EXTOL International Releases Enhanced Version of Enterprise Adapter for TMW Systems Software

POTTSVILLE, Pa., Nov. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --  EXTOL International, a leading provider of business integration software and services, today released the latest version of its Enterprise Adapter for TMW Systems' Innovative IES transportation software. In March 2011, EXTOL announced its partnership with TMW Systems, a leading supplier of enterprise software solutions for the transportation sector, to create the original TMW-IES Adapter.

The enhancements implemented in TMW-IES v1.2 will provide users with greater visibility and more rapid interaction throughout the supply chain by enabling customers to:

• Mark their final stops as complete unloads on inbound Motor Carrier Load Tenders
• Schedule a single program to initiate all inbound activities defined within a communications table
• Specify a delay period between inbound communications, eliminating the need to schedule multiple jobs

EXTOL's Enterprise Adapters (EEA) are designed to provide runtime and design-time interface components that integrate commercial application systems with related trading partners, internal applications and enterprise data. By additionally leveraging EXTOL's EDI Integrator for i, the Enterprise Adapter provides Innovative IES users with advanced business process and transaction integration capabilities for completing load tender-to-delivery, order-to-cash and demand-driven replenishment.

"When we first partnered with TMW Systems, we set out to work together to improve the overall integration experience for Innovative IES and EXTOL customers through more streamlined EDI processes," said Mark Denchy, director of product management at EXTOL. "Based on the feedback we've received this year, we now feel we've strengthened the TMW-IES adapter to provide our customers with the most thorough range of tools necessary to make smarter decisions while enabling a smoother transition for new customers."

TMW's Innovative IES is a fully integrated, IBM i trucking solution that provides real-time information across all levels of a company in an easy-to-manage, accessible and meaningful manner. The software is geared to aid transportation decision-makers with planning, cost-reduction and customer service.
