The Challenges of Managing Vehicle Transportation
Managing vehicle transportation is complex, yet many businesses still rely on generic TMS platforms designed for standard freight. These platforms often lack the specialized features needed for vehicle logistics, leading to inefficiencies, costly delays, and frustrated customers.
Unlike traditional freight, vehicle transport requires real-time GPS tracking, automated scheduling, flexible transporter coordination, and seamless claims processing. A generic TMS simply isn’t built to handle these complexities, resulting in:
- Limited tracking capabilities – No real-time GPS updates, only manual or batch status updates.
- Manual transporter coordination – Relying on emails and phone calls to assign shipments.
- Disconnected carrier networks – Difficulty sourcing reliable transporters at scale.
- Slow payments and claims processing – Increased administrative workload and delayed compensation.
As vehicle shipping demand grows, businesses that rely on outdated TMS platforms risk losing efficiency and profitability.
