Forwarding Software TMS

In October 1999, the SCHMIDT Group implemented their state-of-the art software ”TMS” (Transport Management System). TMS is a fully integrated software package operating with client servers, which covers all activities including quotations, order processing, traffic and accounts.

TMS was developed in co-operation with dsb AG who also created and operated the previous software system. Indeed, being fairly unusual in the logistics industry, the successful and intensive team-work has been ongoing for more than 30 years.

More than 160 users at locations in the SCHMIDT network are linked online to a common server by VPN (Virtual Private Network). This provides the instant and same level of information to every user anywhere in Europe. In particular, exact transport information, supported by a fully integrated satellite communication tool, can be provided to customers at any time.
