Curious about how 4flow iTMS can optimize your logistics networks?
Manage transportation processes with an integrated transportation management system
For globally operating businesses, transportation costs often account for more than half of supply chain costs. This means the potential for cost reduction is significant. With the integrated transportation management system (iTMS), 4flow optimizes end-to-end transportation processes in supply chain networks. By creating planning scenarios, the software solution identifies optimal transportation concepts and makes savings potential visible and achievable.
4flow's unique software solution merges the basic functionalities of a TMS with the decisive advantages of planning and optimization. This fully integrated combination is the key to achieving efficient cost analysis and digital transformation of your supply chain processes.
The 4flow iTMS creates transparency across all transportation processes – from data governance to freight cost management to analytics – and integrates all relevant stakeholders on a single platform. Thus, all three levels of supply chain management – strategic, tactical and operational – are brought together in just one tool.
Because it can be integrated into any ERP system landscape and deployed as software-as-a-service (SaaS), the implementation of the iTMS is fast and scalable.
We look forward to hearing from you.
"With 4flow’s support, the Lear transportation network is now managed end to end on a continuous basis. As a result, more than 50 plants with roughly 1,800 supply lanes and about 25 carriers are optimized continuously."
Dennis Henning, Head of Logistics Europe & Africa and Global Head Materials Management Center of Excellence at Lear
"In 4flow, we have found a professional partner and a real expert on transportation management. It was also strategically important to us that we work with a 4PL that is 100 percent independent. 4flow is non-asset based, fully management-owned, and does not have strategic business relations with carriers."
Buelent Ileri, Director Transportation & Logistics EAME von AGCO
"Successful change management was one of the key success factors. Comprehensive training measures, regular communication and proper documentation of future processes gave each participant the feeling of having the situation under control at every stage."
