Today, more than 50% of organizations are convinced that TMS is the technology that will have the most impact on transport by 2022. And with good reason!

In fact, to ship your goods from end to end, numerous processes are necessary to ensure the planning and execution of the transport. It is in this context that the implementation of TMS Transport (Transport Management System) management software now allows manufacturers to better collaborate internally as well as with their suppliers in order to ensure competitive transport and quality service. These supply chain optimization tools thus become an asset for improving the performance of its supply chain and making its processes more agile.

However, today, very few railway players adopt such a transport management tool.

Why should railway players adopt it?

There is a growth in the TMS market specialized in road vehicles, as well as the emergence of hat MSDs, encompassing various modes. Today, there is no TMS Charger market specialized in rail, most of which work with homemade solutions or in Excel. The existing tools are post-planning but the planning is not done in these tools.

However, rail transport faces the same challenges as road transport today:

• Simplify their complex transport processes with their suppliers by taking into account the constraints of each.
• Gain visibility on the execution of transport
• Be better prepared to manage incidents/unforeseen events (cancelled trains, safety incidents involving hazardous materials, etc.)
• gain in productivity and proactivity in transport management
  

However, rail transport management remains complex. Actors have very little overall view of the overall planning of their flows because each entity manages its operations itself and the constraints are distributed between several actors.

Everysens: the only TMS tool that meets your rail challenges

“If you show people the problem and show them the solution at the same time, they will take action.” - Bill Gates

At Everysens, the promotion of rail transport and the attractiveness of this mode is part of our DNA. Everysens has developed a transport TMS in order to allow shippers and forwarders to meet all their transport management challenges, but in a different way than with a traditional generic TMS.

• End-to-end visibility for real-time incident management

Real-time tracking is a significant plus to TMS which, in its classic version, does not systematically integrate real time. Monitoring shipments makes it possible to work on the expectations of delays, and above all to be proactive in managing incidents, regardless of the partner/service provider.

The TMS is therefore a combination of essential functionalities to improve supply chain performance and above all, thanks to the digitization of transport processes that are still too time-consuming. The load on operational teams is therefore smoothed out, in order to better gain in productivity, and thus makes it possible to manage transport proactively, even (and especially) remotely and in an unprecedented context that we are experiencing in this period of COVID-19 2020 crisis.

• complete control of your rail transport according to your needs

This tool offers real control of the transport chain, allowing shippers, freight forwarders and transporters to gain efficiency and profitability. In particular thanks to customizable alerts: in fact, each customer is different, these alerts are therefore configured to meet the definitions of each and the trigger criteria (severity, persons to contact, etc.). But the added value of these customizable alerts is the fact that they notify an anomaly even before it becomes critical. The important thing is not to heal, as today's MSDs do, but rather to prevent in order to be proactive in managing incidents.

In addition, the Everysens TMS tool takes into account the constraints as close as possible to the field: our understanding and expertise in rail transport allowed us to create the first TMS dedicated to the sector, where the complexity of transport is greater than that of the road sector. Hence the need to have a transport management tool!
