Trimble introduced its cloud-native transportation management system (TMS) for North American shippers, connecting the Trimble ecosystem to manage modern supply chain complexities. The TMS allows shippers and third-party logistics providers to automate fragmented workflows and improve carrier-shipper transactions within a single, connected environment.
“In an era of constant disruption, shippers need an agile TMS that acts as a strategic nerve center for logistics,” says Chris Keating, SVP, transportation and logistics at Trimble. “Our AI-driven platform allows customers to build their ideal system — selecting functionalities they need, from freight procurement to settlement — without the burden of ‘ripping and replacing’ existing infrastructure. By combining cloud-native architecture with a global network of 210,000-plus carriers and 1,500-plus shippers, Trimble enables end-to-end visibility and operational efficiency.”
Key takeaways:
· Trimble TMS for Shippers is an agile, AI-integrated transportation management system that combines automation and real-time visibility in one core bundle. Designed for scale, it allows companies of all sizes to build a custom TMS by adding additional point solutions as needed. Trimble TMS for Shippers provides a flexible and unified end-to-end solution, with access to tools from freight procurement to settlement, to help boost supply chain optimization and operational scalability.
· Key offerings include advanced solutions for transport planning and execution, freight marketplace sourcing, freight visibility, dock and yard management, freight audit, and mapping and routing.
· By leveraging AI to automate freight planning and assignment, predictive ETA tracking, carrier vetting and more, the solution streamlines manual workflows, enhances analytics and helps to ensure compliance. It enables users to navigate real-world disruptions using agile planning tools that can account for weather and geopolitical volatility, while supporting sustainability practices such as reducing carbon emissions through optimized network visibility and improved truck fill.
