Transportation Management Software
Boltrics’ TMS software supports all transportation management activities of 3PL logistics service provision, such as order management, shipment planning, route planning, contract management, as well as the complete management of tariffs, surcharges, and fleet etc. Links are also available as standard with various onboard unit systems and with advanced planning systems (APS).
Management information in TMS
The TMS provides your requested management information at any given time, enabling you to anticipate results with immediate effect. This saves you time, but in particular, money.
Modules
With Dynamics 365 Business Central you have all the basic functionalities of a modern ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) at your fingertips. The TMS offers all functionalities for transport activities which can be expanded upon with various modules.
Estron: WMS software extended with TMS, FMS, and ERP
Since early 2016, Estron has been working with Boltrics’ TMS. The choice for this system was obvious after the warehouse management system (WMS) of Boltrics had already been implemented one and a half years ago. Rene Hoogvliet, IT Manager at Estron Group: “In the past, we deliberately opted for systems from different software vendors. We did not want to be dependent on one software supplier with the risk of major downtime for all systems at once. Now we’re using the reverse strategy and we’d like everything in one system.”
Modules
TMS software
Linking onboard units
Your onboard units can be linked to the TMS software for the exchange of data pertaining to unloaded goods, packaging, delays, losses, petrol receipts, etc.
Shipment and route planning
Our software can be linked to Advanced Planning Systems (APS / shipment optimization), such as Ortec and PTV, for automatic shipment planning. You communicate directly with the drivers via the TMS.
Tracking & tracing
Track your vehicles and consignments en route, for planning optimization, theft prevention, mileage administration and customer despatch tracking purposes.
Invoicing
Quick and easy invoicing of your transport requests, in addition to simple control of incoming invoices from subcontractors or self-billing.
Customs
Automated customs declarations, generate customs documentation, and track the declaration process in your TMS. Our software works in sync with the systems used by Dutch Customs.
App for drivers
With the app for mobile devices, drivers are informed of which consignments are due. Upon delivery, the recipient signs it off digitally. All the data is automatically entered into the TMS and is accessible to everyone. Damages can be photographed and reported on via the app.
Customer portal
Via the customer portal, your customer sees the status of their consignment. Moreover, the customer can create new requests, signed-off freight documents can be printed off and invoices perused. All in all that saves on time-consuming requests!
TMS system: control the entire route
Of course, you want to plan the shipment of your customers as efficiently and economically as possible, so that you increase margins. Stay in control of your transportation administration with our powerful and easy-to-use TMS. From order to invoice – all in one system.

Some of our customers
"We opted for Boltrics because of their strong focus on logistics service providers, the standard yet highly flexible branch solution, and the Microsoft Dynamics platform as its core."
“With 3PL Dynamics, we can easily realize interfaces with 3rd parties and it enables us to support our air freight specific processes. In addition, the same solution also houses our warehouse and transport activities, which makes it possible to integrate all process in one solution, enter data only once, and gain with our management information a complete overview of all our activities at a glance.”
"Our solution is built on standard Dynamics 365 Business Central technology, without customization, so we can join seamlessly along with upgrades in the future, so no problem anymore with outdated legacy software."
“Having chosen 3PL Dynamics it’s possible for Estron to register and support all warehouse processes, such as goods in, goods out, storage, production process, cross-docking, order picking, goods blockading, invoicing and reporting. The processes are sully supported with RF scanners.”
“The maxim at HK Logistics is to serve customers at a high service level. We believe that Nekovri Dynamics contributes greatly to this. The software combines a standard package with sector-specific cold store prerequisites. This yields even more efficient business operations and we can offer our customers an enhanced service”.
“As 3PL Dynamics is continuously reviewed we’ll never reach that point where the software is obsolete and that, for example, after 10 years only a full reimplementation will suffice. As such we’re transitioning from registration to control and management.”
Works
universally
On-site
With the on-site variant, the software is physically installed on your own server, be it at your offices, or externally with a data center. The hardware is then managed by your own IT department or by an external party. The software can subsequently be accessed within the organization’s local area network (LAN).
In the cloud
If you would prefer your software ‘in the cloud’, then the software can be installed on a server somewhere in the ether that you link up with online, irrespective of your location. No additional worries about data & performance as IT management are included in the monthly fee. Your IT department manages the system purely at a functional level.
Hybrid
Hybrid is a combination of cloud and on-site systems. For example, the logistics software is on-site and other software such as CRM online, Office365 and Power BI is in the cloud. Everything is fully integrated, meaning the users are unaware which environment they are working in. Moreover, the same log-in details are used for all systems.
