Xata Turnpike Announces Integration With TMWSuite to Drive Efficiency, Productivity and Convenience


MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xata Corporation
(Nasdaq:XATA), the leader in fleet optimization software, announces its
award-winning Xata Turnpike fleet management software is now integrated
with TMWSuite(R) transportation management software from TMW Systems,
driving efficiency, productivity and convenience for both drivers and
fleet managers by automating key functions throughout the load planning
and back-end processes. The Xata Turnpike integration with TMWSuite
provides a cost-effective solution that uniquely combines both driver
and fleet management tools in one. The integration provides fleets all
the functions and services for the end-to-end transportation process,
and is scalable for a wide range of customers, from regional brokers
and 3PLs to national carriers with fleets ranging from 50 to 15,000.

"Our relationship with TMW Systems is very important, and we look
forward to continue working with them across their various products
serving the transportation industry to bring customers more
cost-effective integrated solutions," says Kirsten Lester, Xata senior
integration program manager, who has 12 years' experience helping
fleets around the world improve their bottom line. "Xata is dedicated
to partnering with industry leaders to develop integrated solutions for
customers, extending the value of their technology investments."

According to Scott Vanselous, chief marketing officer at TMW Systems,
"Our integration with the Xata Turnpike offering presents another
affordable option for our TMWSuite customers. We are committed to
provide our customers out-of-the-box integrations to leading mobile
communication systems."

The integrated solution from Xata Turnpike and TMWSuite combines
powerful driver and fleet management tools to drive efficiency and
productivity throughout the process. Powered by Xata Turnpike's GPS
data, TMWSuite can detect site arrival and departure events and update
loads in Dispatch without manual intervention. Eliminating manual data
entry by dispatchers based on check calls from drivers saves time for
both drivers and dispatchers, and improves data accuracy.

"As part of Coca-Cola, we originally purchased the Xata Turnpike
product to manage driver logs, hours of service and fuel tax
information. Now as a standalone brokerage and for-hire trucking
company, we have implemented TMWSuite to manage all aspects of our
brokerage and dispatch operations," said Jason Meares, manager of
transportation systems with Red Classic Transit. "By integrating
Turnpike data into TMWSuite, we provide a streamlined solution for our
dispatchers, referencing hours of service and tractor position
information, saving them up to 30 minutes per day in planning,
dispatching and order updates. In addition, the integration allows us
to collect and report more data for each order with the level of
accuracy our customers demand."

Xata Turnpike's HOS data also assists dispatchers with load planning by
organizing driver availability based on available hours. When a
dispatcher is planning a load, they can quickly determine which drivers
are available, maximizing productivity.

The integrated solution provides additional convenience to planners and
dispatchers by showing important information -- remaining driver hours,
stop arrivals and load completions -- and controlling all dispatch
activities from one screen. It also speeds billing and payroll
processes by automating manual processes with Xata Turnpike data
integration.
