> Aptean TOTALogistix TMS is a modern, multi-modal transportation management system, built to help shippers plan, execute, and optimize the physical movement of goods across truckload, LTL, intermodal, air, and ocean freight—all from one platform.

Manual load planning, disconnected carrier communication, and paperwork that lags behind the shipment itself make it hard to control freight costs or keep customers informed. TOTALogistix TMS addresses that by connecting inbound and outbound logistics, shipment planning, procurement, execution, tracking, and freight audit and pay in a single system. Load optimization and dock and appointment scheduling help you get more out of the capacity you already have, while mobile pack-and-ship and automated bill of lading and label printing reduce the manual effort tied to getting a shipment out the door.

Because TOTALogistix TMS gives your team real-time visibility into shipment status, you can move from reacting to carrier questions to proactively updating customers, which helps reduce the back-and-forth that comes with unclear ETAs. The system integrates with your ERP, so freight decisions stay connected to the orders and inventory driving them, and it supports both private fleet and common carrier operations, so it fits how your network runs today.

Because TOTALogistix TMS is part of Aptean AI Operating System, AppCentral, your transportation data also feeds Aptean Intelligence, the AI layer embedded across Aptean's applications. Instead of adding another dashboard to monitor, AI narrows what your team has to look at: predictive intelligence flags shipments and lanes at risk before they become exceptions, natural-language queries let a planner ask "which shipments are delayed today?" and get an answer without waiting on a report, and AI agents handle routine follow-ups on quotes, invoices, and order status. 

TOTALogistix TMS is designed for small and mid-sized shippers—manufacturers, distributors, and other businesses with multi-modal supply chains—who need cost-to-serve control without the complexity of an enterprise-only platform. Directionally, organizations using Aptean's transportation management software have reduced transportation and shipping costs by up to 20%, though actual savings depend on network complexity, mode mix, and current process maturity.

## Reviews

### "The first company in this category that is invested in our success" — 5.0/5

> **Val** | *17 February 2023* | Sporting Goods | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Software is only as good as developers who enhance and improve it. TLX does it well.
> 
> **Cons**: Estimating was loose \& goose, surprises appeared into implementation.
> 
> To have a business partner monitor usage of the software and follow up proactively after a new feature gets used just a few times to make sure everything is well is how it should be, but alas... The only time I have seen this happen is from TLX customer success team.
