Trimble Launches TMS for North American Shippers

Trimble has launched a cloud-native transportation management system (TMS) for North American shippers, offering a bundled platform that combines core TMS functions with AI-driven planning, visibility, routing, settlement, and access to its carrier and shipper network. The platform, called Trimble TMS for Shippers, is designed for shippers and third-party logistics providers that manage freight planning, carrier transactions, visibility, routing, and settlement across multiple systems. The bundle includes Transport Assignment, Transport Planner, Freight Visibility, Data Insights, Exchange integrations, and add-ons, with Cost Management available separately. The system integrates with existing enterprise resource planning products and can connect with tools for transport planning and execution, freight sourcing, freight visibility, dock and yard management, freight audit, and mapping and routing. Trimble’s AI-driven platform allows customers to build their ideal system, selecting functionalities they need, from freight procurement to settlement, without the burden of ‘ripping and replacing’ existing infrastructure. The company emphasizes freight planning, load assignment, and disruption management, and the system can help users adjust to disruptions tied to weather and geopolitical volatility. The product is available in North America as a bundled offering for shippers and logistics providers, with predictable monthly costs and the option to add functions as needed.
