System Definition and Implementation Features and Functions
The TMS should include tools and applications to enable the user to create profiles for all contracts, associated carriers, and trade lanes for inter-modal and multi-leg moves. This should support regional as well as international transportation movements. The key to the successful operation of the TMS is a robust foundation created during the system implementation.
