Maxmove TMS compared

How the TMS stacks up against the two usual ways of working: spreadsheets, phone and paper – and legacy forwarding software.

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 that's live in days instead of months: dispatch, route planning, fleet, proof of delivery, and billing in one system, free to start – and, uniquely in this comparison, with marketplace orders for your spare capacity.
