BRANDON, Fla. - s4story -- InMotion Global, Inc., the developer of AscendTMS, today announced that it has been included in Gartner's 2026 transportation management systems market context research, a companion research paper to Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems. In the report's midmarket section, Gartner identifies InMotion Global as a notable vendor leader, and describes AscendTMS as a cloud-based transportation management system serving SMB shippers, 3PL companies, carriers, fleets, and freight brokers.

This matters, especially as the global freight market embraces industry participants of all sizes and becomes fully digital.

The transportation software space is more crowded than ever, and buyers are under increasing pressure to choose platforms that deliver faster implementation, better economics, stronger automation, and real operational value. Gartner's inclusion of AscendTMS in their 2026 research paper reinforces what AscendTMS customers have known for years: AscendTMS is the most important and most compelling platform for the small and midsize freight economy.

Gartner's report describes AscendTMS as a unique SMB-focused cloud solution with a one of a kind multi-tier subscription model, including a free version, premium enterprise capabilities, and extended premium functionality. The research also highlights AscendTMS' active partnership strategy and its 2026 acquisition of LoadPilot TMS as part of the company's broader growth trajectory.

That combination is exactly what has made AscendTMS so disruptive.

While much of the TMS market continues to push high-cost, high-friction software into a market that increasingly demands speed, flexibility, and measurable ROI, AscendTMS

has built its leadership position by doing the opposite. It gives freight brokers, carriers, shippers, and 3PLs immediate access to a modern cloud TMS with a faster path to deployment, a lower barrier to entry, and a broader set of practical tools to help them reduce costs, move faster, and operate more profitably.

AscendTMS has also continued to expand its footprint through deep industry partnerships and acquisitions. Gartner specifically notes InMotion Global's relationships with companies such as C.H. Robinson, Comdata, DAT Solutions, FourKites, project44, TriumphPay, Trucker Tools, Uber Freight, and others, along with its acquisition of LoadPilot TMS in 2026.

Tim Higham, CEO of AscendTMS, said: "Being included again in Gartner's 2026 TMS market research is an important moment for AscendTMS and for the market we serve. For years, we have believed that small and midsize industry participants deserve better software than this industry has historically given them. They deserve powerful automation, real digital connectivity, fast onboarding, low friction, and pricing that actually makes sense. That is exactly what AscendTMS delivers."
