TMW Systems Unveils New Products, Enhancements at TransForum Conference

Trucking management software provider TMW Systems introduced a wide variety of new services and product enhancements at its TransForum User Conference that opened Sept. 14 in Orlando.

Tools for brokers, trucking operations, streamlined back-office procedures and freight management were among the software products presented at the three-day conference for TMW customers.

TMWSuite Brokerage software added rating support of truckload and less-than-truckload shipments that the company said improves customers’ ability to accurately rate shipments and offer more competitive price quotes.

TMW Operations’ new features include commodity-based loading guidance to maximize equipment utilization along with enhanced cross-dock capability to facilitate planning, execution and billing of "turnpike doubles" movements.



TMW’s Back Office program offered improved support for agent-based pay scenarios, which enables companies to grow business using an agent model and an automated, “no-touch” processing of billing and settlements to reduce the manual effort required to complete critical tasks.

In addition, TMW Suite added features for less-than-truckload consolidators who incorporate rail service, including rail reservation and drayage capabilities. Route optimization powered by Appian DirectRoute automatically routes daily deliveries and identifies optimal truck assignments for new pickups as they are called in during the day.

Other new products and enhancements include a redesigned TruckMate solution for managing cross-dock freight, improved driver scheduling and tariff rate import for TL2000, integration to mobile communications providers, fuel-card and fuel-purchase system providers for users of Innovative IES software, enhanced Appian software, a mobile tire analyzer application for TMW Asset Maintenance software, and new capabilities for TMW’s ExpertFuel optimization software.
