In transport and forwarding companies, consistent operational processes and unified reporting form the basis of financial predictability. However, when teams operate in separate systems and data is scattered, inconsistencies emerge, decision-making slows down and profitability gaps become difficult to detect. This was the challenge faced by a forwarding company with several branches and dozens of employees. A lack of a unified work environment, differing procedures across locations and manual reporting caused information chaos, hindering day-to-day operational management.

For transport and forwarding companies, verifying the credibility of contractors is absolutely crucial. Regularly verifying business partners and monitoring credit limits helps to prevent financial risks that could jeopardise a company’s stability. Without the right tools, this process becomes manual, time-consuming, and susceptible to critical oversights. This was the challenge faced by a transport and forwarding company with a fleet of around 70 vehicles. The key objective was to introduce mechanisms that would enable systematic control of the contractor database and enforce established cooperation principles.

In the transport and forwarding sector, even small companies with limited administrative resources must keep up with heavy paperwork and the need to process orders quickly. Thanks to advanced solutions like fireTMS with AI Assistant, it is now possible to achieve a level of automation and control that was previously available only to major players in the industry.

For manufacturing companies with their own transport departments — as well as those working with subcontractors — consistent data across systems becomes essential. The complexity of end-to-end workflows, from order intake through production to delivery and invoicing, often requires multiple IT solutions. When those systems are not integrated, companies face duplicated work, errors, and slower operations. This was the challenge faced by a manufacturing company with an in-house transport division operating a fleet of around 40 vehicles while also working with subcontractors. The main objective was to unify the flow of data across three systems: production and order management, invoicing, and transport management.

In the fast-paced TSL industry, operational speed directly impacts financial performance. The quicker a company issues invoices, the quicker money lands in its account. However, many freight forwarding companies still lose days, sometimes even weeks, waiting for documents from carriers. This was precisely the challenge faced by a medium-sized forwarding company that opted for enterprise-level solutions in the form of the fireTMS system and the Carrier Portal tool. The result? A transparent process, full document automation and a significantly shorter invoicing cycle.
