# About OpenTMS

OpenTMS – a transport and freight-forwarding management system for carriers and forwarders.

OpenTMS is a transport management system (TMS) that runs your own fleet and your forwarding in one place. Orders, trips, carriers, drivers and documents share one data model, so dispatchers stop copying the same data between spreadsheets, emails and the accounting program.

## Who it is for

* **Forwarders** – take the client's order, hand it to a carrier, follow the trip and collect the documents.
* **Carriers with their own trucks** – plan trucks and drivers on the calendar; drivers mark their steps on the phone.
* **Mixed companies** – the same order can travel partly on your own trucks and partly with a carrier.

## Three products, one system

{% hint style="info" %}
**OpenTMS** – transport management: orders, trips, partners, drivers, collecting documents.

**Noium** – all accounting and document processing: document recognition, invoices and VAT, Rivilė, AGNUM, payments and debt collection.

**Oaura** – AI agents, voice agents and the knowledge base.
{% endhint %}

OpenTMS does no accounting: it collects the documents, hands them to Noium and shows what Noium sends back. The Noium integration is part of Noium. See [Noium](/opentms/noium/accounting.md).
