1. Transportation Costing Group and TMW Systems Sign Agreement to
Streamline Customer Purchases
TCG and TMW extend partnership to benefit mutual customers
ROCKVILLE, Md. – September 10, 2013 -- Transportation Costing Group
(TCG), providers of Activity-Based Costing and Profitability Management Tools™
for truckload and less-than-truckload motor carriers, today announced it has
entered into an agreement with TMW Systems (TMW), the leading provider of
Transportation Management Software to North American for-hire and private
fleets, to bundle TMW TMS interfaces with their solutions making the purchase of
TCG solutions more convenient for TMW customers.
Under the new agreement, TCG is permitted to license the Innovative IES®
TCG
Interface, the TruckMate®
TCG Interface, and the TMWSuite®
TCG SmartLink
with the purchase of their Activity-Based Costing and Profitability Management
Tools.
Implementing the respective TCG integration module enables TMW customers to
transfer data seamlessly to TCG’s Cost Information System. The financial and
operational data is then used to develop actual cost and profitability information
on each and every load in a given period in the TCG software, including payroll,
toll and other inputs, with full reconciliation to the General Ledger.
“This new agreement enhances our longstanding partnership enabling TCG to
quickly and effectively implement its profitability management tools for truckload
and less-than-truckload carriers that run TMW Systems Transportation
Management Software,” stated David Wangler, President of TMW Systems. “Our
customers will find it much more convenient to benefit from TCG solutions
because a single purchase and license agreement can now cover both TCG
software and the specific TMW integration.”
“The two companies complement each other well and this agreement really
moves the partnership to a new level, streamlining the implementation process,”
said Ken Manning, president of TCG. “The motor carriers we serve will benefit
from the availability of a highly fact-based and accurate representation of costs
when they are pricing prospective freight. We continue to work closely with TMW
to better serve our mutual customers.”
