Overview
Road transport, fully in view
Meson TMS digitises road transport from order to proof of delivery. Orders arrive by API, Excel upload or manual entry, are matched to routes and grouped into optimised delivery plans, and are tracked in real time through the driver app – with freight billing and performance reporting built in.
- Pickups, line-haul and city deliveries planned in one place
- Real-time truck tracking, from loading to signed delivery
- Connects with WMS, ERP and in-truck GPS and temperature devices
Live trackingReal-time truck location keeps customers informed and every delivery on schedule.
Transport challenges, solved
Built for the realities of road transport
Meson TMS addresses the challenges transport teams face every day – from visibility and cost to changing customer needs.
1
Execution & monitoring
Every delivery is followed through loading, dispatch, transit and arrival, with alerts and photo records along the way.
2
Cost control
Optimised routes, combined LTL loads and accurate freight billing keep every trip cost-efficient.
3
Varied requirements
Order rules by consignee type, distance and order type handle direct deliveries, sorting-centre transfers and last-mile delivery.
4
Planning & KPIs
On-time delivery, damage-free rates, vehicle load and carrier performance are measured to support better planning.

How it works
From order to proof of delivery
A clear six-step workflow keeps every delivery on track.
1
Customer order
Orders are created by API, Excel upload or manual entry.
2
Order processing
Order rules turn each order into delivery orders – for example, customer site to sorting centre, then on to the final destination.
3
Route optimisation
Deliveries are matched to routes by keyword, map area, fixed route or region, and small LTL loads are combined into the nearest route.
4
Delivery plan
Delivery orders are grouped by route and truck type, sequenced, and split across trucks to fit load capacity.
5
Pickup & delivery
Drivers confirm pickup, departure and arrival in the driver app, with real-time location tracking throughout.
6
Proof of delivery
Photo capture and e-signature confirm each delivery, and the order status updates instantly.
