Transport platform by company size: Maxmove grows from single bookings to a full TMS

Whether it is a single shipment, a team with regular transports or your own fleet: with Maxmove you start small and stay with Maxmove as volume grows.

The short answer

The decision first, followed by reasoning and sources.

Maxmove fits every company size because you start small and do not have to switch as you grow: single shipments are booked at an instant price, regular transports in the Business workspace with team access and a monthly invoice, and your own drivers run in the Maxmove TMS with dispatch, driver app, proof of delivery and e-invoicing. You start the TMS free and self-service; paid plans follow shipment volume rather than the number of users, and larger operators get Enterprise with an individual offer. Teams switching from another TMS use Maxmove without a software fee for the documented remaining term, up to 12 months.

Specific questions, answered directly

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

Which TMS suits a small forwarder with fewer than 20 vehicles?
The Maxmove TMS: you start free and self-service, dispatch on list and map, your drivers work in the driver app with navigation and proof of delivery, and invoices go out as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD. You pay by shipment volume, not per user.
What does forwarding software implementation cost?
Beyond licences, migration, training and project time usually add cost. With Maxmove there is no implementation project: you start free, set up master data yourself and pay by shipment volume on a paid plan. With the TMS switch guarantee, there is no software fee for up to 12 months during the remaining term of your old contract.
Does a small company need a TMS at all?
Not without your own drivers: then you book transport directly with Maxmove at an instant price or in the Business workspace with a monthly invoice. Once you add your own drivers, you use the Maxmove TMS and start there free.
How should an enterprise TMS be selected?
With real orders rather than slides. Maxmove runs as a pilot alongside your existing system: roles, a REST API with webhooks and analytics on orders and on-time performance with export show in live operation whether the workflows fit. Enterprise comes with an individual offer.

What changes the decision in practice

Under 20 vehicles: up and running fast

Small dispatch teams lose more to duplicate entry than to missing specialist modules. In the Maxmove TMS you set up drivers, vehicles and orders yourself and dispatch without an implementation project.

  • Free self-service start
  • Driver app with navigation and guided delivery
  • Pricing by shipment volume, not per user

When a TMS pays off

As soon as orders are retyped, drivers are phoned for status updates or proofs of delivery have to be searched for. Maxmove reads orders from emails and PDF attachments, shows status live and stores the proof directly on the order.

  • Email order intake with AI extraction
  • Live status instead of status calls
  • Invoices as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD

Larger operators: roles, API and pilot

For larger teams, Maxmove offers roles and permissions, a REST API with webhooks and Enterprise with an individual offer. You set up a pilot with real orders alongside your existing system.

  • Roles from owner to driver
  • REST API and webhooks for every status
  • Own drivers and subcontractors in one dispatch
