Transport Management System (TMS)

A TMS built for industrial and complex freight

Collect your transports in one place. From parcels and pallets to containers and inbound shipments from suppliers, so you can see what's booked, which carrier is used, what it costs, and where it is.

When you ship industrial parts or other high-value goods, transport is rarely "one order = one parcel." You deal with pallets, containers, mixed freight, forwarders, and local hauliers, and the owner of the goods still has to keep control of bookings, costs, duties, and delivery. 

nShift TMS is the control layer for that reality: a single system where industrial shippers book, track, and follow up their transports across forwarders, parcel carriers, and their own or local fleets, and give suppliers a portal to book under their rules. 

 

It is very important to us that our transports go exactly according to schedule. That places a high demand on our systems to always be stable, which [nShift’s] always have been. That is something we truly appreciate.

FAQs

Will we outgrow this in 12–24 months?

 Unlikely. With 1,000+ carriers and modular additions (Cost, Emissions, Collaborate, Report), nShift scales without a replatform. 

Do we need a big IT project to start?

No. Start with the web interface and pre-built integrations (FTP/HTTP(S)/Excel importer/Web Service/Apport Connect). Go deeper later. 

Can finance actually see savings?

Yes. Use freight cost calculation, Carrier Select and Analytics to compare carriers, spot rates and lead times objectively. 

Can we brand the customer experience?

Yes. Branded Track & Trace lets you style the tracking page and keep customers informed without tickets.
