Transportation Management System
Better Loads. Higher Margins. Fewer Guesses.
Built by operators who could not buy what they needed. PIE TMS connects order capture, planning, consolidation, execution, visibility, and invoice readiness in one operating system.
Our Origin
We Built It Because We Could Not Buy It
PIE TMS was created by transportation leaders who operated complex logistics networks — not by software vendors guessing from the outside.
“We did not begin with software and look for a transportation problem. We spent decades solving transportation problems and built the software the market was missing.”

Market Gap
Your System Knows Everything Except What To Do
Existing systems record shipments. The real gap is helping teams decide what should happen next.
Which shipments need attention today?
Which loads will miss their window if nobody moves?
Which freight should move together — and where?
Which PODs are missing on freight we already delivered?
Which carrier should receive the tender?
Which delivered shipments are ready to invoice?
PIE TMS moves the operation from searching for problems to managing prioritized decisions.

Outcomes
Five Outcomes, and Where to Verify Each
What changes when the platform is running — and the part of it responsible for each.
Better Decisions
Mode, service, routing, and carrier choices based on rules, cost, service, and risk.
Higher Margin
Consolidation and trailer utilization turn empty capacity into measurable value.
Lower Manual Effort
Automation, dashboards, and AI documents reduce searching, rekeying, and reconciliation.
Faster Onboarding
Reusable EDI/API patterns accelerate customer and carrier connectivity.
Clear Priorities
Daily work plans and exception queues tell teams what needs attention now.
Planning
The Planner Starts From a Shortlist
Weight, cube, geography, service rules, commitments, and capacity are evaluated together — before anyone is asked to decide.
Profit Engine
Empty Cube Is Margin You Already Paid For
In consolidation, every unused pallet position and empty cube can be lost margin. PIE TMS connects load planning directly to profitability.
Rapid Load-Plan Evaluation
Loading options re-evaluated as freight arrives, not once at cut-off.
Profit-Aware Consolidation
Planned vs. Actual · Weight · Cube · Stackability · Stop Sequence.
Utilization You Can Act On
Shows owners where capacity is being left on the table.
Documents
AI-Assisted Document Processing
Every document is classified on arrival, its fields pulled off it, and it is attached to the order, shipment, stop, or invoice it belongs to.

Operations
The Day Arrives Already Prioritized
Every person opens a work plan built from the state of the freight, and every manager sees the same exceptions, ordered by what they cost.
Employee Work Plan
Exception Detail
Load #48213 — ETA Slipping
Reason: Carrier delay at origin dock
Tier-1 customer service risk
Impact: ETA risk
Re-tender or notify customer
Action: Rule, data, and decision logged
Integration
Onboarding an Electronic Partner, From Weeks to Hours
Traditional Integration
PIE Integration Model
Reusable mappings, configurable EDI transactions, APIs, and automated validation shorten onboarding cycles. The limit is usually the partner, not the platform: supported types with specs and test files land in hours, and the rest depend on how fast the other side moves.
Technology
Built for an Operation That Does Not Stop
Cloud-native, API-first, secure, and built for speed — so the TMS does not become the bottleneck.
Cloud-Native Platform
Scalable cloud deployment with tenant isolation and dedicated options.
API-First + Event-Driven
Designed for real-time transportation events, faster integration, and automation.
Secure by Design
Access control, audit trails, data isolation, and enterprise integration patterns.
Fast User Experience
Built to process high-volume operational actions without slowing planners down.
PIE TMS is not a legacy load board with modern screens. It is a modern transportation operating platform engineered for complex planning, automation, integration, and decision support.
Deployment
Enterprise-Ready Deployment
Secure multi-tenant SaaS or dedicated deployment — built to scale from a single operation to a global, multi-entity network.
Tenant-Isolated Security
Customer data, access rules, configuration, and workflows separated by tenant.
Cloud SaaS or Dedicated
Choose shared SaaS efficiency or a dedicated environment for greater control.
Integration at Scale
EDI, APIs, event processing, and document flows designed for high-volume networks.
Enterprise Auditability
Role-based access, event history, document trail, and decision logging.
Executive Value
Built for Every Seat at the Table
The same platform creates different value for each stakeholder.
CEO
Scalable growth, stronger customer retention, better service control.
CIO
Modern cloud architecture, secure integration, configurable workflows.
COO
Standardized execution, faster exception resolution, better carrier performance.
CFO
Cost visibility, fewer missed charges, faster invoice readiness.
Transportation Lead
Better planning, consolidation, ETA risk, and one operating view.

Built for Our Own Operations. Now Available for Yours.
PIE TMS is not another shipment system. It is a transportation operating platform built to plan freight, protect margin, take out manual work, and tell every person on the team what needs them next. The fastest way to judge any of that is to put your own freight in front of it.
You will be talking to people who have run a transportation operation, not to a script.
