Summitt Trucking and TMW Systems: A Growing Partnership

 

Summitt Trucking, headquartered outside of Louisville, Kentucky, uses TMW Systems’ enterprise management software to operate at peak efficiency, which has helped put them in a position to capitalize on expansive growth. Summitt specializes in dry van and refrigerated, and currently operates 240 trucks and 500 trailers. Established in 2003, they have grown extensively and have plans to continue to add more assets to their business. Summitt serves the 48 contiguous states, with over 300 total employees, 37 of which are in non-driving positions.

The Challenge

When David Summitt formed his company, he had ambitious growth plans. His immediate need at start-up was to find a software partner that could provide flexibility, quick access to information, and keep pace with his accelerated growth. It was paramount that the software he chose fit the way he ran his business. After consideration of several companies, Summitt decided that TMW Systems’ software was the most versatile and scaleable, and would allow him to run his company proactively.

The Solution

Summitt Trucking currently uses TMWSuite™ base system, as well as a multitude of enhancement modules and interfaces that have helped them greatly increase the efficiency of their operation. With TMW, Summitt feels that they have access to the information they need on a timely, sometimes even real-time, basis. This knowledge allows them to dissect inefficiencies in day-to-day operations, and immediately correct them. Summitt contributes the success of their partnership with TMW in part to TMW being on the cutting edge of product offerings and enhancements, and also to the fact that they are there to support their products 100%.

The Result

As a direct result of TMWSuite’s efficiency, since 2003, Summitt has been able to lower its payroll costs by reducing its personnel by five in the areas of finance, accounting and dispatch. In that same time period, Summitt has also been able to add 100 trucks without increasing the number of employees to support the growth. Summitt Trucking’s operational goals are to be a completely integrated operation, and ultimately paperless. With the help of TMWSuite™ and TMW’s support services, these efficiencies translate into bottom-line profits, poising Summitt to meet their growth plans.
