Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what shippers ask most before choosing a TMS: pricing, implementation, contract vs. spot freight, and integrations.

TMS Basics

What should a complete TMS include?
A complete transportation management system covers rate management, spot procurement, tender management, tracking, and freight finance in one platform. Easy4Pro unifies all five for industrial shippers, so teams aren't stitching together separate tools for each function.
What are the benefits of a TMS?
The right TMS software cuts freight cost through carrier competition and rate discipline, gives real-time visibility into every shipment, and replaces manual booking with automated workflows. On Easy4Pro specifically, customers see an average of 28% cost avoidance once contract, spot, and urgent freight run through one platform instead of three.

Pricing & Implementation

How is Easy4Pro priced?
No setup fees, no licenses, no lock-in. Zero implementation cost, with no volume commitment for your first 60 days. Pricing itself is a small percentage of the transport volume you process, from day one.
How long does it take to implement a TMS like Easy4Pro?
Easy4Pro has zero implementation cost and a 2-month trial with no volume commitment, so teams can test the platform on real shipments before deciding.
How much can a company save by switching to Easy4Pro?
Platform-wide, customers see an average of 28% cost avoidance on freight spend. Results vary by volume and freight mix, and are highest for companies with a significant share of spot and urgent shipments.

Contract & Spot Freight

Can one TMS really handle both contract and spot freight?
Yes. Easy4Pro manages contract, pre-negotiated spot, and on-demand spot freight in the same platform, across all transport modes, so teams aren't switching tools when a shipment turns urgent.
What's the difference between spot freight and contract freight?
Contract freight runs on fixed, pre-agreed rates with a carrier over a set period. Spot freight is booked on the open market, either pre-negotiated for fast activation or fully on-demand for urgent, last-minute shipments.
Why do urgent shipments cost more than planned freight?
Urgent shipments are usually booked reactively, through phone calls or email, with little time to compare carrier prices. That lack of competition drives rates up. A TMS with real-time bidding for urgent freight closes that gap.

Integrations

Does Easy4Pro integrate with our ERP or WMS?
Yes, through a generic API at no extra cost. SAP, Oracle, and custom integrations are also possible.
