A TMS (Transport Management System) centralises transport planning, execution and monitoring. On the LOGISPLAN blog, you will find articles on how to choose, implement and get the most from a TMS in operations with real-world constraints: time windows, mixed fleets, multiple depots, and cost and service objectives.

Reducing logistics costs requires more than simply cutting resources. Intelligent planning makes it possible to optimise routes, reduce mileage, improve fleet utilisation, avoid waiting times and incidents, control cost per delivery and make data-driven decisions without compromising service levels.

Rate management makes it possible to calculate the real cost of transport alternatives according to distance, weight, volume, zones, vehicles, carriers, surcharges and service conditions. Integrating these costs into planning allows routes to be optimised not only by mileage, but also by profitability and operational efficiency.

Cost per delivery measures how much it really costs to fulfil each order in a distribution operation. To calculate it properly, fixed costs, variable costs, mileage, hours, service times, failed deliveries and delivery density should all be considered, rather than simply dividing total cost by the number of deliveries.

A TMS is a transport management system that helps centralise shipments, routes, costs, carriers, tracking and incidents. Its value increases when it includes route optimisation, allowing companies not only to manage operations but also to plan vehicles, orders, schedules and constraints more effectively.

Route optimisation software helps organise orders, vehicles, schedules and constraints to generate more efficient logistics plans. It does more than calculate the shortest route: it can reduce mileage, improve fleet utilisation, meet delivery time windows and support better operational decisions.
