AdvantageTMS vs. Alternatives in 2023

The major competitors for AdvantageTMS are Tecsys TMS and TMWSuite.

Tecsys TMS is a web-enabled application for transportation management. It can handle multiple freight carriers with optimized delivery and pricing options, and includes a documentation system to handle both incoming & outgoing freight manifests and related information. The product is workflow based which can be adapted to business process requirements, and offers integration to other customer applications using its available APIs. There are also options for transport planning to optimize delivery schedules to meet customer demand.

AdvantageTMS on the other hand offers a similar web-based solution but with additional options for real-time tracking of shipments & delivery schedules, analytic tools to monitor carrier performance, as well as sourcing optimization for carrier selection. There are also reconciliation features to settle carrier claims along with auditing options to validate these claims for meeting delivery requirements.

Then there is TMWSuite which is offered both as on premise and cloud based solutions. It can be integrated with many accounting systems for financial management, but also has a certified interface with Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains as well. It includes many of the features available in AdvantageTMS but also support electronic data interface or EDI with freight providers. Additionally it can handle material safety requirements to ensure shippers meet stringent delivery regulations for transport and storage of goods.

While AdvantageTMS does not support these features, it does provide business process optimization support to improve the transportation workflow both for efficiency and cost reduction. The product also supports mobile device access of the application for both review and scheduling of transport requirements.
