Your Transportation Management Provider
UTS uses a Transportation Management System (TMS).
It improves your operations by driving down costs and gaining control of your freights in transit. Shippers can use our TMS to automate many transactional processes.
UTS clients gain access to a high-end TMS for free. Here, you can manage thousands of shipments in real time.
Benefits of our
Transportation Management System
- No fees for implementation, setup, customization or training
- UTS professionals handle all TMS maintenance
- Uses 3PL providers for licensing, costs, compliance and transportation rates
- Your UTS service team adds value in ways a TMS cannot, such as disputing invalid carrier charges and managing freight claims

Our system integration technology allows you to interact directly with our transportation management platforms. With integration, your business participates in the real-time flow of transportation data.
Right now, UTS clients are using system integration to:
- Call rates and transit times
- Automate shipment tenders

- Confirm the completion of deliveries
- Capture shipment documentation
