Sales professionals are constantly looking for ways to gain a competitive edge. At Customodal, we understand that success in 3PL sales is driven by having the right tools and technology at your fingertips. That's why our cutting-edge Transportation Management System (TMS) is designed not just for operational efficiency but also to empower our sales team. Whether you're a seasoned logistics sales expert or a tech-savvy newcomer, Customodal’s TMS provides the support you need to excel in this fast-paced industry.

What is a TMS, and Why Does It Matter for Sales?

A Transportation Management System (TMS) is often seen as a tool for managing shipments, optimizing routes, and reducing transportation costs. But at Customodal, our TMS is much more than that—it’s a strategic asset that empowers sales professionals to make data-driven decisions, streamline customer interactions, and close deals more efficiently. By leveraging technology, sales reps can deliver better service, differentiate themselves in the marketplace, and ultimately drive more revenue.

1. Streamlined Access to Real-Time Data

In logistics sales, timing is everything. Customodal’s TMS provides sales teams with real-time access to shipment data, freight costs, and delivery timelines. This transparency allows sales professionals to respond quickly to client inquiries, offer competitive quotes, and adjust to market changes as they happen. Armed with up-to-date information, they can provide more accurate forecasts and proactive communication, which builds trust with clients.

2. Enhanced Customer Relationship Management

Building strong relationships is key to success in 3PL sales, and Customodal’s TMS integrates seamlessly with CRM systems to enhance customer interactions. Sales representatives can access detailed client histories, shipment preferences, and past performance metrics, enabling them to tailor solutions to each customer’s specific needs. This personalized approach not only increases customer satisfaction but also positions Customodal as a trusted partner in logistics.

3. Data-Driven Decision-Making

Sales success hinges on making informed decisions quickly. With the analytics capabilities of Customodal’s TMS, sales teams can identify trends, spot opportunities, and optimize their sales strategies. The system’s powerful reporting features allow sales professionals to track key performance indicators (KPIs) like sales conversion rates, customer acquisition costs, and shipment profitability. This data-driven approach ensures that every sales effort is focused on high-impact opportunities.

4. Optimized Quoting and Pricing

One of the biggest challenges in logistics sales is providing competitive yet profitable quotes. Customodal’s TMS takes the guesswork out of pricing by automating freight rate calculations, factoring in real-time market conditions, and optimizing carrier selections. This efficiency allows sales professionals to generate accurate quotes faster, helping them win more business while maintaining margins.

5. Boosted Efficiency and Productivity

Sales professionals thrive when they can focus on what they do best—selling. By automating routine tasks like data entry, order tracking, and reporting, Customodal’s TMS frees up valuable time for sales teams to concentrate on building relationships and closing deals. This productivity boost not only helps salespeople achieve their targets but also contributes to overall company growth.

6. Scalability for Growing Sales Teams

As Customodal continues to grow, our TMS is designed to scale alongside our sales team’s needs. Whether you’re a solo sales rep or part of a larger team, the platform can adapt to handle increasing volumes of data, client accounts, and sales opportunities. This scalability ensures that sales professionals can maintain high levels of service, even as their client base expands.
