Trucksters - TMS (Transport Management System)

The Challenge

Trucksters, the logistics operator revolutionizing the industry with an AI-driven relay system, needed a robust and advanced Transport Management System (TMS). This system was to be the "brain" of the entire operation, enabling the coordination of a complex network of drivers, trucks, and cargo in real-time across European corridors.

The main challenges included:

• Operational Complexity: Coordinating relays between drivers so that the cargo never stops.
• Resource Optimization: Maximizing route efficiency and truck occupancy.
• Total Visibility: Controlling every shipment and every asset at all times to guarantee safety and deadlnes.

Our Solution

We developed Trucksters' TMS as an all-in-one logistics management and optimization platform:

Key Features

1. Planning and Optimization Algorithms
   • Decision engine based on optimization algorithms to automatically assign loads and plan relays.
   • Reduction of transit times by up to 50% matching air travel speed at trucking costs.
2. Real-Time Order Monitoring
   • Advanced dashboard for the operations team with end-to-end visibility of every order.
   • Automatic alerts for deviations or predicted delays.
3. Geofencing and Security
   • Definition of virtual perimeters (geozones) at loading, unloading points, and relay areas.
   • Automatic entry/exit notifications and unauthorized stop detection.
4. GPS Driver Tracking
   • Integration with telematics devices and the drivers' PWA for constant monitoring.
   • Advanced telemetry to monitor vehicle health and driving style.

Tech Stack

• Backend: Microservices in Python / Go (optimization engines) and Node.js for the core API.
• Frontend: High-performance Vue.js for complex operations dashboards.
• Infrastructure: AWS with scalable architecture and geospatial databases.
• Integrations: Connection with telematics providers (GPS) and external systems (ERP/WMS).

The Result

✅ Operational Efficiency: Full automation of load and relay flow, allowing the business to scale without a proportional increase in the traffic team.

✅ Critical Visibility: Drastic reduction in uncertainty for customers thanks to real-time tracking and ultra-precise Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA).

✅ Business Impact: The TMS became Trucksters' key competitive advantage, enabling its unique relay model in Europe.

"The TMS is the heart of Trucksters. Without this technology, coordinating a relay network at a European scale would be impossible. It has allowed us to move from manual management to an intelligent platform that optimizes every kilometer and ensures our drivers get home sooner, while the cargo arrives faster than ever."
