Freight Tracking Integrations for Your TMS
Real-time updates and maintaining high visibility for shipments can prove to be a real challenge for freight carriers — but that challenge can be overcome with the right tools and technology integrated with your Transportation Management System (TMS). Freight tracking integrations that are available for your TMS platform provide owner-operators and fleet managers with the ability to track shipment statuses in real time, automate customer notifications, and provide end-to-end visibility across your entire freight operation.
When you integrate our Freight Tracking module with the TransPlus TMS, you will discover a wealth of benefits that can contribute to long-term financial success for your freight company. Find out how freight tracking integrations for your TMS can provide a competitive advantage for your freight company with this detailed overview.
The Benefits of Freight Tracking Integrations for Freight Companies
Integrating the TransPlus Freight Tracking module with your TMS provides an immediate shift from reactive tracking to a more strategic, automated, and proactive approach. By moving away from manual driver check calls and email threads, freight carriers can eliminate the complications caused by these communication gaps. This helps ensure that both internal teams and external clients stay informed on shipment status from its origin to its destination.
This technology platform goes beyond simply tracking locations and automates the heavy lifting of customer updates and milestone tracking. With this integration, fleet dispatchers and customer service teams no longer need to send manual updates or handle constant questions about shipment status. Instead — with freight tracking solutions, your TMS provides real-time visibility into shipment progression and delays, allowing your team to focus on maximizing freight operations while the system handles the automated sharing of tracking data.
Key Advantages of Integrated Freight Tracking Solutions
Real-Time Shipment Visibility
This technology replaces manual check calls with real-time location data and status updates. This allows freight carriers to maintain constant oversight of their fleet and provide customers with real-time updates and transparency.
Automated Status Notifications
Freight tracking integrations automatically send milestone updates and delay notifications to customer and stakeholder profiles. When a shipment reaches a specific benchmark, the system updates the data and communicates the status.
Electronic Proof of Delivery (ePOD)
Innovative features allow drivers to capture and upload digital documents and signatures upon arrival. This provides the instant verification needed to accelerate invoicing cycles and resolve billing disputes.
Dynamic ETA Calculations
Freight carriers can employ real-time transit data within the TMS to calculate precise arrival times and automatically adjust for route variables to provide accurate ETA estimates for orders.
Improved Customer Retention
By providing customers with reliable self-service portals and automated reporting, the integration provides the real-time visibility that builds long-term trust, reduces customer churn, and strengthens client relationships.
Easy Tracking Vendor Integrations
The TransPlus Freight Tracking module bridges the gap between third-party tracking networks and your fleet operations. By integrating with leading freight tracking vendors, location data is sent directly to your provider to improve tracking. When an order is created, location updates are automatically sent to your freight tracking platform until delivery.
