BEACHWOOD, Ohio — Transportation software provider TMW Systems Inc. is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month. Since 1983, TMW has grown from a single customer to more than 1,600, the company said. Today, TMW’s carriers haul over a billion tons of freight every year. Additionally, more than half of the Transport Topics Top 100 For-Hire Carriers utilize one or more TMW solutions.

According to David Wangler, TMW’s president and CEO, this success is linked directly to the relationships between the company and its customers.

“Many of our customers have been with us for years because we have built a culture based upon understanding their needs and delivering practical solutions that deliver results,” he said. “Going forward our mission remains clear — providing customer-driven solutions that help companies take better advantage of market opportunities, improve asset productivity and gain a better return on information.”

TMW’s focus on providing innovative solutions has led TMW to continually expand its offerings from the initial dispatch software of 25 years ago to a wide range of solutions driven by market need, the company said. Today’s offerings include the enterprise-wide TMWSuite, TL2000 and TruckMate management solutions, that leading fleets rely upon to run their businesses as well as focused products like IDSC ExpertFuel, MatchAdvice and TMT Asset Maintenance.

By combining his passion for trucking and technology, founder and now chairman Tom Weisz, created TMW Systems in 1983 with a vision of leveraging networks of personal computers to empower planners, dispatchers and customer service representatives with real-time information.

“I recall my dream of wanting to make an honest contribution back in 1983 and I still feel that way today,” said Weisz. “I am proud to say that what we are doing today at TMW has far exceeded my expectations of 25 years ago. From day one, we committed ourselves to our customers and have provided them with the solutions that best met their needs. Our products and services have continued to evolve but our commitment to customer service has been unswerving. I am especially proud of the many long term relationships, now spanning decades, that we continue to enjoy with so many customers and employees”
