Definition

What TMS is and how it differs from WMS and ERP

TMS (Transport Management System) is a transport management system. It handles what happens between the shipper's warehouse and the recipient's warehouse: transport requests, carrier and rate selection, trip and route planning, shipping documents, and delivery cost calculation.

SystemWhat it managesWhere its scope ends
TMSTransport: request, rate and carrier, trip and route, cargo status in transit, transport documents, delivery costAt the warehouse gate, TMS does not know what is happening inside the warehouse
WMSWarehouse: receiving, putaway, location-based storage, picking, shipment, inventory countAt the warehouse gate, WMS does not know where the cargo went or how it moved
ERPCompany resources and accounting: orders, procurement, finance, cost, settlementsAt the operations level: detailed planning of trips and warehouse tasks does not live in ERP

So the question of "TMS or ERP" is usually framed incorrectly: ERP remains the accounting system and source of the order, TMS plans and executes the transport, and WMS prepares the cargo for shipment. The practical work during implementation is not choosing one system instead of another, but the handoffs between them: request from ERP, shipment from WMS, documents to the EPD state system, and closing and payment back into accounting.

"TMS" in CIS transcription and TMS are the same. Industry texts also use the terms "transport management system" and "freight management system."

Pain

Where transport logistics loses money

Manual requests

Requests to transport companies go by email and in Excel; the dispatcher plans trips by eye - empty mileage, idle time, fuel overruns.

Data gets out of sync

Orders, routes, and statuses live in different systems and do not match.

No one knows where the cargo is

A customer calls for a status update - there is no exact answer; costs are calculated after the fact, and KPIs are not visible.

Access to the entire ERP

To let a contractor see anything, they are given access to the entire ERP. When there are many systems and they are not connected, the problem is not TMS, but the interfaces.

Workflow

Transport workflow: from request to payment and where it breaks

A transport moves through five responsibility handoffs. The TMS covers planning and execution, but the request comes from ERP, documents go to the EPD state system, and closing and payment return to 1C. A break at any handoff stops not the trip, but the settlement for it.

Request -> rate and carrier -> trip -> documents (ETTN/EPD state system) -> closing and payment

Application

Transport need1C / ERP / WMS: shipment, delivery window, tonnage

Rate and selection

Rate and carrierrate card, tender or exchange; additional services

Trip

Planning and executionTMS: route, loading, dispatching
TelematicsGPS/GLONASS: location, deviations, statuses

Documents

E-waybill through GIS EPDloading and receipt titles, qualified electronic signature, e-waybill system operator

Closing and payment

Trip cost in 1Creconciliation, claims, invoice, and settlement with the carrier
  • Request goes by email and into Excel Double entry in TMS and 1C, missed delivery window, route planned by guesswork
  • The rate is not tied to a trip Downtime and additional services show up on the invoice after the fact - the cost of serving the customer is unknown
  • Statuses exist only in the telematics portal The customer learns about the delay by phone, OTIF is calculated manually
  • The configuration does not support EPD Starting September 1, 2026, there will be no legal way to issue the waybill: the transport moves, but the document is outside accounting
  • Receipt title not signed The transport is not closed in the EPD state system - the carrier has nothing to confirm completion with, and payment stalls
We are responsible for the handoffs between steps: request, rate, status, and document must move automatically between 1C, TMS, telematics, and the EPD state system, not be copied manually.

Approach

KT.Team approach: an integrator, not a boxed-software vendor

We do not sell yet another TMS

We implement, customize, and integrate the transport system into your landscape - 1C, warehouse, telematics, and EDI - and take responsibility for results at the interfaces.

Loose coupling through the bus

You can replace TMS, add a carrier, open a warehouse, or connect a customer without rewriting the entire landscape.

Transparent costs and KPIs

Trip costs and KPIs are visible in real time, not only in after-the-fact reports.

Lower IT budget

We replace components individually instead of rewriting the monolith. Contractors and customers see their shipments through a portal - without access to the full ERP.

