A transportation management system (TMS) is the back-office system designed to handle your freight brokerage business. DAT Broker TMS unifies all your TMS services into a single-entry software, so you can manage your business from an easy, intuitive interface. By streamlining your operations, DAT Broker TMS helps you to avoid spending money on new employees and run a more efficient business.
With TMS, transportation services can run without hassle. A TMS service can integrate your accounting system into your carrier documentation, with load tracking and rate optimization features. To make the most out of your brokerage business, DAT Broker TMS can also be used for communicating with customers — from posting loads to onboarding new carriers.
Transportation management systems are used by freight brokers and 3PLs. More generally, TMS software is designed for anyone who is an intermediary in the shipping business — people who connect shippers with carriers and find the right load matches. Your brokerage business can come in all shapes and sizes, from a single broker to a major firm. If you need TMS on multiple computers, DAT Broker TMS can be installed on your in-house server, or delivered via web software.
Freight transport management is a name for the services that brokers and 3PLs need to perform in order to get loads to carriers. There are many different components to transportation management: as a broker, you will need to find loads, post loads, negotiate prices, track carriers, generate invoices, and more. DAT Broker TMS offers a unified place for all your freight transport management needs, so you can consolidate your business operations onto a single software.
An important part of TMS is accounting, which means managing your budget and strategizing to maximize your profit margin. DAT Broker TMS includes a wide variety of accounting features to propel your business forward. These include invoice management (generating, sending, posting, and reporting on invoices), a ledger to view your overall finances, and more. Using a single-entry system, you can manage your accounting and your load postings all in one place.
Transportation management systems are designed to provide the back-end support for your brokerage or 3PL business — which means they should give you as much visibility as possible. The best TMS software uses a combined approach for entering orders, posting loads, managing accounting, and keeping track of your carriers. DAT Broker TMS includes all these features and more through additional modules like CarrierWatch, Intellifax, and LTL consolidation software.
