Trimble TMS is built in the cloud for full truckload carriers that want an AI-powered system with bespoke workflows and screens shaped to how their team actually works. Handle your full order to cash lifecycle with ease and cut the mundane, error-prone work. Trimble TMS is as powerful as it is easy to learn and use.
Connected and customizable
The new Trimble TMS is an AI-powered solution designed to go beyond the capabilities of a traditional TMS to provide vision, insight and control over every element of your transportation lifecycle. It incorporates Trimble’s vast trove of transportation and logistics data and analytics alongside numerous functions and features to quickly move your team away from managing manual transactions to taking valuable actions that drive your business’s strategy.
Built on four decades of industry-leading logistics data and technology, this intelligent solution gives you an instant competitive advantage through predictive capacity insights, reliable rate intelligence and a unified 360-degree view that continually optimizes decisions and interactions in your business.
Core benefits
Automated order entry
Automatically reads incoming emails and PDFs and converts them into structured load records. Staff review and confirm extracted data rather than re-typing it — handling more freight with the same headcount.
Dispatch intelligence
Recommends the best driver for a load or the best load for a driver based on live location, available hours of service and equipment type. Dispatchers approve or override; they never start from scratch.
Proactive compliance monitoring
Visual red and yellow indicators warn managers when driver licenses, medical cards, or equipment certifications are approaching expiration — fixing problems before they become roadside violations or FMCSA headaches.
Proactive customer ETA notifications
Automatically notifies your customers of revised arrival times when a driver is running late, based on live GPS position — turning a potential complaint into best-in-class service. Powered by Trimble’s industry-standard commercial maps and PC*Miler.
Automated rate contract import
Reads PDF rate sheets and RFPs and automatically maps lanes and accessorial charges into the rating engine — no manual keying required. Onboard new rate contracts in minutes, not days, and start billing accurately from day one.
Network balance visibility
Reduce deadhead and balance your network with this intuitive map visualization –guiding planners to where loads outnumber available drivers and where drivers outnumber loads.
Trimble TMS: Cloud-first for the AI age
It's the TMS software for carriers that brings every phase of the transportation lifecycle into one connected, unified suite, eliminating the swivel-chair work and siloed data that slow teams down. Built as a modern carrier TMS, Trimble TMS gives freight carriers 360-degree visibility into their operation, so every decision and every customer interaction, from the first load tender to final settlement, is informed by the big picture. That's the kind of visibility a true TMS for freight carriers should deliver.
Order management
A next-gen order experience, built for speed and accuracy. Automated order entry reads incoming emails and PDFs and converts them into structured load records in an instant, while all incoming EDI tenders are graded based on financial viability. Configurable rules automatically accept or reject tenders by geography, rate floor and volume thresholds, ensuring maximum lane profitability.
One-click repeat orders
Order Templates save recurring lane details so repeat freight requires only a date change. Built-in error checking catches problems before a load is planned, and one click generates a pre-formatted appointment request email directly from the order screen.
Dispatch decision assist
Keep your network in balance, always with Dispatch Decision Assist. Instantly see the best driver for every load based on live location, remaining hours of service and equipment type — with full driver stats accessible inline on the planning grid without leaving the main screen.
Advanced dispatch automation
Complex dispatch automation handles split dispatches, staged trailers and empty-leg repositioning with accurate transit time projections throughout. The sequential planner view makes deadhead miles and idle gaps visible before the truck rolls. Built-in Trimble Places provides gate-level GPS detail for distribution centers, drop yards and truck stops.
Proactive compliance
Get a heads-up before something becomes a problem. The system flags managers when a driver's license, medical card, or equipment certification is getting close to expiring, so you can renew it before it turns into a violation. Shift templates keep each driver's available hours up to date on their own, and performance dashboards show daily earnings and miles, giving you real numbers to use in coaching conversations.
Real-time ETA logic, powered by PC*Miler
Your customers get an automatic heads-up with a new arrival time the moment a driver goes off plan, so they start trusting your updates and stop calling to ask "where's my load?" Live weather, traffic and road camera feeds sit right on top of driver locations for easy status check-ins.
Automated rate entry
Trimble TMS reads your PDF rate sheets and RFP tables, including lanes, fuel surcharges and accessorials, and drops them straight into the rating engine. No manual typing. When the freight you actually run matches the contracted rates, Quick Bill creates the invoice for you automatically.
