Note: Sorry some of them are repeated, but with different termonilogy so you can have a better idea. You can request the free demo to know more.




It will be Web-Based.

Is it different if its Web-Based or cd instalation in every pc?

employees using the software at the same time range from 5 to 200 during office hours. Does it have to do with Internet Speed, Hosting Server or software Development?

How much would it cost?

How long would it take?

Is it a good idea to have this kind of software in the same Company-Website just with the Log-In for Employees?

How much would it be with api and soap(automated programming integration) (simple object access protocol) included?

we are planning to hire hosting/server for now, but, how much would it cost if we want to have our own server too? equipment, maintenance, etc? can you give me an idea please?

is there a way to know if those tms services online have their own hosting/server?

here i provide a few more links offering tms software online, so you can have a better idea:

www.StrategyLive.com  (in this one they offer INTERFACE with other web-based services,
which we need too, so.. Do we need to have a Contract/Agreement to link our
Company software with those web services?)

--Next ones are Local-Based

Mile.com


Note: Make sure you check examples for brokers, not carriers or shippers. You can check them but only for understanding.
