TransX – Transport Management System
TransX is a powerful Transport Management System (TMS) designed to streamline interactions between an organization’s Order Management System (OMS) and its Warehouse Management System (WMS) or distribution center. It acts as the central hub for managing logistics operations across a network of shippers, carriers, and customers.
Overview
TransX serves as the backbone of logistics management, helping businesses optimize their transportation operations. It includes modules for route planning, load optimization, execution, freight audit and payment, yard management, order visibility, and carrier management.
A fully deployed TMS delivers several key benefits:
-
Reduced costs through better route planning, carrier selection, and load optimization.
-
Improved accountability with full visibility into the transportation chain.
-
Greater flexibility to adapt delivery plans as needed.
-
Enhanced supply chain execution for smoother operations.
TransX is a crucial component of modern supply chain management, integrating seamlessly with ERP systems and legacy order processing modules to improve efficiency from procurement to delivery.
How TransX Works
Typically, TransX operates between an ERP system and a warehouse or distribution management system. Both inbound (procurement) and outbound (shipping) orders are evaluated by the TMS Planning Module, which provides the best routing solutions. Users can review these solutions and select the most efficient and cost-effective carrier.
Once the best provider is chosen, the system automates shipment execution, tracking, and payment processes — from electronic load tendering to freight auditing and final settlement. It also maintains strong integration with ERP systems, ensuring smooth data synchronization.
Licensing Options
TransX is available in several deployment models to suit different business needs:
-
On-Premises Licensing: A traditional purchased license hosted internally.
-
Hosted Licensing (Cloud/SaaS): A remote, cloud-based solution with easier scalability.
-
On-Premises Hosted Licensing: A hybrid model combining on-site control with cloud flexibility.
-
Hosted Free TMS: A no-license, free-to-use hosted version for smaller businesses.
Many providers now offer blended managed and software services, combining logistics expertise with software solutions for maximum efficiency.
