Vendor profiles

Impargo

Public pricing

Transport management platform with AI dispatch and an integrated truck route planner including toll calculation.

  • Strengths: Free entry plan with truck routing and toll calculation
  • Strengths: Transparent self-service pricing with a 14-day trial
  • Limitations: Per-user and per-app surcharges add up (paid plans include only 1 user)
Best for: Small fleets and solo dispatchers who want a low-cost start without a project.

Soloplan CarLo

Pricing not public

Modular forwarding software suite from order management with text recognition to AI route planning and invoicing.

  • Strengths: Very broad modular suite from order to billing with many integrations
  • Strengths: AI-supported automation including document intelligence
  • Limitations: No public price list – consultative, quote-based sales
Best for: Mid-size forwarders from roughly 20 trucks that need a complete suite.

LIS WinSped

Pricing not public

Established TMS with 44 years of product history, graphical dispatch, telematics integrations, and industry modules (incl. automotive/VDA).

  • Strengths: Decades of product maturity and deep functionality
  • Strengths: Broad telematics and third-party integrations
  • Limitations: No public price list; scope and cost depend on modules, add-ons and implementation
Best for: Established forwarders with specialised traffic that value depth over simplicity.

Translogica

Pricing not public

TDMS platform combining transport management with document and workflow management for complex end-to-end processes.

  • Strengths: TMS plus document/workflow management in one system
  • Strengths: Very broad process coverage from forwarding to warehousing and fleet, incl. an AI module
  • Limitations: No public price list
Best for: Large logistics providers with complex, document-heavy processes.

Spedifix

Pricing not public

Budget-positioned, modular forwarding program with over 35 years on the market.

  • Strengths: Budget positioning with a small-start module model
  • Strengths: Base package plus ~15 add-on modules (dispatch, telematics, warehouse, e-invoicing)
  • Limitations: Traditional purchase/leasing/rental licensing instead of a cloud SaaS subscription
Best for: Small forwarders with a traditional Windows workflow and a tight software budget.

PTV Route Optimiser

Pricing not public

Specialised route optimisation that distributes orders across the fleet automatically – with strict constraint handling, ETAs, and CO₂ tracking.

  • Strengths: Decades of optimisation know-how (time windows, vehicle specifics, qualifications)
  • Strengths: ETA calculation and CO₂ tracking
  • Limitations: Not a full TMS – order management and billing are out of scope
Best for: Fleets that want to attach a specialised optimisation tool to an existing TMS.

Which TMS fits you?

Four typical starting points – and the system that fits each best.

Which TMS fits you?
Your situationSuitable solutionWhy
Courier service or small fleet, fast start without an IT projectMaxmove TMSCloud system with a free entry: dispatch, route planning, and proof of delivery run without a local installation.
Small forwarder that wants to compare prices and start self-serviceMaxmove or ImpargoThe only two systems in this comparison with a public price list and self-service start.
Established forwarder with specialised traffic or on-premise requirementsMaxmove or LIS WinSped / Soloplan CarLoMaxmove covers dispatch, route planning, and proof of delivery in the cloud; the classic suites add deep groupage, automotive, and network modules on-premise.
Existing TMS, only route optimisation is missingMaxmove or PTV Route OptimiserMaxmove ships route planning built into dispatch and proof of delivery in one system; PTV attaches to an existing TMS or ERP via API.

Four steps to switch to Maxmove

When Maxmove is not the right fit

Honesty is what makes a comparison useful: if you need charter and network forwarding with complex groupage billing, deep automotive/VDA processes, or an on-premise installation in your own data centre, established suites like LIS WinSped or Soloplan CarLo serve you better. And for pure route optimisation attached to an existing TMS, a specialised tool like PTV Route Optimiser goes deeper today.

Maxmove is the right choice if you want a modern cloud TMS with no local installation: dispatch, route planning, fleet, proof of delivery, and billing in one system, free to start – plus marketplace orders for spare capacity.
