Sample data for illustration.
Your data already has the answers. Getting them out shouldn’t be the hard part.
Most carriers sit on years of TMS and telematics data, but every new question means a custom report, an export, or a wait on IT.
The usual way
- Write SQL or wait for someone who can
- Build and maintain Crystal Reports
- Export TMS and telematics data, then stitch it together in Excel
- Find out what happened days after it mattered
With GBS ASK-TMS
- Ask a question in plain English
- Get tables and summaries straight from your live TMS data
- See TMS and GEOTAB data joined in one answer
- Spot issues while there’s still time to act
One AI assistant. All your tools.
ASK-TMS is an MCP server, the open standard AI assistants use to connect to business systems. That means it works alongside other MCP tools, so one conversation can reach your TMS, your telematics and more.
You ask
From your desk or your phone, typed or spoken.
AI assistant + ASK-TMS MCP
Understands the question and works out where the answer lives.
Your TMS
Loads, bills, trips, costs, dispatch.
GEOTAB MCP
GPS, stops, fuel, idle, faults.
What teams ask it
Real questions from across the operation. Each one used to be a report request.
Freight margins
“What are our freight revenue margins by customer this month?”
Revenue, cost and margin from billing and costing data, with low-margin customers called out.
Fuel audits
“Compare GEOTAB fill-ups to fuel AP entries in the TMS.”
Litres in the tank matched against litres invoiced, with mismatches flagged for review.
Dispatch planning
“Are all of tomorrow’s loads on a truck?”
Unassigned loads surfaced before the day starts, so nothing slips through.
Lost freight
“Who handled trace 4471-2093, and where did the truck stop?”
Driver, truck and trailer from the TMS, then every GEOTAB stop over five minutes on a map.
Built for every desk in the office
No technical skills needed. If you can ask a coworker, you can ask ASK-TMS.
Just ask. Your fleet answers.
