Definition
A transportation management system is the software a freight forwarder uses as the system of record for shipments: lots, parties, documents, charges, and status. Common platforms include CargoWise, Magaya, Descartes, and GoFreight.
Why it matters
The TMS is authoritative but it does not read email. Someone has to move the data from the inbox into the TMS by hand, which is the bottleneck TIO removes.
How TIO handles it
TIO is TMS-agnostic. It writes approved data to your TMS via API and reads lot state back. No rip-and-replace.
