TMS FAQ

Transportation Management — questions buyers actually ask.

Does NexliOne TMS support multi-mode and multi-carrier transportation planning?
Yes. Load planning consolidates orders across modes (TL, LTL, parcel) and equipment types, with multi-stop optimization and equipment matching. Mode selection runs against your contracted rates and constraints.
Can NexliOne TMS shop carrier rates and run automated tender workflows?
Yes. Real-time carrier rate shopping, spot-rate capture, tender accept/decline, and auto re-tender on rejection are core. The tender flow follows your tender-routing guide so the cheapest acceptable carrier sees the load first.
How does NexliOne TMS provide track-and-trace for in-flight shipments?
EDI 214 ingestion drives status updates, ETA prediction adjusts as in-flight signals come in, and exception alerts fire when a load is at risk. A customer-facing tracking page surfaces the same status to consignees.
Does NexliOne TMS ingest EDI 214 status messages?
Yes. EDI 214 from carriers feeds the track-and-trace stream automatically, joined to the load record so visibility is end-to-end without operator entry. Auto-resubmit on EDI failure handles the noisy channel that real EDI is.
Can NexliOne TMS optimize multi-stop and consolidated loads?
Yes. Order consolidation and multi-stop optimization run as part of load planning, with equipment matching and mode selection baked in. Consolidation opportunities surface up from DRP-generated replenishment moves where applicable.
