Beachwood, OH - TMW Systems, Inc., the largest provider of enterprise management software to the transportation industry in North America, welcomes Hirschbach Motor Lines, Inc. as a new customer of the Expert Fuel® and Trip Alert® optimization software solutions from recently acquired Integrated Decision Support Corporation (IDSC). TMW Systems, Inc. now offers the full IDSC product line of optimization software engineered exclusively for the truckload carrier. Hirschbach Motor Lines, Inc. operates over 400 power units specializing in delivering refrigerated service to/from the upper Midwest to/from the Southeast, Southwest and West Coast areas.
"We plan to utilize these solutions to significantly decrease fuel costs as well as maximize efficiency, driver satisfaction, security and customer service," said Tom Grojean, Owner of Hirschbach Motor Lines, Inc.
IDSC Expert Fuel is proven to save carriers significantly in fuel costs- whether fuel prices are high or low-by taking advantage of the variation in fuel prices from location to location, by providing drivers with an optimized fuel plan, and by substantially minimizing out-of-route miles with an optimized route plan. IDSC Trip Alert not only provides total visibility of assets and best-in-class exception and event management without impacting profit potential, it also identifies candidates for in-transit swaps to maximize driver and equipment utilization, prevent service failures, and increase driver time at home.
"The Expert Fuel and Trip Alert solutions provide customers with power-packed capabilities for control over their fuel programs and their total asset base," said Dave Harris, VP of Sales for TMW's IDSC product lines. "This translates into significant cost savings and operational efficiency improvements."
