TMS trusted by companies of all sizes
From growing shippers to large corporates - our TMS scales with outsourced freight operations.
Before using alpha-TMS, we managed shipments through multiple carrier portals and typically worked with one carrier per country. This approach limited our cost visibility and pricing flexibility. Now, we compare rates in one place and book faster via a single application. Due to our company size we do not use the integration possibilities of alpha-TMS. The version where we manually add new orders still fits our workflow well. The biggest impact has been better insight, lower transport costs, while also saving time.

alpha-TMS has clearly taken our transport process to the next level. Compared to the old system, we work much faster thanks to batch processing of orders instead of manual entry for each individual order. In addition, alpha-TMS offers many more possibilities to define transport rates in advance and to register costs properly, which provides clear insight and faster invoice verification. The quick response time and good support complete the picture.
Thom – Jan Zandbergen
Before using alpha-TMS, we lacked clear visibility into our shipments and found it difficult to make informed decisions on pricing and lead times. Now, we have a clear overview of all shipments and can easily choose the best option based on cost or delivery speed. The system is highly user-friendly, allowing our team to get started within minutes. As an SME, we value simplicity over complexity, and the biggest impact has been better decision-making, improved efficiency and more control over our transport processes.

Before using alpha-TMS, we managed shipments mainly via email, which led to fragmented communication and limited visibility. Now, we process and book shipments in a structured way through one central system, handling over 10,000 transports annually. Integrations with our ERP ensure data flows automatically, improving traceability and efficiency. The biggest impact has been increased control, faster processes and reduced errors, while also improving cost management and saving time.

Alpha-TMS gives us full visibility into our freight processes and spending, and adapts to our workflows — not the other way around. Working with multiple carriers per country has made us significantly more flexible — matching each shipment to the right carrier saves costs and ensures the best service for our customers. The team behind the product truly sets it apart: open to feedback, fast to act, and consistently delivers on their promises. For companies looking to reduce costs and gain control with a partner that grows with you, Alpha-TMS is an excellent choice.

The problem shippers often do not realise
Your carriers deliver, invoices get paid, and the operation keeps moving, so why change anything? Because without the right transport management system, you have no real control. Shipments that could be consolidated move separately. Carriers that underperform keep getting booked. Most shippers default to one carrier per region simply because coordinating specialists is too complex to manage manually, while other carriers can probably deliver at significantly better cost and service. Small inefficiencies that feel invisible add up to significantly higher freight costs month after month, while you lose out on customer satisfaction.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about alpha-TMS
What is alpha-TMS?
Alpha-TMS is a transport management system designed for shippers who outsource their freight. It replaces carrier portals, rate spreadsheets, and email threads with one automated platform for planning, execution, and cost control.
How much can I save with alpha-TMS?
Most shippers achieve transport cost savings of 10–30% by using alpha-TMS. The savings come from consolidating shipments, utilising the optimal carrier mix, and gaining full visibility into your freight spend.
How quickly can alpha-TMS go live?
The non-integrated version is often live within a few days. We help you set up freight rates, train your team, and notify carriers. A full ERP/WMS integration may take a few weeks, depending on the readiness of your IT team. Complex integrations can take weeks to months.
Do I need ERP or WMS integration to use alpha-TMS?
No. Alpha-TMS works both with and without system integration. Without integration, you can start immediately by entering orders manually. With integration, orders are imported automatically and the system can suggest optimal combinations.
Is alpha-TMS only for large companies?
No. Alpha-TMS is built for shippers of all sizes — from businesses with a handful of carriers to large multinationals with complex, multi-country freight operations. The platform scales with your needs.
Does alpha-TMS prefer certain carriers?
No. We are fully independent and have no agreements with carriers. That client can work with every carrier they desire. This means we have no preference — the interest of our clients is always our top priority.
What types of cargo does alpha-TMS support?
Alpha-TMS supports all freight types: packaged goods (groupage, LTL, FTL), bulk, parcel, ambient, chilled, and frozen. It works with any truck type including tautliners, boxtruck, flatbed, and specialist equipment.
