TMW Systems Partners with GEOCOMtms to Optimize Driver-Dispatch Mobile Communications

TMW Systems, the leading developer of enterprise solutions for the North American trucking industry, recently partnered with GEOCOMtms, a mobile communications software company, to successfully integrate TMW Total Mail™ dispatch software with GEOCOMtms A.MAZE Tracking mobile communications software.

TMW Total Mail™ is an award-winning, total communications software module for mobile communications that enables clients to automate communications between dispatchers and trucks. A.MAZE Tracking is a unique, two-way messaging software that supports multiple protocols. Combining the two applications provides clients with cutting-edge, streamlined communications and message acknowledgement that ensures efficient and reliable delivery operations.

“What makes the integration so much more beneficial to our clients is the increased communication efficiency between driver and dispatcher,“ said Brian Dernesch, A.MAZE Tracking product manager at GEOCOMtms. “Much of the information both drivers and dispatchers communicate with one another can now be sent electronically, without the need to type everything. They simply click an icon or select from a menu of prepared messages.

” John Parker, director of inside sales and third party relations at TMW Systems, agrees. “What we’ve done is take hundreds of potential text and form messages that mobile communication units send back and forth, and turned them into human-readable emails. Because so much of the work becomes automated, up to 90 percent of the keystrokes are eliminated for dispatch.”

Tom Weisz, founder and CEO of TMW Systems, Inc., is proud to welcome GEOCOMtms as a business partner. “GEOCOMtms has a strong technical staff with a clear customer focus,” said Weisz. “Combining applications will enhance our clients’ global communications by increasing dispatch efficiency, equipment utilization and bottom-line profitability.”

In business since 1994, GEOCOMtms, Inc. is headquartered in Quebec City, Quebec, with a satellite office in Atlanta, Georgia. GEOCOMtms provides clients with fleet-scheduling optimizations and territory design solutions for time- and cost-sensitive distribution and pickup and delivery businesses.

Founded in 1983, TMW Systems, Inc. is the largest developer and integrator of enterprise management software for the transportation industry. Based in Beachwood, Ohio, the company currently serves more than 500 trucking industry clients of all types and sizes. Its products help transportation and logistics companies leverage the technologies of their choice to easily collect, analyze and manage information for maximizing dispatch efficiency, and for delivering improved productivity and superior customer service.
