, tracking and tracing loads, and freight settlement. This simple booking, execution, and payment perspective focuses on freight management, but a TMS can be much more than a transaction-focused tool. Leading edge TMS suites provide hybrid planning–execution–evaluation capabilities and a wide array of functionality to generate numerous benefits across the entire shipping process.”
