Port TMS Features
Multi-Modal Freight Management
Port TMS allows users to manage truckload, LTL, intermodal, drayage, and final mile shipments from a single system. The platform eliminates the need to jump between tools for quoting, tracking, and dispatching. With centralized control and automated workflows, it helps streamline operations across all freight types and shipment sizes.
Carrier Matching And Bid Boards
Port’s digital carrier matching system identifies ideal carriers within seconds and supports real-time bidding through private bid boards and the Convoy Platform. Users can invite top carriers to compete on shipments, helping optimize cost and service quality. By incorporating ‘Port TMS Cooperative’ the platform further enhances outreach and efficiency during spot market transactions.
Integrated LTL Platform
The LTL platform offers self-service access to over 100 LTL carriers for quoting, rating, tendering, tracking, and executing shipments. Users can leverage customer or in-house contracts and instantly access volume and density-based rates. The tool supports seamless integration with other functions, reducing manual entry and improving the speed and accuracy of LTL management. The addition of Fresh X brings reefer LTL quoting into play in this dynamic tool.
Dynamic Reporting And KPIs
Port’s reporting engine provides real-time financial and operational insights, from load-level metrics to broad business KPIs. Reports can be scheduled or automated, eliminating the need for manual generation. Customizable dashboards allow users to access exactly the data they need, improving decision-making and overall performance visibility.
Document Management System
The system allows unlimited document storage at the load level and enables carriers and customers to upload directly. Built-in tools identify and retrieve required documents for invoicing and compliance. Port also integrates with platforms like T-Pay and OTR to enhance efficiency in documentation and settlement workflows.
Accounting And Invoicing
Port TMS simplifies financial processes with options for singular or consolidated invoicing, GL code mapping, and customizable payables and receivables. The system integrates seamlessly with popular accounting tools including QuickBooks, MS Dynamics, Sage, and Great Plains. This ensures seamless payment tracking and efficient financial operations tailored to logistics needs.

“Interesting features”
Pros
I really enjoy being able to track aging details. It is a really cool feature.
Cons
I would have liked the system to show carrier details like terminal locations, liability and guaranteed options. I also want the option to enter the name of shipper and receiver in the quote page such that their zip code would automatically come up in the quote screen.
