Enterprise Shipping Solution: Transportation Management System (TMS)

Sharing information within and between enterprises is critical for effective supply chain management. Seamless integration enables TMS to provide enterprise-wide access to valuable logistics information. Real-time access to order and shipment information improves the effectiveness of your e-business and supply chain strategies – enhanced customer service, accurate order tracking and tighter inventory management. TMS’ Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) capabilities are rooted in strategic partnerships, years of proven production implementations, varied and flexible integration tools, expert professional services, and a commitment to logistics execution excellence.

Today’s partnerships include industry leaders such as interBiz Supply Chain Group, Lawson Software, Oracle and SAP, with new alliances being formed continually to provide the most comprehensive solutions to our customers. And because we recognize that you may use custom applications or software from vendors with whom we have no formal partnership, we continue to develop and support effective interfaces to dozens of complementary solutions – Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), e-commerce, inventory management, order management, warehouse management and general accounting packages. Clearly, TMS is uniquely positioned to leverage both the latest EAI technologies and an extensive set of flexible integration tools (XML, ODBC, Neutral Host Interface Tables, shared-file exchange, screen-scraping, etc.), combined with expert professional services to enable you to share information throughout your supply chain – today and tomorrow.
