TMW Systems has announced a strategic partnership with KSM Transport Advisors through a long-standing relationship with David Roush, newly appointed vice president for KSMTA.


Roush, which offers motor carrier business consulting services, has successfully employed IDSC Netwise from TMW Systems, in network balance and business optimization studies for a number of North American carriers prior to joining KSMTA. Roush will continue to use Netwise at KSMTA as he has in the past. In addition, he will use Netwise to evaluate and model mergers and acquisitions.

"KSMTA exclusively serves the full truckload carrier segment of the trucking industry, where the business value offered by our IDSC Netwise, TripAlert, MatchAdvice and ExpertFuel products is strongest," said Michael August, vice president and general manager of TMW Optimization.

Roush will be presenting a joint technology session with TMW personnel on freight network balance at the upcoming TMW Systems user conference and exhibition, known as TMW TransForum, this September in Dallas.

"Smart carriers know that a successful freight strategy is key to their profitability and I've found IDSC Netwise to offer one of the most mathematically sophisticated freight optimization models for creating and executing the right strategy," said Roush. "If carriers optimize their top line, they maximize their opportunity to make a profit."

The new relationship with KSMTA is part of the ongoing program at TMW Systems to partner with firms that offer complementary services and products.
