The name Logirack combines two core concepts:

Logi: for logistics, covering both transportation and flow management

Rack: referring to racking, a central element of warehouse operations

Transport

What does TMS mean?

TMS stands for Transportation Management System, a software solution that helps plan, execute, and optimize your transportation operations, including load management, route optimization, carrier management, and delivery visibility.

A TMS is a software solution that helps plan, execute, track, and optimize freight transportation operations.

A Transportation Management System (TMS) brings together the core functions needed to plan, execute, and control transportation operations.

Key capabilities typically include:

  • Fleet and driver management
  • Order entry and dispatch
  • Regulatory compliance (Hours of Service, IFTA, DVIR, etc.)
  • Rating, contracts, and billing
  • Driver mobility and proof of delivery
  • Operational tracking and partner integrations

 

Depending on the type of transportation, a TMS should also support specific requirements:

LTL / Truckload: terminal management, partner carriers, and route planning
Intermodal / container: critical date management and integrations (CN, CP, ports)
Last mile: automation, high volumes, and route optimization
Dedicated fleets: advanced resource planning and scheduling scenarios
Logistics / brokerage: quoting, cost vs. revenue matching

No. While some ERP systems include basic TMS capabilities, they generally lack the advanced features required to fully manage transportation operations—especially for strategic planning and cost optimization.

By optimizing routes, selecting the best carriers, automating decision-making, and providing real-time visibility into operations.

Beyond the technology, a TMS must be flexible, robust, and reliable. Always request a demo aligned with your current and future business processes.

This allows your team to properly assess the solution’s capabilities, and identify whether costly customizations may be required.

Yes.
Logirack Transport integrates with telematics solutions such as ISAAC, Samsara, and other leading platforms—providing real-time visibility and better control over transportation operations.

3PL Warehousing

What does WMS mean?

WMS stands for Warehouse Management System, a software solution used to manage and control warehouse operations, including receiving, inventory, order picking, shipping, and stock movements.

A standard WMS manages warehouse operations for a single company.

A 3PL WMS (Third-Party Logistics) is designed to manage multiple customers, with customer-specific pricing, reporting, and operations—while centralizing everything within a single platform.

A WMS structures your warehouse operations from receiving to shipping, improving inventory accuracy, movement efficiency, and order picking speed.

It acts as the control center of your warehouse—guiding movements and priorities in real time.

3PL refers to outsourcing logistics services—such as warehousing, order fulfillment, and distribution—to a specialized provider.

3PL providers typically cover a range of services, including storage, order fulfillment, returns management, shipping, and flow optimization.

Key criteria include vendor experience, available technology, integration capabilities with your systems, geographic coverage, and flexibility to support your operations.

The right decisions start with the right questions.
