TMW Systems Introduces Dispatch AdvantageTM
New Dispatch Module Increases Productivity with Powerful Graphical Format
Beachwood, Ohio – TMW Systems, the premier developer and integrator of enterprise management software for the trucking industry, has unveiled Dispatch Advantage, offering an intuitive, calendar-based dispatch and load planning module for its flagship TMWSuiteTM. Dispatch Advantage gives dispatchers clear visibility and access to every driver and load in the network in a scheduling view based on time and date.
Dispatch Advantage provides a graphical time and calendar view of daily work schedules by driver and by order. It includes all the information that dispatchers need to manage multiple drivers with time-sensitive loads, including driver histories and available orders, who’s entering or leaving a given region, load planning and driver dispatch communications – all in a simple, easy-to-use, color-coded format. The tool also features “drag-and-drop” capabilities that enable dispatchers to easily transfer loads from one asset to another without having to re-key the information.
“Dispatch Advantage is a customer-driven dispatch interface design that emulates the popular ‘visual load boards’ used in the past and simplifies the dispatch process,” said Tom Weisz, president and CEO of TMW Systems. “The tool allows dispatchers to see real-time data on every load in the system at a glance and be better equipped to immediately respond to customers’ changing requirements.”
“With Dispatch Advantage, we can see and plan what every driver is doing on one easy-to-read screen,” explained Matt Ziegler, Sales Manager for Oak Creek, Wis.-based Transport National. “The ability to just click on each driver’s name to receive a satellite reading from the screen is a time-saving tool, and with all available loads listed in the right column it’s tough to miss a pick up or delivery. Operations has been waiting a long time for a click-and-drag program that would work for our application, and now we've found it.”
