Transportial vs TANS
TANS Automatisering, based in Eindhoven and building transport software since 1985, sells TALIS (orders, rates, invoicing, CRM) in four packages and IMPACT, a PTV-based planning board that can also run standalone over an OTM API. Add-ons cover a delivery app, customer portal, integration platform, CAO hours registration and a WMS. With 250+ customers across 16 Benelux road-transport segments, it suits established carriers that want a long-standing local supplier. Transportial differs with published per-transaction pricing and a free tier, multimodal orders, multi-tenant white-label setups and eCMR in its own driver app.

How Transportial differs from TANS
Published pricing, free Starter tier
Transportial charges per transaction, from €0.50 down to €0.01 with volume, plus fees for users or vehicles beyond the free allowance, and the Starter tier is free. TANS does not publish prices; its packages are quoted on request.
Road, sea, air and rail in one model
Orders and trips in Transportial cover road, sea, air and rail, so forwarding and multimodal moves run on the same OTM5-based data model as road planning. TANS presents its software for Benelux road-transport segments.
Multi-tenant and white-label
One Transportial environment can host several organisations or customers under their own branding, each with separate data and permissions. TANS does not advertise multi-tenant or white-label setups.
eCMR in the driver app
OpenMove, Transportial’s driver app for iOS and Android, captures ePOD photos and signatures and supports eCMR. TANS’s Delivery App add-on covers photos, POD, scanning and signatures; eCMR is not mentioned on its add-ons page.
