Automate TMS Data Workflows

Problem Context

Supply chain teams rely on TMS software but waste hours manually copying data into spreadsheets for kickouts, order tracking, and reporting. They lack a simple way to automate these workflows without deep technical setup or IT support. Many distrust TMS vendors and fear scams, making it hard to justify new tools to leadership.

Pain Points

Teams struggle with manual data entry errors, lost time, and outdated reports. They try spreadsheets or hiring consultants, but these workarounds are slow, error-prone, and don’t scale. Switching TMS vendors is risky, and vendor support often fails to solve these basic automation needs.

Impact

Wasted hours add up to thousands in lost productivity. Errors in reports can delay shipments, cost money, and damage relationships with carriers. Without clear data, teams can’t prove the value of TMS software to leadership, risking budget cuts or manual processes.

Urgency

This problem happens daily, and the risk of errors grows with order volume. Without automation, teams can’t scale or justify TMS investments. Leadership demands cost savings, but manual work hides the true inefficiency.

Target Audience

Supply chain managers, logistics coordinators, and operations analysts at mid-market firms using TMS software. These teams handle 50-500+ orders daily and rely on spreadsheets or vendor reports for tracking.

Solution Approach

A lightweight, API-driven tool that connects to major TMS platforms (like Liv2Ship) and auto-pulls key data (kickouts, orders, tracking) into a simple dashboard. No coding or IT support needed—just plug in your TMS credentials and start getting clean, up-to-date reports instantly.

Key Features

1. *Auto-Generated Reports:- Pulls kickouts, order statuses, and tracking data into easy-to-read dashboards.
2. *Custom Alerts:- Notifies you of delays or issues before they become problems.
3. *Export-Ready Data:- Share reports with leadership or carriers in seconds—no more manual copy-pasting.

User Experience

Users log in, connect their TMS (like Liv2Ship) with a few clicks, and instantly see clean, updated reports. They set up custom alerts for kickouts or delays, then share reports with leadership or carriers without lifting a finger. No more spreadsheets, no more errors—just instant, accurate data.

Differentiation

Unlike generic automation tools, this is built *for- TMS workflows—no spreadsheets, no IT setup, and no vendor lock-in. It’s faster than hiring consultants, cheaper than manual labor, and more reliable than vendor reports. Competitors either require coding or don’t handle TMS data well.

Scalability

Start with 3-4 major TMS integrations, then expand based on user demand. Add more report templates, analytics, or multi-user seating as firms grow. Upsell advanced features like predictive analytics or carrier performance tracking.

Expected Impact

Teams save 5-10 hours/week on manual work, reduce errors, and get real-time data to make faster decisions. Leadership sees the cost savings from automation, and firms can justify TMS investments with clear, automated reports.
