Leading Logistics Firms Choose TMW Systems for Competitive Advantage

BEACHWOOD, Ohio--Aug. 15, 2006--TMW Systems Inc., the largest provider of enterprise management software for the trucking industry, has recently added several logistics firms--including six third-party logistics providers (3PL) to its growing portfolio of 570 customers. TMW reports that at least 75 percent of its customers are engaged in some level of logistics or brokerage operations and that many of these organizations depend upon logistics operations for a significant portion of their revenues.

For years, both asset and non-asset based brokerage operations seeking to improve efficiencies have turned to TMW for software solutions to help them grow and successfully compete in the marketplace. As David Wangler, president and CEO of TMW, explains, "TMW is uniquely positioned to address the specialized needs of logistics firms. The capacity shortage is driving the increased demand for logistics services and our transportation management software has proven to help these firms meet the demands of their customers in today's environment."

Two of the newest logistics customers TMW has added in recent months include Transport Resources and Quality Logistics.

Transport Resources, a logistics and bulk equipment leasing company headquartered in Matawan, N.J., made its selection based on the comprehensiveness of the software solution and because of TMW's reputation as the leading provider of software in the trucking industry. "Our customers are very sophisticated. They expect a high level of visibility and real-time access to information," says Ralph Nappi, Transport Resources' president. "When we reviewed TMW's solution to service our logistics business, we knew there was no other choice."

For Boca Raton, Fla.-based Quality Logistics the reason for selecting TMW was clear, too. Quality Logistics' General Manager Donna DelRosso explains, "As we position our company for growth, we want to make it easy for our customers to do business with us. For that we need cutting-edge technology, something we found in TMW's products. We also chose TMW because of its position in the marketplace, the company's viability and the scalability TMW's products provide to support our growth."

TMW's solutions work so well for growth-oriented logistics firms because the products are highly configurable, scalable and flexible. In addition, product improvements are always "best-practice" focused, so logistics firms can be confident that as the product evolves the greatest impact will be in business effectiveness.

Wangler points out, "TMW will continue to lead the way in logistics software solutions, not only because we provide logistic companies a solid software solution foundation they can depend on, but also because they can rely on us to provide cutting-edge, proven solution enhancements that continually improve their bottom line."
