Inbound TMS
Make it easy for both you and your vendors to schedule shipments. No need to phone calls or e-mails back and forth–just a single portal where your vendors can schedule shipments using your rates and your carries. Vendors only see the least cost available carrier for that lane, and you receive ASNs when the shipment has been booked to the carrier so you know when your freight will arrive.
Enhanced Visibility
- EDI/API/Carrier Portal updates allow for proactive track and trace through exception reporting and milestone notifications
- Tracking links sent to customers to provide direct visibility
Reporting
- Dashboard views for every part of your organization
- Control Tower provides executives visibility into the entire supply chain
- Carrier performance for Logistics
- Vendor scorecards for Purchasing Tracking for Sales & Customer Service
Dock Scheduling
Carriers also gain the ability to schedule their own appointments online through the schedule you determine. Now you know which carriers are coming and when, so there are no lines forming at your facility and no detention charges coming your way. With a single portal for scheduling, your staff no longer has to wrestle with building and maintaining spreadsheets or whiteboards manually–everyone has visibility to the schedule, so they can perform their role at ultimate efficiency.

Self Invoicing
Eliminate balance-dues and reduce the need for manual intervention in the freight billing process with Constellation’s ability to incorporate self invoicing. Since Constellation has all the necessary information about a shipment, it automatically creates the invoice and allows the carrier to add after-the-fact accessorials directly into the system for your approval. Once approved, you will have the complete cost of your freight, allowing for a completely accurate accrual.
Constellation TMS is exactly what you need to streamline your transportation processes.

Visibility to the Entire Organization
No more phone calls about to carriers or even among internal operators and levels. Everyone in your organization can see the information they need to make your supply chain run smoothly, all the way from the dock to the accountants to the C-Suite. Not only that, your carriers and customers can access the portal to get just the information they need to know about their shipments.
Reporting / Analytics
Constellation’s dashboards give you a heads up on everything that is happening at a given time, and the reporting features access your historical data to give you the business intelligence you need to identify areas for improvement.
Automated Process (Including Electronic Tendering)
Automating several processes, such as rating and tendering out freight, will save you hours as you no longer make phone calls and exchange e-mails back and forth. Plus, instead of handling loads one at a time, simply send a load file to Constellation, and it will rate and automatically tender the load to right the carrier based on your business rules.
