Why Implement an International Transportation Management System (ITMS)?

An International Transportation Management System (ITMS) can transform your logistics operations by streamlining processes, providing real-time visibility, and offering data-driven insights to support contract negotiations and RFP strategies.

Key Features of a High-Performing ITMS

A good ITMS should include:
• Global Visibility – Real-time tracking and monitoring of shipments worldwide.
• Automated Booking & Routing – Streamlined processes to reduce manual errors and improve efficiency.
• Document Management – Electronic storage of key shipping documents (e.g., bills of lading, commercial invoices).
• Carrier Management – Oversight of carrier contracts, rates, and performance.
• Freight Audit & Payment – Automated freight auditing to reduce billing errors and increase efficiency.
• Advanced Analytics & Reporting – Insights into shipping operations, costs, and performance.

Beyond these core elements, a high-quality ITMS may also offer:
• Analytics platforms (e.g., Power BI, QlikView, Tableau)
• Freight payment, invoice processing, and pre-audit support
• RFP rate/fee platforms for smarter contract negotiations

How an ITMS Supports Contract Negotiations & RFP Strategies

A well-implemented ITMS empowers you with data—critical for running a successful RFP. To negotiate effectively, you must "know your numbers," including:
📦 Shipment volumes
🚢 TEUs & container types
💲 Spending trends
⚓ Key ports & port pairs
📊 Seasonal shipping peaks & dips

With an ITMS, you’ll have performance metrics for each carrier and forwarder, ensuring you negotiate competitive contracts, optimize your logistics operations, reduce costs, and drive business success.
