The challenge
Why this breaks without a TMS
Intermodal freight fails when each mode lives in a separate spreadsheet and nobody owns the handoff between legs.
The ZingTMS approach
How we solve it
ZingTMS models the full journey as linked legs with carriers, milestones, and documents so control-tower teams see the whole move.
What you can do
Multi-leg & Intermodal Planning is designed for daily freight operations - not slideware checklists.
Define multi-leg itineraries with mode per leg
Track handoff locations, cutoffs, and transfer windows
Assign different carriers or LSPs per leg
Propagate master shipment status from leg milestones
Attach mode-specific documents to the right leg
Coordinate with ocean, air, and road visibility feeds
Business benefits
Outcomes procurement, ops, and finance leaders use to justify the platform.
- End-to-end journey visibility across modes
- Clear ownership of each leg and transfer point
- Fewer lost containers and missed rail cutoffs
- Unified customer communication for complex moves
Typical use cases
Import containers with port, rail, and final-mile trucking
Air freight with trucker pickup and delivery legs
Domestic intermodal box moves with rail and drayage

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers for operations, IT, and finance evaluators.
Can billing differ by leg?+
Yes. Cost and sell-side charges can be attributed by leg while remaining linked to the master shipment.
How are delays handled across legs?+
Exception rules can cascade delay risk to downstream legs and notify stakeholders early.
Is customs documentation tied to intermodal legs?+
Documents and compliance artifacts attach at shipment or leg level for brokerage and audit.
