Does Your Trucking Fleet Need a New TMS?

Artificial intelligence and better integrations promise less busywork and more useful data. Can your TMS help your company solve problems? Do you need additional vendors or an upgrade? Or is it time to look for a new platform?

Your dispatcher gets a load tender by email, then types the information into your trucking fleet’s transportation management system. Before assigning it, she checks another screen for the driver’s available hours. The truck delivers, but billing still has to track down the paperwork.

If that sounds familiar, the promise of a new TMS that connects everything and automates the busywork can be appealing. But does getting those capabilities mean replacing the system that currently runs your business?

Newer providers are challenging established systems with different approaches to connecting applications and using artificial intelligence. Longtime providers are updating their products, too. And the capabilities a fleet needs may already be available in software it currently uses.
