Transport management software
Turn orders, own fleet, 3rd parties, depots, driver availability and real-world road constraints into efficient, workable transport plans and manages the smooth execution of these plans. CACI transport management software gives planning teams the visibility and control to reduce unnecessary mileage, use capacity more effectively, improve communication with carriers and customers, tracks and reports on everything in real-time and improves customer service.
TMS Route Planning and Optimisation: turn complex constraints into workable plans
CACI’s transport management system (TMS) transforms orders, 3PL, own fleet and driver data into viable plans. Its transport planning software uses data from ERP, order management and warehouse systems to evaluate millions of route and resource combinations.
The route optimisation module, Pin Routes accounts for drive times, vehicle capacities, access restrictions, depot rules, driver shifts, time windows and paired collections and deliveries—balancing service, mileage, capacity and cost.
Pin Routes can quickly and easily automate process on 3rd party carriers: Should they be used? Which one? How will they work alongside own fleet? How much will it cost?
Delivered as cloud-based logistics optimisation software, Pin Routes supports browser planning, APIs and file uploads. Pin Live integration connects transport plans with live execution and plan-versus-actual performance.
TMS Route Execution: real-time visibility and control from plan to delivery
CACI’s transport management system (TMS) provides a real-time platform for routes to be managed from the plan all the way through to the post-event reporting.
The route execution module, Pin Live provides real-time tracking of all orders, drivers and vehicles, scanning products on and off, customer messaging, proof of delivery, driver management, all the way through to planned-vs-actual analysis.
Delivered as cloud-based logistics execution software and a driver app, Pin Live supports a user and customer portal, the handheld app, integration through APIs and Webhooks, SMS and email messaging, HGV navigation and fleet management.

How our transport management software supports logistics operations
Build feasible plans around real constraints
Optimise delivery, collection and service routes around time windows, vehicle capacity, driver shifts, depot rules, paired jobs, access restrictions and drive times; creating plans that work on the road.
Reduce transport cost at source
Test resource and route choices before vehicles leave the depot. Improved use of third parties, fewer avoidable miles, better load utilisation and clearer resource requirements help control fuel, labour, subcontracting and vehicle costs.
Connect carrier and freight workflows
Connect shipment, route, mileage and cost data with carrier, ERP and finance systems to support procurement, rate evaluation, freight audit, invoice matching and reconciliation.
Improves customer communications
Proactively messages customers to let them know the status of their order, via email and / or SMS, giving them a one-tap view of their order location and when to expect it.
Make planning faster and repeatable
Replace spreadsheets with configurable rules, reusable scenarios and browser-based planning across depots, regions and operating models.
Gives visibility and control
Tracks all orders, drivers and vehicles in real time, highlighting ETAs vs customer expectations, facilitating management by exception.
Measure the transport outcomes that matter
Track planned versus actual mileage, driver hours, vehicles used, route adherence, utilisation, on-time performance and cost-to-serve. Use the results to refine constraints and improve the next planning cycle.

First, middle and final mile
Plan collections, trunking, replenishment, delivery and service activity across different stages of the transport network.
High-quality logistics data
Combine your operational inputs with detailed roads, drive times, vehicle navigation constraints and precise address locations to improve plan quality.
Cloud scale without infrastructure overhead
Access a fully hosted, browser-based platform, deploy across planning teams and stay on the current software version without maintaining local servers.
Multi-depot resource coordination
Allocate orders, vehicles and drivers across depots while accounting for operating territories, resource availability, depot capacity and local planning rules.
Strategic transport scenario modelling
Compare depot allocations, fleet configurations, delivery frequencies and service rules to understand their effect on mileage, capacity, cost and customer service.

FAQs
Answers to common questions about transport management.
Transport management software, often called a transport management system or TMS, helps organisations plan, optimise, monitor and improve the movement of goods or service resources, whilst providing communications, visibility and control. It brings orders, locations, vehicles, drivers and operating constraints together so teams can build workable routes, use capacity efficiently and measure transport performance.
A TMS can support transport planning, route optimisation, scheduling, resource allocation, dispatch visibility, exception management, driver management, customer communications, proof of delivery, performance reporting and integration with order and/or warehouse systems. The exact scope varies: CACI uses Pin Routes for planning and optimisation and Pin Live for live execution, order tracking and proof of delivery.
It identifies more efficient combinations of stops, routes, vehicles and driver time before work is dispatched. This can reduce avoidable mileage, overtime, empty running and unnecessary vehicle use while improving utilisation. Pin Routes typically delivers savings of 5–25%, depending on the operation and starting point. Pin Live provides end to end visibility to facilitate ongoing cost improvements.
Yes. A TMS commonly exchanges data with ERP, order management, and / or warehouse management platforms. Typically the integration uses APIs, Webhooks or file transfers. Both Pin Routes and Pin Live support these methods.
Transport management software can support carrier selection, rate management, load tendering, freight audit and invoice reconciliation. Pin Routes can exchange planning, mileage and cost data with ERP, carrier management and finance systems, helping connect route optimisation with wider freight and commercial workflows.
Yes. It can model multiple depots, territories, fleets and operating rules, helping planners compare resource requirements and coordinate work at scale. Configuration should reflect local constraints while preserving consistent planning and reporting.
Timelines depend on data quality, integrations, operating complexity, user groups and the number of depots. A phased implementation usually covers discovery, data preparation, integration, configuration, scenario validation, user testing, training and performance baselining before wider rollout.
Useful measures include total miles, empty miles, driver hours, vehicles required, vehicle and load utilisation, planning time, on-time performance, cost per stop or order, failed service, and transport-related emissions. Agree the baseline before implementation so improvement can be evidenced.
