A TMS software can help any business organise their logistical requirements efficiently using the following steps –
Fundamentally, transport management software is a storehouse of detailed information about carriers as well as a transactional and communication system that enables users to plan, execute, and track shipments. To achieve that, it must have strong integration with carrier systems and data sources or some way to download carrier information. It must also make possible the entry of customer orders that specify what is to be shipped.
Usually, orders come in automatically from ERP or order management systems that are integrated with the TMS. A TMS system will sometimes be integrated with a warehouse management system (WMS) to enable better coordination of the tasks that occur at the interface of warehouses and freight shippers, such as palletisation of goods, labour scheduling, yard management, load building, and cross-docking.
The three main SCM (supply chain management) systems are –
Each has important but very different roles to play in processing orders. Integration among the three enables them to share certain types of data and standard documents that are necessary for getting the right products to customers on time and as efficiently as possible.

A transportation management system (TMS) is a logistics platform that uses technology to assist businesses in executing, planning, and optimising the physical movement of goods, both outgoing and incoming while making sure the shipment is compliant with proper documentation.
TMS provides clarity into day-to-day transportation operations, trade compliance information and documentation, and ensures the timely delivery of freight and goods. Transportation management systems also streamline the shipping process and make it easier for businesses to manage and optimise their transportation operations, whether they are by land, air, or sea.

Our website provides information about the various modules we offer, the combinations of which are divided into three versions bronze, silver, and gold.

In addition to GPS-based cargo tracking, Ripples-FMS offers an effective tyre management system that gives you an idea about the life of a tyre in the case of both vehicle management-based and tyre-based usage. The retreading and recycling of tyres can be recorded and managed accordingly. Tyres can also be tagged with sensors to identify potential theft.
Ripples-FMS has a GPS-based cargo tracking system that enables our customers to know where the truck is at a given point in time. There is much more than just location tracking and truck monitoring. It even provides you with details such as the driver’s behaviour, the condition of your cargo, tampering alerts, etc. on the go. We can also calculate the additional maintenance cost incurred due to a particular trip, including that of fleet fuel tracking in vehicle management.
The basic difference between cloud-based Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and on-premise models is where the software resides. On-site TMS software is installed on your local servers, while cloud-based TMS software is hosted on a vendor’s server and accessed via your web browser. However, cloud-based TMS software is deemed more effective these days due to advantages like reduced cost, accessibility, improved security, scalability, etc.
Flexible third-party integration with fuel, driver expenses, and logistics reduces a tremendous amount of man-hours. Integration with a sensor-based fuel monitoring system (otipetrosmart) helps create a fully automatic fuel stock system. Integration with Inter Africa Transport Forex makes driver expenses, outside fuelfiling, and on-road services like parking, road toll tax, etc., cashless. Integration with warehouse software helps to update logistics order information automatically, making the process faster. Integration of different GPS providers in a single window makes tracking easier. (As there are so many transporters, they use different providers.) Twilio, Sage, and SMS are some of the platforms that Ripples integrates with.
Yes. The Ripples-FMS Transport management software can export reports into different formats like PDF, Excel, etc.
Yes. This TMS system does support effective dates, i.e., start dates and stop dates for rates.
Any company, large or small, can benefit from the streamlining capabilities of TMS. The only thing you need to do is be aware of their requirements and choose a TMS system that best suits their needs. A cloud-based TMS software would be ideal for small companies because it requires zero infrastructure and is cost-effective. All you have to do is consider your current level of technology and your goals for the system instead of getting caught up in comparing the features and pricing of various TMS software.
Some of the key benefits of using a cloud-based TMS are no physical servers, cost-effectiveness, increased accessibility, Data analytics, quicker deployment, digital fleet tracking, greater scalability, minimal IT management, automatic back-ups etc.
