AutoPlan TMS is Jigcar's built-in Transport Management System. It's the planning tool used by planners to organise how vehicles get moved - building loads, planning routes, managing driver schedules, and optimising capacity.
Who uses the TMS?
The TMS is designed for planners and logistics managers who are responsible for deciding how vehicles get moved.
If you don't see the TMS in your sidebar navigation, your role may not have planning access. Check with your Jigcar admin.