Scope of work

What we do: scope of work

Routing and delivery optimization

Trip planning and route building with delivery windows, tonnage, and zones in mind. We reduce empty mileage and manual planning.

GPS/GLONASS fleet monitoring

We connect telematics: position, route, fuel consumption, and deviations. We link the data with TMS and 1C instead of keeping it in a separate portal.

Dispatching and shipment control

A single dispatcher workspace: trip allocation, statuses, SLA, and execution control.

Cargo tracking

B2B portal and delivery statuses: the customer sees where the cargo is without calling; the carrier works in its own workspace.

End-to-end integration

We connect TMS with 1C, WMS, telematics, EDI, and marketplaces through an integration layer. Requests, documents, and statuses move between systems automatically.

Deadline

Transport documents: mandatory transition to ETTN by September 1, 2026

Starting September 1, 2026, the transport waybill, transport order (request), and freight forwarding documents are issued only electronically and sent to the EPD state system under Federal Law No. 140-FZ dated 07.06.2025. There is no transition period in the law. Only one relief is announced: until March 1, 2027, if a paper waybill is used, the inspector is limited to a verbal warning. This does not cancel the obligation to issue documents electronically.

For the transport landscape, this means the document step of the route stops being a paper appendix to the trip and becomes part of execution: the ETTN is issued at the moment of the event, signed with a qualified electronic signature, and sent to the EPD IS operator. If your 1C configuration cannot do this, waybills are processed outside accounting and diverge from the EPD state system. What exactly to check in 1C and how to make it in time is covered in the article. ETRN and GIS EPD in 1C: mandatory transition by September 1, 2026.

Impact

Impact and how we calculate it

We calculate the impact for your fleet and routes before the project starts, rather than promising a market average. What we measure: empty mileage, trip cost, OTIF and delivery window compliance, dispatcher planning time, fuel consumption, and the share of manual operations. How we measure impact -> breakdown.

Integration

Integration with 1C and the existing landscape

1C at the core

Orders, customers, and finance stay in ERP/UT, while TMS handles shipments and transport costs. Data is not duplicated or split.

Connections via ESB

TMS ↔ 1C, TMS ↔ WMS, and TMS ↔ telematics through an integration bus, not with one-off hacks. The system can be replaced without stopping the others.

Carrier and customer B2B portal

The carrier and the customer see their shipments in their own portal - without access to the full ERP. This is a KT.Team strength.

DWH for analytics

We load trip and cost data into a data warehouse for dashboards and KPIs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you sell your own TMS?

No. We are an integrator: we implement, customize, and integrate the transport system into your landscape and take responsibility for results at the interfaces, not for delivering licenses.

Can you customize and connect our current TMS?

Yes. We adapt it to your processes and connect TMS with 1C, WMS, telematics, and EDI through an integration bus.

How will contractors and customers see their shipments?

Through a B2B portal: everyone works in their own workspace and sees only their trips and statuses, without access to the full ERP.

How is the impact calculated?

Adapted to your fleet and routes before the project starts. We measure empty mileage, trip cost, OTIF, dispatcher time, fuel consumption, and the share of manual operations.

Our TMS cannot issue ETTN - what should we do before September 1, 2026?

The document step is closed on the accounting system side and by the EPD IS operator, not inside the TMS. We check whether your 1C configuration supports electronic transport documents, connect the operator, and link ETTN issuance to trip events so the document is issued at shipment time, not after the cargo.

Is the transition to EPD mandatory if transport is not a core activity for us?

The obligation depends on your role in the transport, not on its share of revenue: it applies to shippers, carriers, freight forwarders, and consignees. Even if you only receive cargo, without a signed acceptance title the transport is not closed in the EPD state system.

Will you help choose a TMS if we do not have one yet?

Yes. We start with processes and data: which transport flow to take first, which systems already exist, and what must stay in 1C. We choose the system for this landscape, not for lock-in to one product.
