What is transportation management?

Transportation management is the process of planning, coordinating, and optimizing the movement of goods and people from one location to another. It involves various activities such as route planning, carrier selection, freight consolidation, tracking and monitoring shipments, and managing transportation costs. The goal of transportation management is to ensure that goods and people are transported efficiently, cost-effectively, and in a timely manner. This is typically done through the use of transportation management systems (TMS) and other technology tools to streamline operations and improve overall supply chain performance.
