Testimonials

“I am so impressed with how TMW routes loads so quickly!  In the past, we had to manually route loads using an internet map program.  It would take at least an hour. Since using TMW, the amount of time spent working on building loads has been cut to minutes. I couldn’t be happier!!”

• Nikki E., Facility Sales Manager

“Having a system that exports and imports the routing of the stores has saved us a lot of time in processing orders. The fact that we don’t have to manually route then go into sage and add the load number and drop sequence to every single order is such a time saver. The system exports all the orders we need to route into TMW and then will import them back in saves us time and money by allowing us to work more efficiently. We can sometimes have over 50 stores to route . In the past, we would have to manually route then go into the system and add all the information. Now its just export, tmw routes, we name it, import it in and now the orders have a load number and a drop sequence. I have been here a long time and it has worked the best in my opinion.”
