TMSS is a transportation management software that provides:
1) Full visibility across sales, management, bidding, pricing, customer data, and logistics functions for freight forwarders.
2) An innovative pricing and route optimization engine that considers various shipment factors to calculate optimal pricing.
3) Strong data integration capabilities including integration with ERP systems, historical data, and third party logistics providers through an easy drag-and-drop interface.
4. Uniformity: Sales Management Centric The first system for freight forwarders that is Sales and management centric Provides full visibility across all company functions: Bidding (pending patents) Pricing (pending patents) Customer Management Logistics BI Optimized capabilities of users (pending patents) Customers retention Integration with ERP
6. A sophisticated hierarchical structure that: Contains all shipment parameters Assigns them relative weights Runs sophisticated algorithms in order to reach optimal pricing and routes. Innovation I: Pricing & Route Engine Accessorial Fees Carriers Volume Actual Weight Co2 Emissions Delivery Charges Spot Pricing FOB Charges Customer Preference Carrier types Shipment History Customer History Shipment Type Routes IncoTerms Transit time

9. Implementing the translation between transportation costs and special business rules into vertices and edges of a graph: Using graph theory algorithms ( Dijkstra's algorithm , A* search algorithm , Bellman-Ford algorithm ) to find the shortest path between source and target nodes, with the sum of the weight of its constituent edges minimized Implementing the algorithm into a special decision engine , which encompasses our many years of experience in the freight forwarding business (Unique and subject to patents) How TMSS Does It: Vertical represents location and edged represents segment of route and weighted by cost and criteria (CO2, Time, etc.) Source Target
