Transportation Management System (TMS)

Build loads and optimize vehicle space quickly and efficiently while respecting your operational constraints. With SOLOCHAIN™ TMS, there is no more cumbersome, error-prone manual data entry, paperwork, or complicated spreadsheets. Instead, you make decisions based on clear, actionable insight made possible by automated data capture, enabling you to address your transportation needs with confidence. Your experience with a shipper, carrier, or 3PL provider is easily configured in SOLOCHAIN™ TMS to reflect your reality on a given day.

SOLOCHAIN™ TMS provides you with a real-time overview of your flow of goods, budget, and resources. In fact, SOLOCHAIN™ TMS centralizes your inbound and outbound shipments; with it, the physical flow of products, as well as transport expenses, are connected in one transparent system.

This enables you to analyze new, strategic approaches to your transportation network, taking into consideration your geographic reality. Assess cross-dock opportunities or multi-modal transport prior to any changes or investments. Let SOLOCHAIN™ TMS simulate various designs to determine the best transportation solution.

With SOLOCHAIN™ TMS, you can drill down into provided solutions and adjust constraints to investigate the behavior of your transport operations. Adjust the maximum driving time per trip, the maximum number of stops, or the minimum required break time for drivers, and assess the effects in terms of costs and timeliness.

With its built-in maps, SOLOCHAIN™ TMS will help you understand the optimal solution before accepting the proposed routes and loads.

SOLOCHAIN™ TMS effectively manages the relationships with your carriers and 3PL providers. It allows you to select and approach a preferred carrier based on various pricing structures, contract quotas, or past performance.

SOLOCHAIN™ TMS’s bidding feature allows you to approach multiple carriers to obtain last minute offers for your shipments. After an email notification, each carrier can review the shipment request in the portal and place their bid with you.

If you operate a private fleet, SOLOCHAIN™ TMS’s drag-and-drop calendar functionality enables optimum and transparent allocation of vehicles and drivers.

As freight expenses are a big part of your financial picture, accurate processing of invoices and checks and balances is essential. SOLOCHAIN™ TMS offers you a clear view on upcoming freight expenses, provides for verification of incoming carrier invoices, and proposes the ability to simulate ‘what-if’ scenarios for different carriers, rates, and contracts.

With SOLOCHAIN™ TMS, you can anticipate the freight expenses for a specific month, carrier, route, or destination, and drill down to the line item level if needed. With SOLOCHAIN™ TMS centralizing all your transportation efforts into a single solution, you comfortably align the use of key performance indicators (KPIs) and advanced business analytics, no matter where they are in the world.

SOLOCHAIN™ TMS’s web-based carrier portal facilitates secure communication with your carriers. It enables them to accept shipment requests, take appointments, exchange invoices, effect rate changes, and much more.

As new carriers can quickly be onboarded easily, SOLOCHAIN™ TMS will grow with you and your operations.
