TMW Systems, Cleveland, Ohio, announced solid growth during the first half of 2008.


The company added 90 new North American clients to its base of more than 1,700 worldwide transportation and logistics providers, while also enjoying strong sales growth in the form of software upgrades and new services to existing clients. TMW hired 41 new employees during the same period.

According to David W. Wangler, TMW's president and CEO, all product families enjoyed solid growth, led by the company's fuel optimization software, which grew more than 52 percent compared to the same period in 2007. TMW's newest customers, he said, are often larger companies who are often sophisticated technology buyers.

The company's lines of business include TMW Enterprise Transportation Software, TMW Asset Maintenance Software and TMW Optimization Software. In addition to TMWSuite, the company's TruckMate, TL2000, TMT Fleet Maintenance and TMW Optimization products round out the portfolio.

Company leaders also project continued brisk license sales for IDSC ExpertFuel throughout the remainder of the fiscal year and well into 2009. The fuel-purchase-optimization software, designed for fleets of 50-plus, complements and powers up dispatch and mobile communication systems with best-in-class fuel pricing and routing data. IDSC ExpertFuel, along with IDSC TripAlert, IDSC MatchAdvice and IDSC Netwise, became part of the TMW Systems group of offerings when the company acquired Richardson, Texas-based Integrated Decision Support Corporation in late 2007.
