Comprehensive Capabilities for Mid-Market & Large Fleets
How Exspeedite compares against legacy on-premise systems and lightweight SaaS tools across critical transportation suites.
| Enterprise Requirement | EXSPEEDITE Enterprise TMS | Legacy Enterprise (TMW/McLeod) | Lightweight Dispatch SaaS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multi-Company Ledgers & Centralized Dispatch | Native multi-entity isolation with consolidated dispatch visibility. Individual Tax IDs, AR/AP, and bank accounts. | Supported via separate database instances; requires logging out and switching company databases. | Not supported; single operating entity only. |
| Dynamic Tariffs & Fuel Surcharges | Multi-matrix tariffs with automated weekly DOE diesel fuel indexing, minimums, and accessorial formulas. | Supported, but requires manual weekly updates or complex batch configuration scripts. | Flat rate per mile only; cannot handle complex customer fuel peg tables. |
| Driver Settlements & Recurring Escrow | Mileage splits, stop-off, detention auto-capture, fuel advances, and recurring escrow deduction balances. | Supported, but setup requires deep consultant assistance and difficult custom reports. | Rudimentary driver pay; requires external spreadsheets for deductions and advances. |
| Live Carrier-Neutral ELD HOS Telematics | Direct REST webhooks to Samsara, Motive, and Geotab with pre-dispatch HOS duty status validation. | Requires expensive proprietary middleware or batch polling connectors. | Limited or single-vendor support only; lacks pre-dispatch HOS checking. |
| Shipper Visibility & Invoicing Portal (Pipeline) | Dedicated tenant customer portals with live load tracking, POD image downloads, and invoice payments. | Add-on web module with dated user interface and separate server hosting requirements. | Generic shared links; no branded tenant portal or document imaging vault. |
| Intermodal Drayage Demurrage (LFD) | TIR gate moves, Last Free Day countdowns, chassis split billing, and automated per diem alerts. | Available only through specialized add-on modules at substantial license cost. | Not supported; dry van and reefer point-to-point only. |
Frequently Asked Questions on Enterprise TMS Selection
What distinguishes an enterprise TMS from a basic dispatch tool?
