Create a competitive advantage
Not long ago, transportation management was considered a tactical concern — a necessary cost of doing business, which had little impact on margins or profitability. But today, all that is changing. Rising costs, changes to the manufacturing model, and increased pressures for improved service have made transportation management a strategic issue.

Sterling Transportation Management System (TMS) reduces transportation costs and improves customer service by providing shippers with efficient planning and execution of inbound and outbound transportation processes. Transportation planning, shipment execution, financial settlement and tracking visibility are delivered through an on-demand solution. And with its collaborative logistics network of more than 7,000 carriers transacting over 6 million shipments per year, it is the world’s largest on-demand transportation management solution.
