Product Upgrades Unveiled at TMW Forum [Transport Topics](Transport Topics Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Several product enhancements were announced last week during TMW Systems' TransForum 2011, including agreements between TMW and Qualcomm Inc., PeopleNet Communications Corp. and ProMiles Software Development Corp. One of the agreements announced was the integration of TMW Innovative Enterprise Transportation software with Qualcomm Inc.'s hours-of-service products. The integration allows the synchronizing between trucks and the home office of HOS data required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The enhancement will be available when TMWs Innovative software version 9.3 is released in November. TMW also revealed an agreement with ProMiles Software Development Corp. to offer an online fuel tax reporting and automation service called TMW Fuel Tax Online. The new service, powered by ProMiles, is now available to TMW software users required to file International Fuel Tax Agreement quarterly tax reports for their fleet operations. PeopleNet said it also is working with TMW on several projects that will automate workflows and improve reporting for carriers. The projects include incorporating TMW TruckMate with PeopleNet's enhanced automated workflow to improve billing, integrating TMWs TMT Fleet Maintenance with PeopleNet's eDVIR (electronic driver vehicle inspection report) and vehicle management products. The two companies also are working on linking TMWs IDSC MatchAdvice with PeopleNet's eDriver Logs to enhance estimated time-of-arrival calculations for use in load matching and allowing HOS data from electronic logs to be updated and calculated. The companies said that the inclusion of PeopleNet's vehicle management data into TMWs data warehouse reporting system expands their users' range of business and maintenance analytics. - Transport Topics (c) 2011 Transport Topics Publishing Group (TTPG) |
