TMS FAQ
Transportation Management — questions buyers actually ask.
Does NexliOne TMS support multi-mode and multi-carrier transportation planning?
NexliOne is designed to support this workflow. 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?
NexliOne is designed to support this workflow. Current carrier rate shopping, spot-rate capture, tender accept/decline, and re-tender workflows can be scoped into the rollout. Tender flow rules are configured around the customer routing guide.
How does NexliOne TMS provide track-and-trace for in-flight shipments?
Carrier status updates can feed shipment tracking, ETA estimates can adjust as in-flight signals come in, and exception alerts can flag loads at risk. Customer-facing tracking requirements are scoped during rollout.
Does NexliOne TMS ingest EDI 214 status messages?
NexliOne is designed to support this workflow. EDI 214 carrier status messages can be joined to the load record through configured automation. Retry and exception workflows are scoped around the trading partners in the rollout.
Can NexliOne TMS optimize multi-stop and consolidated loads?
NexliOne is designed to support this workflow. 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.
