We developed a Transport Management System specifically aimed at the needs and wishes of shippers and manufacturers. The TMS for shippers is the perfect addition to your existing ERP systems not covering all the logistics processes. It acts as a complete platform in which communication, planning and registrations are made insightful.
The logistics market is a dynamic and demanding market that is constantly changing. Expectations are rising for expeditors, shippers and logistics service providers. Fast deliveries at the lowest possible rate have become the new standard. Organizing and managing all supply chain activities as efficiently as possible ensure businesses obtain a competitive advantage.
Logistics supply chain complexity has increased substantially over time. A TMS and software solutions, in general, have become essential in managing the supply chain. With changing market demands, Transport Management Systems should be easily adjustable towards sudden and future changes. Choosing such a Transport Management System will ensure that you work faster at lower costs and ultimately increase revenues.

A TMS is more than just a piece of software used to plan shipments and transport. In our opinion, it should entail a set of tools granting users total control of all logistics activities. Adaption’s TMS offers you these tools through the Logistics Cloud Suite, a bundled set of tools to help businesses grow in efficiency and revenues.
Your supply chain partners can easily be linked to the TMS, establishing a complete connection of all supply chain parties and thus creating synergy. As a result, there is a central overview of logistics files. This offers insight into all activities, duties and relevant documents of all involved parties. The transport management system operates in the cloud, enabling the user to have access to all data at any moment and on any device.
Do your business activities involve the shipment of goods? If so, you’re probably already aware of the importance of successfully managing these shipments. In addition to our standard TMS, Adaption has developed a Transport Management System specifically designed for shippers. An ERP system is usually limited in means of managing and organizing your logistics processes.
Many businesses are currently using a combination of Word files, Excel spreadsheets, and extensive telephone- and e-mail communication to sort, organize and manage their logistics activities. Adaption’s Transport Management System simplifies this process for you. In the schedule on the right, you can see an example of how our TMS can aid you in reducing time and costs and increasing overall efficiency.
The advantages of a TMS for shippers:

Adaption offers all of its products in the cloud. The benefit of working with a cloud-based TMS is that all supply chain parties can get access to the TMS. You, as the owner of the solution, decide what information is made available. Cloud-based software is generally a lot cheaper than on-premise software. It also guarantees organisations of periodic releases that constantly add innovative functionalities.
The carrier management module provides all purchase- and sales tariffs. They are ready for use and fully integrated into the system.
When a transport request is received, you can easily link it to an available carrier. However, sometimes, the correct one might not be on the list. The TMS offers options to quickly and easily request quotes from alternative suppliers.
Once a request converts into an order, the status change will be visible within the transport management system. Users can then easily communicate the order, documents and information to relevant parties.
When actual data differs from planned data, the system will automatically generate an incident- or non-conformity- report. Users receive an automated notification. The notification requests them to take the right actions. They will also have the option of informing other parties of the incident. Our adaptive workflow enables businesses to set up these non-conformities and corresponding notifications to their liking.
Always an overview of real-time data of your logistic activities. Each user can configure their own dashboard. Due to the flexible configuration of the dashboards, employees see data and information relevant to their tasks. The interactive possibilities of the TMS system allow for personalized management reports.
You can easily match your incoming invoices to precalculated costs. The TMS offers you a complete insight into the difference between your actual and precalculated logistics costs.
The logistics planboard offers efficient planning. It creates graphic insights into predictive logistics results throughout a period. Handy filters allow users to personalize the planboard and show applicable data.
The TMS offers various integrations with external software and external parties, such as EDI, FTP, CSV and customer/supplier portals. The generic set-up of our interface module ensures we establish an interface and connection with almost every software supplier available. Connecting to, for instance, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Portbase, Transporeon en PTV belongs to the possibilities.
