The Uses and Substantial Benefits of Transportation Management Systems

Cerasis Rater

Cerasis, in business, since 1997, first released our web-based TMS, we call the Cerasis Rater in 1998.

To most people, seeing a web-based anything was like seeing magic.

A small footnote in history, if you will, is that the Cerasis Rater was all web-based before Google was a search engine.

As we have progressed as a company over the last 2 decades, a TMS is no longer magic, but quite commonplace.

Unfortunately, although we’ve been touting to shippers the amazing benefits from the adoption of a TMS, or Transportation Management System, to this day, even with affordable and easy to deploy systems, not all shippers are taking advantage of the vast benefits a TMS provides.

In this e-book we will explore the current state of and demands in the landscape of the TMS world, the uses, and functions of a TMS, and then finally, if you are not convinced already about the benefits of a TMS from this first page alone, you’ll read in Chapter 3 a slew of TMS benefits.

If after reading those benefits, you would like to take advantage of using a new TMS or using a system to help make transportation management more effective and reduce costs, you know where to go: Cerasis.
