LTL shipping is used for small freight or when the items don't require the use of an entire trailer. Your freight is combined with other shipments to fill an entire trailer. It is ideal for shipments under 15,000 pounds.
Full truckload is used when shippers have enough items to fill an entire truck or they want their shipment in a trailer all by itself.

What Is Logistics Software?

Logistics software is technology designed to plan, execute, and monitor freight movement across a transportation network. At its core, effective logistics software functions as a Transportation Management System (TMS), providing a centralized system of record for shipments, carriers, rates, and performance.

Key functions include:

  • Shipment planning and execution

  • Carrier rate management

  • Track-and-trace visibility

  • Exception and performance management

  • Cost and spend analysis

Without integration and operational discipline, logistics software becomes another reporting tool instead of a control system.

Common Problems Logistics Software Is Meant to Solve

Many shippers adopt logistics software to fix operational pain, but not all systems address the root causes.

Frequent Challenges

  • Fragmented shipment visibility across carriers

  • Manual rate comparison and booking workflows

  • Inconsistent freight classification (LTL class and NMFC codes)

  • Limited insight into accessorial and detention costs

  • No feedback loop between planning and execution

These gaps increase labor costs, service failures, and freight spend.

Types of Logistics Software

There are several different types of software used in logistics applications. They aren’t limited to the following software programs, but these are the main types.

ERP: ERP stands for “enterprise resource planning”, This type of software may encompass other types of programs on this list. It’s a more comprehensive system that integrates functions across the organization to streamline operations and improve visibility.

Transportation Management System: Transportation management software helps you get freight from ‘Point A’ to ‘Point B’. It may encompass everything from planning loads to organizing quotes to tracking trucks.

Warehouse Management System: Warehouse management software typically covers most warehouse operations. These programs handle inventory and order processing, streamline processes, and reduce paperwork.

Routing Software: Routing software does exactly what it sounds like: routes. It helps plan the best, most efficient route to ship freight. This type of software is particularly helpful when a single load is to be split up and delivered to multiple destinations.

Forecasting Programs: Also referred to as planning software, this type of supply chain software helps anticipate and plan for demand by analyzing past trends and market data.

Choosing the Right Software

Here are some basic steps to help you find the right software to make your logistics operations easier, faster, and smarter.

  1. Learn about software programs. Research what they’re capable of and what they’ll need from your organization to succeed.
  2. Figure out what you really want from your logistics software. What are your goals? What do you need your software to do? Prioritize what’s most important in your organization.
  3. Begin researching specific software programs. Set up discovery calls with sales representatives. Figure out how the programs will integrate with your current software systems.
  4. Make a list of pros and cons for each potential candidate. Choose the software that fits your operations at scale, considering ease of implementation and user-friendliness.

Why Managed Logistics Matters Alongside Software

Technology alone does not manage freight. People do. BlueGrace pairs logistics software with experienced transportation professionals who: monitor execution daily, manage carrier relationships, resolve exceptions proactively, and continuously optimize network performance. This partnership model ensures the software delivers measurable results.

The value of logistics software is measured by what improves, not what is tracked. BlueGrace helps shippers use technology to reduce costs, improve service, and gain control over freight execution. Our software is designed for organizations that need structure, scalability, and accountability, including:

  • Mid-to-large shippers managing complex freight networks
  • Companies with mixed LTL and truckload volume
  • Organizations seeking better cost control and service consistency
  • Teams transitioning from manual or fragmented systems

Logistics Software FAQs

Logistics software is technology used to plan, execute, track, and analyze freight movement across a transportation network. At its core, logistics software often functions as a Transportation Management System (TMS), helping businesses manage shipments, compare carrier rates, monitor delivery performance, and control transportation costs from booking through final delivery.

Logistics software centralizes shipment data from multiple carriers and modes into a single platform. Instead of relying on emails or individual carrier portals, logistics teams gain real-time status updates, milestone tracking, and exception alerts. This visibility allows teams to identify delays early, communicate accurate ETAs, and reduce service disruptions.

Logistics software helps address common transportation challenges such as fragmented visibility, manual booking processes, inconsistent freight classification, and limited insight into accessorial charges. By standardizing workflows and consolidating data, it reduces labor costs, improves service reliability, and supports better cost control across LTL, truckload, and multimodal freight.

Effective logistics software supports cost optimization by comparing carrier rates, identifying inefficient lanes, tracking accessorial costs, and measuring carrier performance over time. When paired with disciplined execution, this data helps shippers reduce detention, avoid reclassification charges, and make informed mode and routing decisions that lower total transportation spend.

Yes. Modern logistics software is designed to manage multiple freight modes, including LTL, full truckload, intermodal, and international shipments. This includes support for LTL class and NMFC codes, truckload appointment scheduling, and multimodal milestone tracking within a single system.

BlueGrace Logistics provides logistics software through BlueShip®, its proprietary transportation management system. BlueShip® centralizes shipment execution, carrier data, tracking, and performance reporting, giving shippers a single source of truth for managing freight across their network.

Unlike standalone software providers, BlueGrace pairs its logistics software with managed logistics expertise. This means experienced transportation professionals actively support execution, carrier management, and exception resolution. The combination of technology and hands-on support ensures insights lead to action — not just reports.

Most modern logistics software, including BlueGrace’s solutions, is designed to integrate with ERP, order management, and financial systems. Integration ensures shipment data flows seamlessly between systems, reducing manual entry, improving data accuracy, and aligning transportation execution with broader supply chain and financial processes.

Logistics software identifies exceptions by monitoring shipment progress against planned milestones. When delays, missed pickups, or unexpected dwell time occur, the system generates alerts that allow teams to intervene early. This proactive approach helps reduce service failures, improve customer communication, and minimize downstream costs.

Companies should consider new logistics software when they experience limited visibility, rising freight costs, excessive manual work, or difficulty scaling operations. If transportation data is fragmented or execution issues are becoming routine, a more integrated solution — supported by a partner like BlueGrace — can provide the structure and accountability needed to regain control.
