TMS Order Module Transforms Carrier Transportation Management Systems with Advanced Machine Learning Capabilities
LAS VEGAS, September 16, 2024 — Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today the all-new cloud-based Trimble TMS Order Module, an advanced Transportation Management System (TMS) tool that adds a modern, map-based order entry experience to the Trimble TMW.Suite™ and Trimble Innovative IES truckload carrier Transportation Management Software (TMS) solutions. Through the power of machine learning and predictive analytics, the TMS Order Module actively optimizes full truckload carriers’ freight network balance in their existing TMS workflow, increasing operational efficiency and reducing empty miles.
The new TMS Order Module is the first in Trimble’s modular transportation management series, with the goal to deliver improved, next-gen functionality to Trimble’s current TMS customers in a module-by-module approach. The result allows Trimble customers to enhance their existing Trimble TMS with modernized and AI-driven workflows without unnecessary disruptions to their dynamic transportation businesses or system implementations.
By leveraging Trimble’s industry-leading commercial map visualization and employing predictive analytics-based tender grading directly within the order workflow, the new TMS Order Module realizes this innovative modular-delivery vision – with impactful network optimization functionality that can be quickly and easily implemented for existing Trimble TMW.Suite and Innovative TMS customers. The solution also boasts dynamic area balance visualization to balance orders and available drivers – providing TMS users the visibility and actionable data required to optimize network fluctuations as they happen live.
“By integrating leading-edge optimization capabilities directly within a carrier’s existing TMS workflow, Trimble is setting a new benchmark in transportation management technology,” said Kelly Williams, vice president, enterprise product management, Trimble Transportation. “We’re transforming how truckload carriers balance their trucks, orders and drivers, paving the way for a new generation of smarter and more efficient transportation management solutions.”
The cloud-based TMS Order Module also includes Trimble Places™, Trimble’s database of over five million commercial vehicle-specific locations. With Trimble Places, the TMS Order Module offers robust location intelligence – including driver dwell times and intuitive visualizations of orders, drivers, trucks and trailers with precise polygonal filtering – which helps enable easier and more streamlined order workflow to move orders ready for dispatch seamlessly into Trimble’s carrier customers’ existing TMS.
Other features include customer information such as location, type of freight and whether freight is available for pick up; driver data and the capability to see the locations of drivers, trucks and trailers and when drivers will be ready to attend to their next order; and the ability to modify orders and add internal memos and notes to orders as they are fulfilled.
Availability
Trimble’s new TMS Order Module will be available in Q4 2024 for full truckload Trimble TMW.Suite and Innovative TMS customers in North America. To learn more about how the TMS Order Module can improve your transportation business, visit: https://transportation.trimble.com/tms-order-module
