The challenge
Why this breaks without a TMS
Orders arrive by email, EDI, portal, and phone. Without a single order of record, planning, rating, and settlement break before the truck moves.
The ZingTMS approach
How we solve it
ZingTMS centralizes order and consignment management with enforced statuses, multi-party roles, mode-aware attributes, and links to shipments, loads, documents, and invoices.
What you can do
Order & Consignment Management is designed for daily freight operations - not slideware checklists.
Create and amend orders with shipper, consignee, bill-to, and notify parties
Capture cargo lines, packaging, dimensions, hazardous flags, and temperature needs
Apply service levels, Incoterms, and requested pickup/delivery windows
Split, consolidate, or reassign consignments into shipments
Enforce lifecycle transitions with role-based permissions
Attach documents, notes, and requirements at order level
