Transportation Management Software
As a logistics service provider, you know that transport entails so much more than transporting goods from A to B. You are dealing with razor-thin margins and increasing customer expectations. Are you worried about wasting money on unluckily planned stops? Do your customers require 24/7 insight into the latest status? Or do you waste time manually invoicing your transport requests?
Discover the possibilities of the Boltrics’ TMS software. Supporting all transportation management activities of 3PL logistics service providers, 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!
Make sure you’re in control of your margins. Create a transparent overview of the costs and revenues per trip.

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.”
