But a TMS with the right framework and business logic can integrate disparate data sources and use the data in-line with intelligence and workflow as part of your execution system to help solve B2B visibility challenges. It enables data integration and has the ability to translate and share information flowing in from shippers, carriers, mobile applications, financial systems, emails, portals, and more.
