Carrier Scorecarding
Measure on-time, acceptance, and service quality by carrier
Build carrier scorecards from tender acceptance, on-time performance, exceptions, claims, and cost outcomes to guide routing guides and awards.

The challenge
Why this breaks without a TMS
Carrier decisions lean on anecdotes. Without shared KPIs, poor performers keep winning freight and strong partners get underused.
The ZingTMS approach
How we solve it
ZingTMS aggregates operational and procurement signals into scorecards that influence tender preference, RFP awards, and continuous improvement reviews.
What you can do
Carrier Scorecarding is designed for daily freight operations - not slideware checklists.
Track tender accept/reject and cover latency by carrier
Measure on-time pickup and delivery performance
Incorporate exception, damage, and claim indicators
Compare cost outcomes against awarded and market rates
Weight KPIs into composite scorecard views
Feed preferred-carrier logic for tendering and RFP awards
Business benefits
Outcomes procurement, ops, and finance leaders use to justify the platform.
- Route freight to carriers that actually perform
