Transfix’s big move as it licenses its brokerage TMS to NFI
Transfix says it has reached a milestone by licensing its transportation management system (TMS) built for freight brokerages. The first customer for that licensed platform is NFI—the same truckload carrier and supply chain provider that acquired Transfix’s brokerage business.
As part of the launch, NFI is expanding its use of Transfix technology by adopting the Transfix TMS as its enterprise-wide freight brokerage platform. In other words, NFI is standardizing its brokerage operation around Transfix’s system rather than using it in a limited or standalone way.
For drivers, the headline is less about software and more about how loads get handled behind the scenes. A brokerage TMS is the system used to organize day-to-day freight work—managing orders, tracking shipment details, and keeping operational data in one place. In general terms, that can include details tied to equipment, drivers, orders, and deliveries.
The development also marks a shift in what Transfix is putting into the market. The company has been known for brokerage pricing technology, and this move into transportation management expands its scope from pricing into core brokerage operations.
- What happened: Transfix licensed its brokerage TMS, and NFI signed on to use it.
- Who it involves: NFI, the company that acquired Transfix’s brokerage business, is also now the licensing customer.
- Why it matters: NFI is moving to use the Transfix TMS across its brokerage operation, and Transfix is widening its focus beyond pricing tools into a broader TMS platform.
