Turn transport data into continuous improvement
Alpha-TMS captures every order, shipment, carrier action and cost in one platform. Transform that data into insights that reduce freight spend, improve carrier performance and strengthen decision-making across your transport operation.
Measure what matters
Most shippers receive transport reports from carriers, spreadsheets from planners and cost data from finance. The information exists, but it is fragmented and difficult to compare.
Because every transport order flows through alpha-TMS, operational, financial and carrier data are already connected. There is no need to combine reports from multiple systems. Performance is measured directly from the source.
Whether you want to understand freight spend, identify consolidation opportunities or evaluate carrier performance, the information is available in real time.
Transport spend visibility
Alpha-TMS gives you complete insight into freight spend across carriers, customers, locations and business units, including fuel surcharges, additional services and unforeseen costs. During scheduling, alpha-TMS also records the saving potential of every order by comparing the selected carrier against available alternatives. This allows you to measure not only what you spend, but also what could have been saved. Combined with visibility into additional costs registered during execution and spot market behaviour you gain a clear understanding of the true drivers behind your transport spend.
Objective carrier performance
Carrier relationships should be driven by facts rather than assumptions. Because alpha-TMS records every scheduling decision, delivery update and operational issue, full on-time-in-full (OTIF) performance can be measured consistently across your entire carrier network.
Performance is measured across three main areas:
Scheduling performance (requested vs scheduled)
Delivery performance (scheduled vs actual)
Issue registration (manual registration of issues)
Together, they show not only whether a carrier was selected and delivered on time, but also how often additional costs, claims or other exceptions occur.
Sustainability & CSRD reporting
Sustainability requirements are increasing, and transport emissions must be measurable at operational level. Alpha-TMS calculates CO₂ emissions per shipment using a validated external data source. When carriers provide verified emission data, this can be integrated directly into the platform.
This enables you to:
Monitor transport emissions in real time
Use validated or carrier-provided emission data per shipment
Compare carrier sustainability performance
Identify emission reduction opportunities
Support internal sustainability targets
Prepare CSRD and ESG reporting requirements
Sustainability becomes an integrated part of transport operations rather than a separate reporting exercise.
Export or connect to your own BI tools
Not every organisation analyses transport data in the same way. Alpha-TMS provides standard dashboards and reporting capabilities, while also allowing full access to underlying data for external analysis and integration. This ensures you can work with transport data in the way that best fits your organisation, whether operationally or at enterprise level.
Data can be exported directly to Excel or accessed via API for integration with BI tools and internal systems. Use Alpha-TMS as your operational source of truth, or combine it with existing business intelligence environments for deeper analysis and cross-functional reporting.

Analytics & Performance Software
Alpha-TMS turns transport execution data into continuous improvement insights for operations. Every order, shipment, carrier action, cost and emission is captured in one platform, creating a single source of truth instead of fragmented reports from carriers, planners and finance systems, so performance can be measured directly from execution data in real time.
Alpha-TMS provides full visibility into transport spend, including base rates, surcharges, extra services and unforeseen costs, and calculates saving potential at scheduling by comparing carrier options, making optimisation opportunities visible before execution and improving decision-making quality across your network.
Sustainability is integrated through CO₂ emission tracking per shipment using validated external data and carrier inputs, enabling monitoring and CSRD reporting readiness. Alpha-TMS provides dashboards and can fully share data via Excel export or BI integration.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about alpha-TMS
What analytics does alpha-TMS provide?
Alpha-TMS provides analytics across freight spend, carrier performance, OTIF (On-Time In-Full), scheduling performance, saving potential, delay reasons, cost breakdowns and CO₂ emissions. All data comes directly from transport execution, so you measure performance from the source rather than reconciling reports from multiple systems.
How does alpha-TMS measure carrier performance?
Alpha-TMS measures carrier performance across three dimensions: scheduling performance (whether the carrier was selected on time versus what was requested), delivery performance (whether the carrier delivered on the scheduled date), and issue registration (additional costs, claims and other exceptions logged during execution). This gives a consistent, objective view of every carrier in your network.
What is OTIF and how does alpha-TMS report it?
OTIF stands for On-Time In-Full — the percentage of orders delivered on time and complete. Alpha-TMS reports OTIF at order, carrier and lane level, using data from transport execution rather than carrier self-reporting, so the measurement is objective and consistent.
How does alpha-TMS calculate saving potential?
When a transport order is scheduled, alpha-TMS records the cost of the selected carrier and compares it against available alternatives. The difference is the saving potential. This allows you to see, at order level, how much more or less was spent compared to the cheapest available option — and over time, to evaluate scheduling decisions and identify where costs can be reduced.
How does alpha-TMS support CSRD reporting?
Alpha-TMS calculates CO₂ emissions per shipment using a validated external data source. Where carriers provide verified emission data, this can be integrated directly. The platform tracks emissions in real time, allows comparison of carrier sustainability performance, and provides the data needed for CSRD and ESG reporting at operational level.
Can I connect alpha-TMS data to my own BI tools?
Yes. Alpha-TMS provides standard dashboards for operational use and allows full access to underlying transport data via API. You can export data to Excel or connect alpha-TMS to your existing business intelligence environment for deeper analysis, cross-functional reporting and custom dashboards.
