Trucking enterprise management software provider TMW Systems Inc., Beachwood, Ohio, has introduced a business performance watchdog application.

The product TMW calls The Dawg is a business activity monitoring tool that scans every transaction and automatically flags exceptions so carriers can take immediate corrective action.
According to the company, The Dawg works with ResultsNow by TMW, a web-based performance monitoring application that constantly measures and reports the carrier’s performance against key performance indicators. For example, The Dawg can send a real-time alert if accumulated empty miles for a dispatched vehicle will exceed 400 miles. This affords time to question the decision and the opportunity to revise the load plan if necessary.
“While it’s nearly impossible to spot every business exception, The Dawg acts as a safety net that catches human errors before they lead to unnecessary expenses,” said Tom Weisz, president and CEO of TMW Systems.
“Because the combination of ResultsNow and The Dawg helps detect problems before they escalate, these tools have enabled our company to achieve significant dollar savings, improve productivity and increase revenue opportunities,” said John Hazenfield, senior vice president/CIO for Distribution Technologies, a Cleveland-based provider of dedicated contract carriage, common carriage, logistics services and returnable container management for liquid bulk commodities.
The Dawg is equipped with alerts for more than 25 performance criteria and can be customized to track other metrics.
