The new cloud-based solutions are available now on a subscription basis to businesses using select TMW transportation management software and will be available to new customers in the coming months. Previously available only as on-premise solutions, TMW Data Warehouse and Data Warehouse Explorer provide users with unsurpassed speed and flexibility in accessing operational data and answering critical questions regarding virtually any area of their businesses. The solutions also enable users to blend and analyze data from multiple areas – operations, maintenance, finance, mobile communications and more – to uncover actionable intelligence. TMW’s Visual Analytics allows for drag-and-drop creation of powerful visuals and dashboards as well as preconfigured dashboard displays for instant visibility and enhanced understanding of the many interdependent factors driving business performance. Users can then easily drill down to isolate specific issues and identify appropriate corrective actions. By offering these powerful solutions via the cloud, TMW is providing easy, practical access to world-class business intelligence to transportation businesses of all types and sizes, according to TMW Systems President David W. Wangler. “Big Data can help virtually any transportation business identify and eliminate deeply hidden operational constraints and other issues,” he said. “Our new and growing portfolio of SaaS products brings these capabilities to a much larger audience of transportation businesses, including those that might not have the internal IT resources or budget to support an on-premise model.” The company’s cloud-based solutions eliminate the need for additional on-premise hardware, internal support and data security resources. Access to the solutions can be available to multiple authorized users within a given business.
