Nexxio’s TMS executes both inbound and outbound, domestics and international movements, across all modes. It can determine the optimal carrier based upon service, rate, and/or routing guide. The Route Optimizer allows, for example, to compare multi-stop truckload to pool locations (cross dock for consolidation and distribution) to continuous moves with multiple pickups and drop-offs. Nexxio’s TMS also tenders loads to the selected carriers (via EDI, XML, or Web Service) and sets and schedules appointments via dock door scheduling.
