Transportation Management Operation Functionality Features and Functions

Planning
Building upon the data model established during system implementation, the TMS should include application tools to enable the user to link rates, routes and contracts to shipment, product, supplier/customer and carrier data. Additional features include tools to enable route and equipment optimization. In the case that these functions are addressed in point applications the TMS should support the interactive sharing of data with these external applications.
