The sell-side rating methods supported by a TMS solution can easily become a differentiator for a logistics service provider (LSP) and has the potential to decrease maintenance and overhead

The TMS shouldn’t force you into one singular rating method for a client, but instead give you the flexibility to choose the rating strategy that works best in each case to allow you to better serve your customer and remain competitive.
