WMS & TMS

Transport Vancouver uses WMS and TMS software systems to guarantee the careful handling of your cargo. These systems serve distinct purposes.

Warehouse Management System (WMS):

A WMS is a software application that helps manage and control warehouse operations. It provides functionalities to optimize the storage, movement, and tracking of inventory within a warehouse or distribution center. Key features of a WMS may include inventory management, order fulfillment, receiving, picking, packing, shipping, and cycle counting. WMS systems often integrate with other supply chain management systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to provide end-to-end visibility and control over warehouse operations.

Transportation Management System (TMS):

A TMS is a software solution used to plan, execute, and optimize the movement of goods and shipments across the supply chain. TMS software typically handles tasks such as route planning, carrier selection, freight rating, load optimization, shipment tracking, and freight payment. TMS systems help businesses streamline transportation processes, reduce costs, improve delivery times, and enhance overall logistics efficiency. TMS solutions may also integrate with other systems, such as WMS and ERP systems, to facilitate seamless information exchange and coordination between warehouse and transportation operations.

While WMS focuses on optimizing warehouse operations and inventory management within a facility, TMS is concerned with managing transportation and logistics activities related to the movement of goods between locations.

Both systems play critical roles in the effective management of the supply chain, helping businesses improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction. Contact us today to help better your logistics and warehousing needs.
