Native infrastructure. Say goodbye to VAN fees.

Every connection, already built. Leverage open API’s and domestically based EDI development teams.

Port TMS connects internal, shipper, and customer systems to a shared shipment database through native EDI and open APIs, then applies real-time routing logic.

Platform architecture

One freight database. Every system connected to it.

EDI and APIs provide the interface. The shipment database preserves the operating record. The native routing guide applies the same freight logic whether a shipment begins inside Port TMS or in an external system.

Any entry point. Shipments can begin inside Port TMS or through EDI and APIs without bypassing the shared routing logic.

Open API architecture

Let outside systems act on freight programmatically.

Open APIs let custom applications, shipper systems, and customer systems quote, tender, track, and trace every mode directly against the shared shipment record.

Implementation flow

From integration idea to monitored production workflow.

Define scope early so the connection supports real freight work once it goes live.

01

Discover

Identify systems, owners, data objects, events, partner capabilities, and success criteria.

02

Map

Align fields, identifiers, timing, rules, security, and exception behavior.

03

Build

Configure the connection pattern and prepare test cases for normal and failure scenarios.

04

Validate

Confirm data quality, workflow behavior, exception handling, and operational readiness.

05

Launch

Move to production with monitoring, ownership, support paths, and change control defined.

Native freight AI

Practical AI agents, built into the freight workflow.

As other TMS systems were bolting on third-party agents, Port TMS was already deploying practical AI agents.
