Lingser Lightweight TMS: A Walkthrough of Each Module's Development

A TMS (transportation management system) is a logistics and transportation platform, and a component of the supply chain management (SCM) system. Our company has developed a lightweight TMS to provide intelligent management solutions for small and micro-sized clients in the logistics industry, aimed at raising logistics dispatch efficiency and optimizing transportation workflows.

Dispatch System: Data-Driven, Precision Dispatching

The dispatch system's large-screen display is a standout feature. Operational data—fleet size, driver headcount, total waybills, deliveries completed today, items yet to be delivered, cumulative deliveries—is presented at a glance, giving managers an intuitive overview of operations. Vehicle information refreshes in real time on the map, with live statistics on vehicles that are offline, stationary, moving, or not yet started. The vehicle information list is thoroughly detailed, and managers can also pull up each vehicle's real-time load information—customer name, waybill number, quantity, delivery status, and more—for a complete picture of transportation in motion.

Trajectory lookup is quick and convenient: enter a license plate number to retrieve a vehicle's route over any given time range, lending solid support to transportation safety and route optimization. For dispatching, the system offers two modes: zone-based assignment and waybill assignment. Zone-based dispatching filters orders by consignee, delivery route, method, or customer type and creates batch operations, and it supports custom map zones that can be added and drawn. Waybill assignment likewise filters orders on multiple criteria for precise assignment. On top of that, the delivery calculation feature uses AI to work out delivery sequences and unloading counts, while still allowing manual rerouting—intelligence and flexibility in equal measure.

Driver App: Simple Operation, Smoother Delivery

The driver app is designed to be lean and practical. The home screen lists pending delivery orders by default; when picking up shipments, drivers connect a Bluetooth device, with customers and the number of remaining drop-off points clearly in view. The system suggests a default delivery sequence that drivers can freely reorder to match real-world conditions, adding flexibility to delivery. The pickup function lets drivers view the waybill list and perform pickup operations, while the "Mine" section handles related settings and information.

User App: Effortless Ordering, Easy Tracking

The user app is all about convenience. The home screen brings together shipment tracking, order placement, and address management, supporting both single and batch freight orders. Tracking lets users query sent and received item information by keyword, so cargo status is never more than a tap away. Notably, the user app and the driver app can switch between each other, serving the needs of different roles.

The arrival of this lightweight logistics TMS promises the industry a more efficient, more intelligent transportation management experience and another push toward digital upgrading. As competition in logistics keeps intensifying, the system—with its distinctive capabilities—may well become a decisive weapon for logistics companies sharpening their competitive edge.
