Transportation Management System
Full control: Inbound logistics with AEB TMS
Cut costs, accelerate processes, ensure delivery performance: With AEB Transport Management Software (TMS), you can plan and control your inbound logistics consistently from one central location.
Transparency for your inbound logistics
Many logistics departments use spreadsheets, email, and disconnected software systems or self-developed solutions to control the flow of goods from supplier to their own warehouses. The result: High manual effort, little transparency and flexibility – and wasted cost-saving potential.
AEB Transport Management Software ensures smooth cooperation among all partners involved in inbound logistics – and ensures both consistent processes and transparency throughout.

- Complete transparency for shipments, shipment statuses, and estimated arrival times.
- Easy integration and collaboration with partners such as suppliers, freight forwarders, and purchasing offices.

Transparency in practice: Simplified data management
Transparency regarding deliveries and their status is essential for the efficient management of inbound logistics. The prerequisite for this is to obtain the necessary data from your suppliers: Which carrier was the order sent with? What goods does it actually contain, and in which package or container or on which pallet are they located?
