TMS: Bigger Than You Think
Overview Until recently, the TMS solution was targeted to baseline transportation execution capabilities. The TMS completed the order fulfillment cycle by providing the machinery to arrange and execute delivery of goods to customers, or in the case of an inbound sourcing path, to move goods from the supplier's facility to the company's. Key baseline capabilities included the import of orders into the transportation system from a host ERP or Order Management System (OMS), grouping of orders into shipments, assignment of carriers, tendering to the carriers, confirmation, in-transit visibility and possibly resolving freight settlement all in one system. Much of the value of the system lay in providing a complete environment in which transportation planners could, in a single place, manage the complete delivery process of goods shipment.
