  • TMW Systems Certifies ALK Technologies’ Truck Routing Software

    September 30, 2008 Alex Woodie

    Trucking outfits that rely on i OS and Windows fleet management software from TMW Systems can continue to use ALK Technologies‘ routing software to ensure that trucks take the quickest and most efficient route–and avoid low bridge clearances and expensive toll roads along the way.

    Last week, TMW announced it has certified the latest releases of ALK Technologies’ two primary products, PC*MILER and PC*MILER|Tolls, for use with its Windows-based TMWSuite and TruckMate products and its i OS-based TL2000 system.

    PC*MILER 22–the 22nd update of the software from the Princeton, New Jersey, software company–provides a substantial map data update of truck restrictions and helps companies and drivers avoid low bridge clearances, load limits, one-way roads, turn restrictions, and other obstacles faced by truckers every day. The company says it made significant improvements across its U.S. and Canadian maps, including an 84 percent increase in truck restricted roadways and a 159 percent increase in the number of truck restrictions and allowances.

    Similarly, PC*MILER|Tolls 22 has been enhanced with the latest information concerning truck toll costs, whether by weight or by axle, for the nations’ highways. Companies that use the solution with TMW software have a simpler way to calculate lane analysis, TMW says.

    David Wangler, president and CEO of Beachwood, Ohio-based TMW Systems, says ALK’s products are a good fit for TMW customers. “The combined result is a significant reduction in empty miles and increase in revenue per mile, a strong value proposition in this challenging environment with record fuel prices,” he says.

    In other news, TMW held its annual TransForum 2008 user conference last week in Orlando, Florida. The company reports attendance at 1,300 people from more than 430 customers and 46 exhibitors across North America and Europe.

    When it comes to consuming web APIs on your IBM i, your options often boil down to one of two things:

    First, you end up having to rely on a variety of open source and non-RPG solutions. This adds developer complexity, taking away time that could have been better spent invested in other projects. Of course, open source software is free, but generally comes at the cost of no professional support, which adds an element of risk in your production environment. RXS is completely professionally supported, and is complemented by a staff of trained IBM i developers who can address your nuanced development challenges, head on.

    Second, if you choose not to pursue an open-source solution, you’re often left having to shake up your current program architecture with proprietary software, external dependencies, and partial RPG implementations – many of which are sub-par compared to RPG-XML Suite’s wide range of features. RXS aims to simplify the efforts of developers with tools like code generators, useful commands, and subprocedures written in 100% RPG – no Java. Because they are entirely RPG, the RXS subprocedures are easy to add to new or existing ILE programs and architecture, helping to cut your development time. RPG-XML Suite offers powerful capabilities in an accessible, easy-to-implement format.

    With RPG-XML Suite, you can accomplish a variety of complex tasks, such as:

    • Calling REST and SOAP web services from your IBM i
    • Offering APIs from your IBM i
    • Creating JSON & XML
    • Parsing JSON & XML
    • Text manipulation, Base64 encoding/decoding, CCSID handling, hashing and encryption functions, and more.

    To try RXS for yourself, we recommend a free proof of concept, which not only gives you access to all of RPG-XML Suite’s subprocedures and utilities but also includes a tailor-made software demonstration that can be used as a starting point for your future API implementations.

    For a free proof of concept, contact us at sales@krengeltech.com, or visit our website for more information.
