About

What is the TMS?

We developed a user-friendly web-based application accessible to employees from various devices and locations. The role-based access control was implemented to secure sensitive data and functionalities. Our professional UX/UI designers created a responsive and intuitive user interface for easy navigation and data input. The system is customizable to match the specific needs and workflows of the transportation company aiming to use it. GPS and mapping services can be integrated to our TMS to track vehicle locations and optimize routes.
