Dunlap, Toptech's CEO put it, "When you're competing with yourself, and your previous products set a high mark, you must make sure that you really have raised the bar again with your new product. TMS6 is just that kind of release." Since 1995, TMS has become the most widely used and trusted terminal management system in the world. With the introduction of TMS6, Toptech's next generation terminal management system, the best has become even better! TMS6 is ideal for a variety of terminaling applications to support the operations of gasoline, light oil, LPG, chemical, fertilizer, and asphalt sites. TMS6 can also handle most any terminal configuration from a manual loading rack to facilities with multiple loading bays and a variety of electronic controls. It doesn’t matter whether you operate a single terminal or many; TMS6 delivers everything you expect and more. Load Rack Control Order Management Terminal Balancing Client/Host Interfaces Stock Balancing EDI Interfaces Multi-user Support Extensive Reports Allocations Management Pager/E-mail/Fax Support Features of TMS6 What’s New? New User Interface Aligned with ERP Systems Robust Multi-language Support SimplifiedDatabaseAccess Streamlined Setup and Configuration The TMS6 user interface is a Windows-based client developed using the latest Microsoft .NET technology. The result is an attractive graphical interface with good performance over both slow and high-speed connections. Mission-critical applications, however, are still controlled by the Linux server, so any lockup or failure related to the client PCs will not impact the ability of TMS6 to open gates, load trucks, or print BOLs. TMS6 incorporates database changes to more closely align with ERP systems. These modifications will assist in building interfaces to SAP or other ERP systems by reducing the amount of data requiring translation. An example of one of the enhancements is the expansion of the Stockholder, Customer, andAccount numbers from7 to 10 characters. The TMS6 platform supports both single and double-byte languages allowing support of Asian character sets and resulting in a truly global terminal management system. TMS6 menus, help screens and driver prompts are all configurable for amulti-lingual environment. TMS6 utilizes a high performance, multi-threaded database server with server-side ODBC, SQL compliant access from Windows clients. Third-party tools such as Microsoft Access or Crystal Reports can be used to access all TMS6 databases. TMS6 users also have the option to either fax or e-mail reports. Users will be pleased to know that setup and configuration data is better organized in TMS6. For example, setup information for data exchange services has been moved into a dedicated section. This transition will minimize inadvertent changes to these critical services.
