Why ERP and TMS Integration Is the Key to Peak Season Success

Why Connected Systems Matter Before the Holiday Rush

As shipping volume ramps up for the holidays, operations teams need their ERP and TMS systems to work together. U.S. delivery companies are expected to handle 2.3 billion packages this peak season, a 5% increase over last year.

ERP–TMS integration helps shippers transform disconnected workflows into connected processes that save time, reduce errors, and keep orders moving efficiently. By syncing order data, rates, and shipment updates in real time, teams spend less time re-entering information between systems and more time actually moving freight. The result is faster fulfillment, fewer exceptions, and a smoother experience for both operations and customers during peak season and beyond.

Where Efficiency Breaks Down

Every logistics team has experienced something similar to this:

• The order is entered in the ERP

• Then someone re-enters it into the TMS

• Then the warehouse updates the WMS once it finally ships

Each step adds time, increases the likelihood of human error, and keeps your staff chasing data instead of managing shipments.

Integrating systems eliminates duplicate data entry and synchronizes updates in real time. Order data flows automatically between systems, turning multi-hour processes into instant updates.

What ERP + WMS + TMS Integration Delivers

When systems operate in sync, teams collaborate instead of working in silos.

Integration helps teams:

• Save time with automated data flow from ERP to WMS to TMS

• Prevent costly mistakes with synchronized, accurate data

• Gain instant visibility into real-time shipment updates

• Ship smarter with automated carrier booking during high-volume seasons

How FreightPOP Fits In

FreightPOP was built to simplify shipping. That’s why our team carefully engineers every integration into the platform, so systems stay connected, real-time, and accurate.

We connect directly with leading ERP platforms like NetSuite, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics, as well as hundreds of carriers and fulfillment systems. These connections help teams:

• Generate labels and book shipments right from the ERP order screen

• Push tracking updates back into the ERP automatically

• Access real-time cost data for faster, more accurate billing

The result is fewer clicks, faster fulfillment, and better freight visibility.

Manual vs. Automated Shipments: How Much Time Could You Save?

A business that processes 50 shipments manually each day spends about 2.5 hours on label creation alone. With FreightPOP automation, that same work takes under 10 minutes, a 95% reduction in processing time that keeps shipments flowing even when volume spikes.

And label creation is only the beginning. FreightPOP eliminates time spent across rate shopping, carrier booking, and invoice audits, delivering faster workflows and real-time shipment visibility.

The Timing Couldn’t Be Better

The next few months will test every part of your logistics network. Integrating your ERP, WMS, and TMS with FreightPOP ensures your team moves faster, with fewer errors and complete visibility from order to delivery. Now is the time to connect your systems, automate your workflows, and build the foundation for a smoother, more scalable 2026.
