Trimble Brings Cloud TMS to North American Shippers

AI tools automate freight planning, visibility, carrier vetting and cost management through a configurable bundle

WESTMINSTER, CO, June 16, 2026 – Trimble has introduced a cloud-native Transportation Management System (TMS) for North American shippers and third-party logistics providers, bringing freight workflows, carrier interactions and supply chain operations into a single environment.

Trimble TMS for Shippers is an AI-integrated transportation management system that combines automation and real-time visibility in a core bundle. Companies can add point solutions to configure the system for specific requirements, with access to tools from freight procurement to settlement.

Trimble TMS uses AI/ML-powered freight management products and integrates with existing enterprise resource planning systems. Core capabilities include Transport Planning & Execution, Freight Marketplace sourcing, Freight Visibility, Dock and Yard Management, Freight Audit, and Mapping & Routing, including routing software integrations with PC*Miler and Appian, the latter ideal for private fleets.

Trimble says the platform uses AI to automate freight planning and assignment, predictive ETA tracking, carrier vetting and related workflows. The system also supports analytics, compliance, disruption planning for weather and geopolitical volatility, and sustainability efforts such as reducing carbon emissions through network visibility and improved truck fill.

“In an era of constant disruption, shippers need an agile TMS that acts as a strategic nerve center for logistics,” said Chris Keating, senior vice president, transportation and logistics at Trimble. “Our AI-driven platform allows customers to build their ideal system – selecting functionalities they need, from freight procurement to settlement – without the burden of ‘ripping and replacing’ existing infrastructure. By combining cloud-native architecture with a global network of 210,000+ carriers and 1,500+ shippers, Trimble enables end-to-end visibility and operational efficiency.”

Availability

Trimble TMS for Shippers is available for shippers and logistics providers in North America as a bundled solution. The bundle combines commonly used capabilities and is structured for monthly cost predictability.

The current bundle includes Transport Assignment with Transport Planner, Freight Visibility, Data Insights for reporting and analytics, the Exchange platform for integrations, and complimentary event management and attachment services add-ons. An additional cost management add-on, enabled by PC*Miler, is available at an extra cost.
