The Foodservice Industry's First Fully Integrated TMS and Inbound Analytics Platform
CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2026 / ArrowStream, Inc. ("ArrowStream"), the leading provider of cloud-based supply chain intelligence software for the foodservice industry, announced today, the launch of its innovative Transportation Management System (TMS). This new solution seamlessly integrates with ArrowStream's proven Crossbow inbound freight optimization platform, delivering end-to-end visibility, control, and actionable insights to modernize transportation and freight management for foodservice distributors.
Traditional TMS offerings often fall short for foodservice distributors because they are too generalized, being built to serve many industries. They suffer from data blind spots, rigid workflows, incomplete analytics, siloed tools, inadequate support, and do not address the nuances of foodservice inbound.
ArrowStream TMS addresses these issues by integrating with ArrowStream's Crossbow, which brings foodservice-specific inbound expertise. This integration offers smarter freight control, flexible customization, and AI-driven real-time insights. The outcome is a unified platform. It simplifies the technology stack and acts as a single source of truth. Users can then increase freight under management, ensure compliance, mitigate margin risks, and discover new savings opportunities.
"ArrowStream TMS represents a major step forward for foodservice logistics," said David Cox, President of ArrowStream. "By combining Crossbow's foodservice-focused inbound intelligence with TMS execution, customers gain the unprecedented visibility and control needed to measure performance across the lifecycle of a PO."
Key capabilities of ArrowStream Crossbow and TMS include:
Analytics: Item- and PO-level actionable dashboards to increase cases under management, measure compliance to plans, and quantify savings.
Automated Load Planning: Preplanned route guides, carrier rate records and contract storage for consistent execution.
Load Execution: Automated carrier/fleet assignment, systemic tendering, Carrier EDI and a carrier portal.
Freight Tracking: Real-time track-and-trace, pickup/delivery scheduling and document collection.
Payments & Accounting: Invoice audit, matched pay-invoicing, rebate handling and integrations with AR/AP systems, including automated PO to invoice matching, detailed billing setups, and seamless payment integrations.

Together, ArrowStream's Crossbow and TMS provides logistics managers with complete end to end functionality from analytics to execution and reporting.
