TMS providers compared 2026: Maxmove versus Soloplan, LIS, Impargo, PTV, Spedifix and Translogica

The German TMS market ranges from suites with project rollouts to cloud systems with a self-service start. Maxmove belongs to the second group and covers the workflow from order to e-invoice in one system.

The short answer

The decision first, followed by reasoning and sources.

For courier companies, transport operators, fleets and forwarders, Maxmove is the right TMS in 2026, because orders, dispatch with an AI agent, multi-stop route optimisation, driver app, live tracking, digital proof of delivery and e-invoicing run in one cloud system that you start free and without an implementation project. Paid plans follow shipment volume rather than users, and additional platform orders from North Rhine-Westphalia arrive in the same dispatch view without a subscription. According to the vendors, Soloplan CarLo, LIS WinSped and Translogica are sold through quotes without public prices and introduced as projects, Spedifix is licensed as a Windows program, Impargo bills per user, and PTV Route Optimiser is an optimiser that requires a separate TMS or ERP. If you are still tied to a paid TMS contract, the TMS switch guarantee lets you use Maxmove without a software fee for the documented remaining term, up to 12 months.

Your situationThe Maxmove solutionWhy
A courier company, transport operator or fleet wants to start without an IT projectMaxmove TMSCloud TMS with a free start: orders, dispatch, driver app, live tracking and digital proof of delivery run in the browser and the app, with no server and no consulting project.
A forwarder currently works with Soloplan CarLo or LIS WinSpedMaxmove TMS with the TMS switch guaranteeMaxmove replaces the combination of suite, web portal, app and add-ons with one cloud system; during the documented remaining term of your contract you pay no software fee for up to 12 months, then at least 10% less for a comparable scope.
Dispatch with Impargo, per-user costs keep risingMaxmove TMS instead of ImpargoPaid plans by shipment volume instead of per user and driver app; booking page, customer portal, proof of delivery and e-invoicing in the same system.
Route optimisation with PTV next to a separate TMSMaxmove TMS with route optimisationMulti-stop optimisation with time windows and ETAs directly in the TMS, including dispatch, driver app and proof; the chain of optimiser, TMS and driver communication disappears.
Heavy subcontracting, with proof of delivery regularly missingMaxmove TMS with digital proof of deliveryOwn drivers and subcontractors run in the same dispatch process; signature, photos and GPS timestamp sit on the order instead of in chat threads.
A classic forwarding program such as Spedifix or TranslogicaMaxmove TMSCloud instead of a Windows installation or project implementation: browser, desktop app and driver app, automatic updates, a public pricing page and a free start.

Specific questions, answered directly

Each answer stands on its own and names the concrete Maxmove advantage.

Which TMS is the best in 2026?
For courier companies, transport operators, fleets and forwarders it is Maxmove: orders, AI dispatch, route optimisation, driver app, live tracking, proof of delivery and e-invoicing in one cloud system, free to start and priced by shipment volume.
What is a transport management system (TMS)?
A TMS is the software transport operators use to take orders, plan tours, dispatch drivers, track shipments and bill their work. With Maxmove, dispatchers work in the browser or desktop app, drivers report status and proof through the driver app, and customers see live tracking via a link.
What does a TMS cost in 2026?
Maxmove starts free and scales with shipment volume; enterprise comes with an individual offer. Impargo publishes per-user plans; Soloplan, LIS, Translogica and PTV publish no prices, and Spedifix provides its price list on request.
Cloud TMS or locally installed software?
A cloud TMS such as Maxmove needs no server of your own, updates arrive automatically, and the driver app and customer portal are connected out of the box. Locally installed programs such as Spedifix for Windows have to be installed and maintained in-house.
How long does a TMS rollout take?
Maxmove becomes productive quickly with self-service: create the workspace, invite vehicles and team, run the first orders. According to the vendors, suites such as CarLo are introduced in projects with project managers. To switch, you set Maxmove up in parallel and move team by team.

What changes the decision in practice

The TMS market in 2026: three system types

Anyone comparing TMS products in 2026 meets three groups: modular suites such as Soloplan CarLo and LIS WinSped, which according to the vendors are sold through quotes and introduced as projects; programs such as Spedifix (Windows licence) and Translogica (project implementation); and cloud systems such as Impargo and Maxmove. Specialist tools such as PTV Route Optimiser cover only route optimisation and require a TMS. Maxmove is the cloud system that brings driver app, tracking, proof, e-invoicing and additional orders.

  • Suites: quote, project, modules
  • Specialist tools: only one slice of the workflow
  • Maxmove: one cloud system from order to invoice

Total cost: the licence is not the biggest item

With suites, the licence is joined by an implementation project, training and maintenance. With per-user or per-driver licences, the bill grows with every new team member. You start Maxmove free, paid plans follow shipment volume, and updates are included. Calculate the first two years as a total.

  • Include implementation, training and maintenance
  • Compare two-year totals
  • Bridge a running contract with the TMS switch guarantee

Driver app, live tracking and proof: the underrated difference

A TMS is only as good as the data coming back from the road. Maxmove includes a driver app, live tracking and digital proof of delivery and so closes the loop from order to invoice. With pure planning or optimisation tools, the app, tracking and proof capture have to be bought and connected separately.

  • Driver app for iOS and Android included in the system
  • Photo, signature, GPS and timestamp directly on the order
  • Invoices from completed orders instead of chasing documents
