As a shipper, you face the daily challenge of getting goods to your customers on time, efficiently, and at the right cost. With rising expectations in the supply chain and the increasing complexity of transport flows, manual transport management is simply no longer sufficient.
Adaption offers a smart, flexible solution with its Transport Management System (TMS), giving you full control over your transport processes. Specifically designed to support shippers in optimizing planning, execution, and cost control.
A shipper is the party responsible for sending goods. In the logistics chain, this is typically the manufacturer or supplier who arranges transport—for example, from a factory to a distribution center or from a warehouse to a customer. The shipper makes agreements with carriers or logistics service providers regarding transport method, planning, and related conditions.
Shippers play a central role in the supply chain and are often responsible for initiating shipments, providing shipping documentation, and complying with transport regulations.

With Adaption’s TMS, you manage all your transport activities from a single centralized platform. You select your carriers, request quotes, compare rates, and book transport orders with just a few clicks. This gives you the freedom to choose the best transport option for each shipment, based on price, speed, and reliability.
Our TMS provides extensive tracking and monitoring features. You track shipments in real time and are instantly notified of deviations or delays. This enables timely intervention, proactive customer communication, and higher service levels.
Automated cost calculations and freight invoicing prevent surprises. The TMS automatically compares planned vs. actual costs, giving you fast insight into discrepancies and better control over your margins.
Adaption’s TMS integrates easily with your existing ERP systems, order management tools, and accounting software.

Mark runs a manufacturing company and is responsible for shipping his products domestically and internationally. Previously, he handled transport manually, requesting quotes, comparing prices, and tracking shipments consumed a lot of time and effort. Lack of oversight often led to higher costs and delivery delays.
To professionalize his logistics, Mark chose a Transport Management System (TMS). He quickly saw the benefits:
One central platform: He manages all his transport orders and carriers easily in one system.
Smart carrier selection: Automatic comparison of rates and performance helps him make the best choice every time.
Real-time visibility: He tracks shipments live and can act immediately on delays.

Combining these systems creates a fully integrated supply chain solution where information flows seamlessly and processes align perfectly.
