What is Xfrate TMS?

Xfrate TMS is a cloud-based Transport Management System designed for businesses (shippers) to manage mid-mile logistics efficiently. It centralizes the management of freight orders, reduces costs, streamlines communication with empanelled transporters, and uses Data and AI for improved logistics decisions.

What sector does Xfrate TMS address?

Xfrate TMS focuses on mid-mile logistics, also known as line-haul logistics. Mid-mile logistics refers to the transportation of goods between major hubs in the supply chain, that is, it’s the 'middle' stage between the origin point and the final delivery. Examples include:

• Port to warehouse
• Manufacturing plant to warehouse
• Warehouse to distribution center or retail store
• Not designed for last-mile deliveries (home deliveries to end customers)
• Not designed for courier or small package movements

Why should a transporter use the TMS?

For transporters, Xfrate TMS is a free tool to interact with freight orders from multiple businesses. Instead of manual coordination via calls, emails, and WhatsApp, transporters can directly engage with businesses using a secure, digital platform. With Xfrate TMS, transporters can:

• Receive and respond to FTL/LTL and repeat (lane-wise) freight orders in real time
• Access all order details, documents, and updates in one place
• Track and update shipment status easily, reducing miscommunication
• Build long-term relationships with shippers by delivering consistently
• Reduce dependency on intermediaries or brokers for getting business
• Improve fleet utilization and minimize empty return trips

Can Xfrate TMS integrate with our existing ERP/WMS/Accounting?

Yes, Xfrate TMS seamlessly integrates with all major ERP, WMS, accounting and carrier systems via API/EDI, ensuring a smooth data flow and operational efficiency.

What’s the ROI?

• Reduced freight costs via bidding (8-10%)
• Reduced admin hours (20-30% per week)
• Increased on-time deliveries (tracking and optimization)
• Efficient decision making (Data and AI insights to improve decisions)

How quickly can we go live?

The standard version can be used immediately as it’s a SaaS + AI product. Businesses only need to empanel their existing transporters (invite them to create an account in Xfrate) and they can start right away. Since businesses will be empanelling transporters, they already work with, the process is super quick. If a business wants to integrate Xfrate TMS with other existing systems, then a custom project will be done after scope assessment and finalisation.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Xfrate TMS is hosted on secure cloud infrastructure with encryption, regular backups, and strict access controls.

How is Xfrate TMS different from other TMS platforms?

Xfrate TMS is built to utilise Data and AI at its core. The more a business uses it, the more efficiency it realises from the data generated. Our in-built advanced analytics and AI form the moat of the product. Your freight data stays completely private, visible only to your empanelled transporters. Unlike marketplace-style platforms, your sensitive freight information is never broadcast publicly.

Unlike other TMS platforms, Xfrate allows you to allocate and manage FTL, LTL, and repeated orders in one place, something very few TMS systems can do. Users can manage both spot and long terms contacts. It is a full feature suite which can also integrate with other systems, creating a powerful cloud native transport management system.

Being cloud native and SaaS model, it allows you to scale as your business grows and not get locked in for highly expensive software tools.

Many lightweight TMS platforms simply take orders from shippers and broadcast them via APIs to a set of transporters. The shipper then receives quotes from multiple transporters via APIs.

The problems with that approach:

• In freight, it’s not just about the lowest quote; factors like trust, efficiency, and capability are critical
• API-based quotes are not true competitive bidding as there’s no real price discovery
• Logistics teams still end up shortlisting transporters manually, then running another round of comparisons and negotiations, adding unnecessary manual workflows
• Efficient decision making (Data and AI insights to improve decisions)

How Xfrate solves this:

• Price discovery built into the process, ensuring competitive, transparent rates
• All workflows streamlined in one platform, eliminating multiple layers of manual back-and-forth

Xfrate TMS can only be compared with full-scale Transport Management systems.

Does Xfrate allow dispatch / order tracking?

Yes. Xfrate TMS is hosted on secure cloud infrastructure with encryption, regular backups, and strict access controls.

Tracking features include:

• App based GPS Tracking: Drivers can use Xfrate Driver app to allow location-enabled tracking. Xfrate can also connect with integrated telematics and can capture live vehicle location
• IoT / GPS integrations to track vehicle data
• Web based GPS Tracking: For smaller fleets or transporters without apps, GPS triangulation can be done via the web or mobile interface
• Manual update: Transporters can directly update location and status changes (dispatched, in-transit, delivered) if they don’t have / allow any tracking
• Proof of Delivery (POD) Upload: Digital PODs can be uploaded instantly to close the order and maintain records
• Analytics & History: All freight tracking data are stored for performance analysis and historical reporting

Do I need to change my current transporters?

No. Xfrate TMS lets you keep working with your existing transporter network. You simply bring them onto the platform for easier coordination.

The standard version can be used immediately as it’s a SaaS + AI product. Businesses only need to empanel their existing transporters (invite them to create an account in Xfrate) and they can start right away.

What kind of support do you offer?

• Email & chat support during business hours
• Knowledge base and training videos
• Dedicated support specialist for custom plan

How fast will I see the result?

• Most clients recover the cost of Xfrate TMS in the first month itself

In which countries do Xfrate TMS provide support?

Currently our standalone product is available for customers in USA, India and Australia. However, we can create a separate deployment for companies in any country.
