The inet Transportation Management System (TMS)

PEAK PERFORMANCE IN TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT.

Klaus Plaicknerproduct manager

WE REACH EVERY GOAL. BECAUSE WE WANT TO.

Make transportation easy

You can’t stay king of the hill unless you are ready to give

it your all and to take on challenges without compromise.

You can’t successfully scale a peak under tough conditions

unless you are flexible, think quickly and act efficiently.

As an internationally operating software company, we

develop an integrated, scalable and flexible Transportation

Management System (TMS) with expertise, innovative

ideas and the courage to blaze new trails. This gives our

customers a clear lead – beyond standard.

For inet, three main values are paramount:

trust, agility and excellence.

For us this means loyalty and cooperative partnership in

all our business relationships, doing the right thing even

under extreme pressure and responding flexibly to varying

demands.

Our specific goal is to make your transportation

management easy, transparent and effective with a

Transportation Management System beyond standard.

JUST GETTING THERE IS NOT ENOUGH.

Peak performance begins where mediocrity ends

On a mountain you have one simple choice, and that is

to go up or down. There were times when transporta-

tion management was also viewed this simplistically,

but those times are long past. Transportation manage-

ment has developed into a complex set of tasks.

Internationalization of the markets, increasing

competitive and cost pressure, growing quality and

service demands, climate change and current eco-

nomic developments are having a massive effect on

transportation management.

Traditional supply chains are changing into customer-driven global company networks

An increasing number of companies are actively look-

ing for ways to make their transportation management

more profitable and efficient through intensifying the

collaboration within existing customer and partner

net works. They offer additional services, operate as

contract logistics service providers themselves and

bundle shipments with other companies.

These changes require enormous flexibility and speed

in business processes. Transporta tion management is

becoming an important factor that determines profit

or loss. By far not every TMS can meet these high

demands.

With the right TMS, you put the competitive

advantage on your side.

The best for your transportation management

In order to be successful in spite of the high pressure

and rapidly changing economic factors in the market,

a TMS must fulfill the following criteria:

Connectivity

Open communication and integration platform for all

partners of the supply chain

Collaboration

Cross-company real-time exchange of information and

documents; integrated processes between customers,

suppliers and logistics service providers

Optimization

Optimal configuration of the supply chain and an

increase in the asset utilization ratio by bundling ship-

ments and cooperating with partners

Visibility

Comprehensive overview of orders, shipments and

inventories for all supply chain partners; proactive

alerting system in case of deviations

Flexibility

Quick adaptation of the functions to changes in the

supply chain; access to all data in real-time

What using the inet TMS means to you: cost optimization

reliability

security and transparency

environmental and resource protection

innovation and continuous development
