Why Transportial

## Why teams switch from Tailwind TMS

### 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.

### Automations and customer tracking

Event-driven message automations send status updates and alerts to customers, and each shipment gets a secure tracking link that works without a login, cutting "where is my truck?" calls.

### 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.
