A TMS (Transport Management System) is expected to reduce wasted mileage, improve fleet utilisation, track costs, increase visibility and accountability and improve customer satisfaction. But how to choose an effective TMS to achieve all above benefits and move from a paper based system?
Fleet Utilisation Optimisation:

These features give the Hauliers flexibility and insight in real-time to deal with problems such as traffic management, extra incurred costs, delivery scheduling issues.
