Intermodal transport offers great advantages. However, companies often rely on a collection of separate systems for planning and monitoring. ICT Logistics' Intermodal Transport Management System (TMS) offers a single solution for any intermodal transport. Whether by road, water or rail: all transport movements are accurately planned and efficiently handled - for containers as well as for trailers.

Intermodal transport planning

Road or rail, barge, ferry or short-sea: which combination of transport modes offers the best solution? Organising intermodal transport presents many a planner with headaches, especially in the absence of a central solution for planning each modality. After planning, it is impractical to keep track of each transport mode and ensure that all modalities remain in sync.

ICT Logistics' intermodal Transport Management System (TMS) calculates the optimal route for containers and trailers based on lead time, CO2-emission and cost. Are the goods required tomorrow or is there room for a green alternative? The intelligent algorithms of the intermodal TMS provide the answer and ensure that all modes are optimally coordinated.

Planning and adjusting quickly and adequately

Whether you are a logistics service provider, run inland terminals or coordinate entire chains: TMS makes multimodal transport planning easier than ever before. Once the optimal transport solution has been determined, the system offers a separate planning module for each modality. With just a few clicks, you book transport capacity with your regular carriers. Shipments are assigned to the right truck and driver, the container is placed on the right wagon and a place on the next ship is booked.

Maintain control anytime anywhere with real-time tracking and tracing of all container and trailer shipments. Low water levels, rail strikes or time-consuming border controls? ICT Logistics' TMS allows you to quickly find and schedule an alternative route. Stagnation due to an unexpected blockade? Switch immediately to another mode of transport so that shipments still arrive on time and customer expectations are met

More cost-efficient as well as sustainable

TMS offers more benefits. Every plan proposal can be turned into a competitive quote, including the expected CO2 emissions, with just a few clicks. Clients, consignees and other stakeholders can track their shipments in real time, receive automatic updates in case of schedule changes and get instant delivery receipts. As connections, rates and agreements with carriers are digitally recorded, invoicing is easier than ever.

The development of ICT Logistics' TMS was based on years of experience in intermodal transport. Dozens of logistics companies from across Europe use our software to enhance their intermodal transport capabilities, making their operations more cost-efficient as well as more sustainable. 

Benefits

Workflow configurator

Plan each transport step by step with the integrated workflow module. Select the right truck and driver or choose the most suitable road carrier. Check the rail schedule and book a spot on the train, or select the best ship based on the sailing schedule. Thanks to the configurable query path all modalities fit together seamlessly.

Own control tower

Planner, customer service employee, client or carrier: with its own control tower, everyone has real-time insight into all shipments. If arrival times change, TMS automatically sends a message to all parties involved, which keeps everyone informed.

Supply chain visibility

Increase transparency in the supply chain. By integrating TMS with ICT Logistics' supply chain solutions, the status of container and trailer shipments is linked to purchase orders. This provides more and better visibility of incoming stock, enabling proactive control of supply chains.

Terminal Operating System

Do you have one or more inland terminals? TMS is fully integrated with ICT Logistics' Terminal Operating System (TOS). This makes it easy to organise storage and transhipment between different modes as well as the transport between terminals quickly and efficiently, without manually transferring data.
