  • Warehouse management systems (WMS): These systems are used to track inventory levels, manage orders, and optimize the flow of goods in and out of warehouses.
  • Transportation management systems (TMS): These systems are used to plan and track shipments, manage carriers, and optimize routes.
  • Fleet management systems (FMS): These systems are used to track and monitor vehicles, manage fuel consumption, and improve driver safety.
