Kuebix, a Trimble Company

What Kuebix, a Trimble Company does

Kuebix is a SaaS-based Transportation Management System (TMS) targeting mid-market and large enterprise shippers with multi-modal freight management capabilities spanning planning, shipment execution, tracking and visibility, and BI and analytics. The platform is delivered as a multi-tenant web application with separate shipper and partner login portals, and is positioned as a full-featured TMS alternative to enterprise TMS suites, offering carrier rate retrieval, direct carrier communication, and freight audit and invoicing inside the product. Kuebix is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FreightWise LLC, a privately held transportation technology and managed transportation services company managing over $1 billion in annual freight under management, and is sold as 'Kuebix by FreightWise TMS' alongside the FreightWise Managed Transportation service and the OnKue by Kuebix sub-brand.

Kuebix generates revenue through recurring SaaS subscriptions on a quote-based pricing model that requires direct sales contact, with a sales-led go-to-market motion centered on a 'Book a Demo' call-to-action and a separate partner program for channel distribution. Its primary differentiators are access to FreightWise's pre-negotiated carrier contracts, 15 years of operating history, and 2025 Gartner Midmarket Context: Magic Quadrant recognition for Transportation Management Systems. The company is small (11-50 employees), headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee, with operating geography concentrated in North America.

Broad incumbents

• SAP Transportation Management: Enterprise TMS module within SAP's ERP/SCM suite; relevant as the upper-bound incumbent Kuebix customers may outgrow into.
• Descartes Systems Group: Logistics technology incumbent offering TMS, routing, customs, and visibility as part of a broad portfolio; overlaps with Kuebix in midmarket shipper TMS but covers a much wider footprint.
• Blue Yonder (formerly JDA): Large supply chain management suite including transportation management; competes with Kuebix for larger midmarket and enterprise deals from above.
• Manhattan Associates: Supply chain and inventory suite with TMS capabilities that often gets bundled with WMS; relevant as a broader incumbent alternative Kuebix competes against in mid-market.
• Oracle Transportation Management: Enterprise-grade TMS from a global suite vendor; over-serves the mid-market but establishes the high-end benchmark Kuebix's larger customers compare against.

Direct peers

• MercuryGate International: Direct midmarket/enterprise shipper TMS competitor. MercuryGate offers multi-modal transportation management, rate engine, and carrier procurement features comparable to Kuebix TMS.
• Turvo: Cloud-native TMS targeting shippers and 3PLs with collaborative planning, execution, and visibility; competes head-on for Kuebix's mid-market shipper accounts.
• 3PL Central (by Playbook): TMS for SMB/midmarket shippers and 3PLs with rating, routing, billing, and EDI; the closest competitor on midmarket price band and feature scope.

Emerging players

• FourKites: Supply chain visibility and dynamic appointment scheduling platform increasingly bundling TMS-adjacent capabilities; competes with Kuebix's tracking/visibility module.
• project44: Multi-modal visibility and carrier network platform expanding into execution; an emerging alternative to Kuebix's tracking/visibility and execution layers.
