Unified Freight Tools
If your current TMS tool is getting expensive, the safest move isn’t always a full migration on day one. A better approach is phased modernization: replace the most expensive, most manual parts of the stack first, then expand once the foundation is stable.
That’s exactly how VelocityOS.ai is designed to work: a tech + AI-driven digital freight platform that modernizes the commercial layer (rates → quotes → governance) first, so you reduce tool sprawl, manual work, and total operating cost without operational downtime.
Why legacy TMS costs keep rising (even when “it works”)
When teams complain about TMS pricing, it’s usually total cost of ownership showing up in multiple places:
- Module creep (core + add-ons for rating/quoting, portals, reporting, integrations)
- Integration maintenance (constant fixes to keep CRM, carrier data, portals, finance aligned)
- Manual quoting overhead (rate hunting, copy/paste charges, inconsistent accessorial naming)
- Rework + margin leakage (missed surcharges, inconsistent markups, stale validity rules)
Velocity’s product model is built around a connected workflow; Rates → Quotes → Portal → Operations, so you can modernize the right layer first and avoid replacing everything at once.
Phase 1 — Centralize Rates and Quote Faster (Fastest ROI)
Start where savings show up immediately: eliminate spreadsheet pricing, reduce rework, and standardize quoting.
- Consolidate pricing inputs with the rate management
- Standardize outputs with the quote management
- Reduce manual cleanup using AI-backed normalization

Modernize without downtime: start with the commercial layer (rates + quotes + pricing governance), then expand into CRM/TMS handoffs and customer portal workflows.

FAQs
Yes. Many teams start with quoting + pricing governance first, then expand as they de-risk the transition.
Often, yes because the main cost isn’t whether it works; it’s the operational overhead, manual effort, and tool sprawl required to keep it working at scale.
By standardizing charges, applying pricing rules automatically, and reducing quote inconsistency, so you don’t rely on memory and manual checks to stay profitable.
