Compare Leading Freight and Transport Management Systems (FMS & TMS)

VENDOR FEATURE OVERVIEW


Not all Freight and Transport Management Systems are created equal.

The below tables are intended as a feature comparison guide between Cario and other leading FMS/TMS vendors. Note the very different features between a Freight Management System and Transport Management System. Cario, right now, is the only vendor that offers both within the same platform - meaning you can manage third party freight alongside your own fleet, all within a beautifully designed, intuitive cloud-based application.

A short note too that data collated reflects our understanding of the products available as of February 2025. Individual experiences may vary, and we encourage you to conduct your own research and evaluations before making any decisions. The comparisons are intended for informational purposes only.
