Certified = listed on the ERP vendor's official marketplace. Prebuilt = productised vendor-built connector. iPaaS = official integration-platform template. API = integration is possible via documented APIs but no productised connector was evidenced. A dash means we found no evidence — not that no integration exists.

A Transportation Management (TMS) add-on is third-party software that extends your ERP with dedicated transportation management (tms) capabilities. Carrier management, freight rating, shipping execution and tracking. Rather than building this functionality with custom development, you integrate a purpose-built product that connects to your ERP's data.
Native ERP modules often cover the basics but lack the depth specialist teams need. A dedicated transportation management (tms) add-on typically offers richer features, faster time-to-value, and ongoing vendor investment focused on that single problem — while still reading from and writing back to your ERP as the system of record.
Most established transportation management (tms) vendors offer certified integrations for the major ERP platforms (buyers commonly search for things like "TMS for SAP"). Always confirm support for your specific ERP product and version before shortlisting.
Start from your requirements, then check each vendor against integration depth, ERP-version support, data-sync model, reference customers on your ERP, pricing and implementation effort. Use the checklist on this page as a starting point.
