MANAGED LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS
Proven Strategy for Complex Supply Chains
OPTIMIZE YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN DATA
Managed transportation is often the best fit for companies looking for more than just shipment coordination. If you need a partner to help design and execute a logistics strategy, ensure regulatory compliance, and deliver valuable insights for growth, managed transportation is the clear choice. By leveraging a managed transportation provider like TLI, shippers get access to a dedicated team of experts who handle all aspects of transportation, from everyday shipment tracking to strategic data analysis.
What is Managed Transportation vs. Freight Brokerage?
Understanding the difference between managed transportation and freight brokerage is key to choosing the right solution for your shipping needs. TLI offers these solutions to shippers, and their service offerings are uniquely suited to the needs of the shipper. If you need scalable, easy solutions then our freight brokerage product offering will be a great fit, while if you need customized, flexible services unique to your enterprise then managed transportation would be the better fit. Both services support the movement of goods, but they differ in scope, control, and the level of support they provide. Managed transportation goes beyond simply arranging shipments, offering full-spectrum management of your transportation operations, while freight brokerage primarily focuses on connecting shippers with carriers for individual shipments.

Freight Brokerage: A Focused Approach to Shipment Matching
Freight brokerage services connect shippers with carriers to move freight from one point to another. A transportation brokerage acts as an intermediary, working to find the most suitable carrier for a given shipment, whether it’s a dry van, reefer, or flatbed load. Brokers maintain networks of motor carriers to ensure flexibility, giving shippers access to a variety of options without committing to long-term partnerships.
Freight brokers are ideal for shippers with straightforward, simple shipping needs or for those who require a quick solution for a specific load. By finding competitive rates and suitable carriers for each job, brokers can help optimize costs while managing individual shipments. However, brokerage services usually provide less oversight on long-term logistics planning or data-driven analysis for continuous process improvement.
Managed Transportation: Comprehensive Support for Long-Term Scalable Success
Managed transportation goes well beyond the transactional services of a freight broker. Instead of simply booking shipments, managed transportation providers take on the strategic oversight of your entire supply chain’s transportation needs. This means handling everything from carrier procurement and route optimization and mode optimization to real-time shipment tracking, data analytics, and ongoing performance monitoring.
Managed transportation is an ideal solution for companies with complex or high-volume shipping requirements. Providers like Translogistics, Inc. (TLI) bring expertise and resources to manage transportation planning, contract negotiation, and cost management on a continuous basis. With access to TLI’s proprietary TMS (Transportation Management System), clients benefit from enhanced visibility and control over every shipment, including tools for tracking, invoice audits, and cargo claims mitigation. This level of managed transport support offers long-term shipping reliability and insight, helping shippers achieve sustained cost savings and operational efficiency.
