For businesses deeply involved in the movement of goods, whether you’re a manufacturer, distributor, e-commerce platform, retailer, or a logistics service provider (3PL/4PL, LSP), efficiency in transportation is paramount. A Transportation Management System (TMS) becomes not just beneficial, but essential. You might be asking, Is Cxt A Transportation Management Software? The answer is yes, and it’s designed to be a robust, technology-driven extension of your team, optimizing every facet of your shipping and receiving operations.
A Transportation Management System, often referred to as transportation management solution or transportation management software, is fundamentally a logistics platform powered by technology. Its core function is to assist in the planning, execution, and optimization of the physical movement of goods. This encompasses both inbound and outbound logistics, ensuring shipments are not only timely but also compliant with all necessary regulations and documentation. CXT TMS offers comprehensive visibility into your daily transportation activities, trade compliance, and documentation, guaranteeing the punctual delivery of your freight across land, air, and sea. Our system is engineered to simplify the complexities of shipping, enabling you to efficiently manage and refine your transportation processes.
Key Features of CXT Transportation Management System
CXT TMS is packed with features designed to enhance your logistics operations. It excels in shipment planning, real-time execution tracking, spot quote management, and provides detailed carrier performance reporting and analytics. This suite of tools is designed to directly improve your bottom line by optimizing transportation spend and efficiency. The system is also built for flexibility, offering configurable supplier access and diverse electronic interface options to seamlessly integrate with your existing workflows.
For businesses working with external vendors, CXT TMS can be tailored to streamline carrier selection. The user interface can be modified to present only preferred carriers to vendors, simplifying the routing process while maintaining control over carrier choices and cost visibility internally. Users simply input shipment details into the CXT TMS portal. The software intelligently analyzes this data and presents a comprehensive list of carriers equipped to handle the lane, complete with applicable rates and service time estimates. This “seamless shopping” experience empowers users to make informed decisions quickly, optimizing for both cost and time efficiency. Furthermore, CXT TMS is fully integrated with the TranSaver® LTL Buying Group program, offering even greater advantages for less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments through pre-negotiated rates and streamlined processes.
