TMW renames primary software product

TMW Suite is the new name of the fleet management software system marketed by TMW Systems Inc. The package, previously known as PowerSuite, is the company's flagship software product.

“We made the name change after trying unsuccessfully for the past six years to obtain the trademark rights to the PowerSuite name,” said Tom Weisz, TMW president. “Most of our customers refer to our product as the TMW system, anyway.”

The firm also announced enhancements in Release 2002. Rate calculations have been fine-tuned. The section on driver background checks was tightened to provide more complete information. Commodity identification has been made more precise, providing greater detail for hazardous materials bills of lading.
