Why Isn't TMS Enough?
Industry experts predict that a whopping 266 BILLION packages will ship annually by 2026. Simply put, a TMS doesn’t have the intelligence to navigate the growing number of shipping options and parcel strategies (such as same-day shipping, omnichannel fulfillment, and advanced carrier rate shopping) that allow your business to thrive.
Multi-Carrier Shipping Software (MCSS) is utilized by top retailers, manufacturers and 3PLs to navigate the evolving logistics landscape by only focusing on the parcel aspect of shipping. This allows enterprise shippers to benefit from the end-to-end optimization of getting products to your customers cost-effectively and in compliance while meeting or exceeding your customers’ delivery expectations.
So what is Multi-Carrier Shipping Software?
Multi-carrier shipping software, specifically ProShip, provides advanced parcel shipping functionality with powerful, flexible architecture to onboard a multitude of carriers, utilize the most advanced rate shopping functionality in the industry, expand omnichannel fulfillment strategies and more. It seamlessly integrates into your existing technology stack (OMS/eCom, WMS, ERP, etc) to further reduce costs within your supply chain.

With MCSS, every package is automatically rate shopped based on customer expectation parameters.

Stay Compliant
ProShip keeps customers compliant by maintaining close relationships with our carriers and our technology partners, allowing us to help you fine-tune advanced parcel capabilities, such as same-day and dangerous goods shipping.
Speed is the Name of the Game
ProShip’s on-premise carrier engines offer millisecond transaction times without web-services (APIs) that can result in latency and downtime during peak volumes.
MCSS is faster
TMS aren't designed specific to parcel shipping. MCSS is simply faster, in fact, ProShip can achieve millisecond transaction times because we build our own carrier engines.
MCSS Keeps you compliant
A TMS doesn’t specialize in compliance and can slow down shipping operations when rates change, surcharges are added and business rules update.
Only MCSS offers specialized parcel support
With such a broad offering of features, TMS support rarely focus on issues arising from parcel shipping. ProShip's only focus is parcel, and because of that we are able to take action quickly and provide parcel-specific training and online resources.
MCSS finds ways to save you money that TMS can't
By specializing in parcel, we provide a unique ecosystem that includes automatic rate shopping, powerful business insights and flexibility to scale to meet your evolving needs without investing in a new system.Top 4 Differences Between TMS vs. Multi-Carrier Shipping Software
Did you know that Transportation Management Systems (TMS) were originally developed for planning freight movement, freight rating and inbound shipping?
TMS is positioned as a one-stop shop for all things logistics, however, it lacks the parcel-specific features that optimize high-volume shipping operations. For that, you need multi-carrier shipping software (MCSS)
We’ve highlighted the top 4 differences between TMS and Multi-Carrier Shipping Software (MCSS), specifically ProShip.
It’s imperative to understand the differences between the two prior to making a purchase decision, as the wrong decision can affect your bottom line and/or become outdated quickly, requiring investment in a different system that can better serve your parcel needs.
