Manages the full process of incoming transport shipments. Users can register incoming shipments, check freight information, and assign shipments to specific destinations or hubs. Even if shipment details are incomplete, cargo can be efficiently processed and scheduled for further distribution. The system also includes an incident module that issues alerts when errors occur during receipt or processing, allowing quick identification and resolution of issues.
Provides full support for managing customs goods, ensuring compliance with current customs regulations. The system enables compliant storage of customs goods in bonded warehouses while tracking the status of the goods. Users can easily manage the customs status, reducing administrative workload and error risk, and enabling efficient and compliant customs handling.
Enables efficient planning and management of loading docks and storage locations. Users can easily reserve docks for loading or unloading goods, allowing specific time slots to be scheduled for arrivals and departures. The system coordinates and optimizes logistics activities by efficiently allocating available locations for pick-up or delivery.
Enables users to streamline operational workflows and structure transport processes for maximum efficiency. This functionality helps automate routine tasks, reducing manual labor and ensuring faster, more consistent processes. Users can set up specific workflows to optimize transport orders, communication, and document management, eliminating bottlenecks, improving team collaboration, and enhancing transport activities.
Enables the registration of all types of transport orders. Customers can effortlessly enter their transport preferences, allowing them to plan and manage their shipments in a tailored manner. This provides both flexibility and ease of use. Users can, for example, specify stops for the shipment and have full control over the sequence of these stops, allowing them to completely customize their transport planning.
Helps efficiently plan transports by assigning shipments to carriers and optimizing routes based on cost, time, distance, and vehicle availability. This ensures a streamlined transport process, where all factors are considered to find the most efficient and cost-effective solution for each shipment.
Enables users to combine several smaller shipments from multiple customers into a single vehicle, thereby optimizing the available loading space. This feature is particularly suitable for shipments that are individually too small to fill a full truck or container, but together form an efficient and cost-effective load.
Allows users to group multiple orders into a single trip, enabling more efficient transport planning. With this functionality, carriers can combine different deliveries and execute them in one trip, thereby maximizing vehicle utilization and reducing the number of trips.
The planboard in Adaption’s TMS gives transport planners real-time overview and control over their trips. With an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, you plan quickly and efficiently, with immediate insight into routes, vehicles, and loads. Ideal for optimal deployment and cost control.

Allows contracts with carriers to be registered, enabling users to easily generate an overview of available carriers and their associated costs. Before a transport order is created, the user defines what needs to be transported. The system then displays a list of carriers able to transport the load, including the rates entered by those carriers. This allows users to select carriers based on contractual agreements, cost, and availability, optimizing collaboration with external transporters (charters).
Optimizes vehicle usage and ensures that available loading space is used as efficiently as possible. Users can input daily capacity per carrier, and the system will automatically schedule the most efficient layout upon receiving a request. This maximizes transport resource use and streamlines shipment planning.
Users can easily request quotes from carriers and compare rates to make the most cost-effective choice for their shipments. With the Quotation Request feature, users can also request quotes from carriers not yet in the system. This gives users the flexibility to involve not only existing carriers but also new transport partners, ensuring they always find the best value for their transport solutions.
What truly makes this system unique is that no additional manual actions are required as long as the order is in order. The WMS performs a quality check, provides packaging instructions, and allows users to easily add costs to shipments. This makes the entire process automated and efficient, with minimal effort from the user.
Offers extensive capabilities to calculate and manage transport costs. The system records freight costs, fuel surcharges, and other transport-related costs while also enabling revenue calculation. It supports invoicing, allowing users to generate invoices based on registered costs and revenues. This provides complete insight into both the costs and returns of transport activities, enabling accurate financial control and improved profitability.

The TMS performs quality checks, provides detailed shipping instructions, and allows users to easily add extra charges, such as fuel surcharges or loading costs. This streamlines the entire process with minimal user effort.
Gives customers insight into the status of their transports, showing when a shipment departs and arrives. Customers can also see in the portal when the driver has reached specific stops. Integrations with systems like Astrata and TomTom Webfleet provide information on where the driver has been and which locations are still to be visited. This data is fed back to Adaption, offering users an overview of transport progress. Companies can thus provide accurate, up-to-date delivery status to customers.
A graphical and interactive view of both planned and unplanned transport orders. This tool provides complete and detailed information about all transport activities, giving users easy insight into the status of their shipments.

Provides a central, secure, and accessible location for all transport-related documents. The system allows management of a wide range of documents, such as CMS, TR documents, waybills, LSP bookings, transport bookings, full DMS documents, and custom documents. This ensures efficient document handling and simplifies organization and retrieval of all necessary transport documentation.
Provides users with valuable insights into transport performance, such as delivery reliability, transport costs, and vehicle utilization. This functionality supports performance measurement, trend identification, and data-driven strategic decisions. With comprehensive reports, companies can optimize their transport processes and better adapt to changing logistics conditions.
Provides an integrated solution for efficient communication with transport partners, customers, suppliers, and internal teams. Through a central customer and supplier portal, users can easily access their shipments, share documents, and view their inventory status in real time. In addition, the portal allows customers to automatically receive weekly inventory reports according to a predefined schedule, ensuring they are always up to date. Carriers can also send messages within the system, eliminating the need to use email for communication. This functionality promotes transparent and direct communication, enabling smoother processes and better-informed customers.
