The challenge
Why this breaks without a TMS
Exceptions hide in inboxes until customers escalate. By then, recovery options and margin are already gone.
The ZingTMS approach
How we solve it
ZingTMS turns exceptions into tracked work items with owners, SLAs, and links back to the shipment, trip, and customer communication.
What you can do
Exception Management is designed for daily freight operations - not slideware checklists.
Structured exception types and severity levels
Auto-create exceptions from tracking and geofence rules
Assign owners and escalation paths
Customer and carrier notification hooks
Resolution notes and root-cause capture
Feed scorecards, control tower, and settlement disputes
Business benefits
Outcomes procurement, ops, and finance leaders use to justify the platform.
- Earlier intervention on at-risk shipments
- Consistent coding for analytics and carrier scorecards
- Clear ownership instead of email chaos
- Better customer trust through proactive updates
Typical use cases
Control-tower teams monitoring national networks
Customer service desks handling delivery exceptions
