Sterling Transportation Management System capabilities
Sterling TMS connects you to a collaborative logistics network of carriers, shippers, and customers, providing the tools to automate your entire transportation management process. All of this is delivered on demand, which means fewer IT resource requirements, no upgrade costs, configuration rather than installation, fast, easy connectivity, and low total cost of ownership.
Sterling Transportation Management System includes:
Planning and Optimization - Plans shipments and routes efficiently by consolidating orders into loads, enabling companies to operate with centralized management while allowing local execution capabilities.
Execution - Provides shippers with complete visibility into operations as you execute the transportation plan, while the Transportation Management System automates complex processes, including load tendering and contract compliance.
Freight Audit and Payment - Automates transportation invoice processing and payment approvals to ensure accuracy, shorten payment cycles, and lower administrative costs. Invoices are checked against shipment, rate, and carrier contracts stored online, with payment for unplanned events negotiated and approved online.

Yard Management - Optimizes your trailer pool, manages your shipments in and out of your yard, and ensures all inventory in the yard is available for order fulfillment.
