Transfix licenses its brokerage TMS to NFI in a shift beyond pricing tech
Transfix has reached a new milestone by moving deeper into transportation management software, announcing that it is licensing its brokerage transportation management system (TMS) to NFI.
NFI is the same truckload carrier and supply chain provider that previously acquired Transfix’s brokerage business. Now, NFI is expanding its use of Transfix technology by adopting the Transfix TMS as its enterprise-wide freight brokerage platform.
The change matters because it shows Transfix broadening its role in the trucking technology space. The company has been known for brokerage pricing technology, but licensing a TMS for brokerage operations expands its scope into the day-to-day systems that run freight brokerage work.
For drivers, a brokerage’s TMS is part of the back-office engine that keeps loads organized and moving. A TMS is designed to help operations teams manage logistics-related data in one place, including details such as vehicle information, driver information, order specifics, and delivery details.
- What happened: Transfix licensed its brokerage TMS to NFI.
- Who’s using it: NFI is expanding usage to make Transfix TMS its enterprise-wide brokerage platform.
- Why it matters: Transfix is expanding beyond pricing technology into transportation management systems used to run brokerage operations.
The announcement centers on how NFI will use the platform across its brokerage operations and how Transfix is positioning its technology to support brokerage management, not just pricing.
