Vertex said its eTMS software manages the transportation connections that link multiple warehouses and distribution centers from a centralized computer server, while permitting access and distributed processing over the Internet from any remote location. By centralizing the system, eTMS saves money and reduces shipping and operating costs for companies with more than one warehouse or distribution center, Vertex said.

By maintaining business rules, carrier rates and shipping settings at one location, users can set guidelines on an enterprise-wide basis or customize guidelines for each location, said Vertex. The software supports small package, LTL, truckload and local carriers, the firm added.
