logifact® TMS
Transport Managment System
Software system for freight forwarding support
logifact® TMS (Transportation Management System), a forwarding support system, was created to meet the needs of manufacturing, trade and service companies that plan and organise the transport of goods.
The forwarding system is equipped with functionalities to allow streamlining shipping tasks related to transport operations, such as:
- support for the planning of road transport,
- monitoring the progress of transport operations,
- recording and accounting of transport costs.
In a company’s management structure, this system can complement ERP or WMS systems.
When logifact® TMS is used as a stand-alone product unconnected to management systems at other levels, the necessary data can be fed into it manually by the user.
Key functionalities of the logifact® TMS system
- Entering and editing orders, either manually or via an interface from an external system – usually an ERP or WMS system
- Order processing – overview, possibility of pre-planning the shipping date, overall view of the amount of work resulting directly from the need to transport goods from the warehouse to the recipient
- Automatic conversion of orders into transport tasks with the option of splitting the order into smaller parts if it is not possible to transport the entire order
- Manual task entry used when transport tasks do not result directly from customer orders. These can be tasks such as transporting empty pallets, transporting additional marketing material, documents, etc.
- Transport planning including::
- allocation of tasks to the distribution structure (automatic or manual),
- planning of transport resources (based on the number and size of tasks),
- planning of the route of transport vehicles, estimating transport costs,
- interface with external systems – exchange of data on planned transports, as well as on the progress of transports after they leave the warehouse,
- Cost accounting involving the collection of data on the actual costs of transport. This feature can be combined with a breakdown of costs by task, cost type, etc.
