TMS Technologies LLC
a C.R. England Company
In 1982, Dave Brookhouse founded Traffic Management Services, Inc. (TMS) as a third party logistics company. In 1984, to run the operations of the company, a DOS-based software called the S*T*A*R SYSTEM was created for report preparation, manually auditing, and paying LTL freight bills. As time went on and technology became better and better, TMS decided to create a new software package called the enVision Suite, which was based on the most current Microsoft technology available. Once the enVision Suite was out of beta testing, TMS launched it and immediately noticed a 66% increase in efficiency. This allowed TMS to more than double its clientele, while at the same time, dramatically reduce labor expense.
While speaking at a Transportation Intermediaries Association (www.tianet.org) conference, Dave had the opportunity to introduce and demonstrate the enVision suite. Many companies took interest in this new, innovative software. It was then, January 1, 2003, that Dave decided to spin off TMS’ IT department into its own company. This new company was called TMS Technologies LLC.
Traffic Management Services, Inc has since been sold to C.R. England, but Dave retained ownership of TMS Technologies LLC.
Since then, TMS Technologies LLC has expanded its products and services to include EDI VAN capabilities, an Online Supply Chain Visibility Freight Management System called the Virtual Traffic Department (VTD), a small package service, known as the Small Package Module, local tech support and web server hosting.
On February 1st, 2011 TMS Technologies LLC was purchased by England Logistics a wholly owned subsidiary of global transportation leader C.R. England Inc.
