Transportial vs MercuryGate
MercuryGate is an enterprise, multimodal SaaS TMS for shippers, 3PLs, brokers and carriers, strong in rate, mode and carrier optimization, freight audit and payment, and multi-tenant 3PL setups. Körber Supply Chain Software acquired it in October 2024 and renamed itself Infios in March 2025; pricing is not public. Transportial is a lighter operational TMS for carriers and 3PLs that run their own trucks, with a driver app and per-transaction pricing that starts free.

Why teams switch from MercuryGate
Pay per transaction, start free
Transportial charges per transaction with volume discounts instead of per seat, and the Starter tier is free up to 20 shipments a month. Prices are published on the website, in US dollars.
Driver app with ePOD included
OpenMove, Transportial’s own driver app for iOS and Android, carries the trip plan to the driver and captures proof of delivery with photos and signatures that attach to the order instantly, with no extra app license.
Plan board with built-in optimization
Dispatchers plan on a drag-and-drop plan board, and Transportial’s VRP solver assigns shipments to trucks by capacity, time windows and vehicle type in seconds, then lets the planner adjust.
