Klein­schmidt EDI Services Now Available in Web-Based Tailwind Trans­porta­tion Management System (TMS) Software

“We’re excited to bring our freight trans­porta­tion EDI experience to the Tailwind TMS platform,” says Phil Johnson, Director of Marketing at Klein­schmidt. ​“With Klein­schmidt B2B’s network and integration technology powering the EDI component of the Tailwind Unlimited TMS, Tailwind users are now natively EDI-capable – allowing them to seamlessly exchange digital freight documents with their customers and shippers directly within the Tailwind platform. Up-and-coming freight trans­porta­tion companies using the Tailwind TMS can now leverage our decades of experience and wide array of supply chain connec­tivity solutions to open new doors and easily navigate the intricacies of the complex digital freight process.”

“Our new integration with Klein­schmidt provides a crucial segment of our customer base the ability to bridge the gap that’s generally reserved for complex enterprise solutions,” Kyle Shaw, Director of Product Design and Delivery at Tailwind says, ​“and this allows small to mid-size players an unsurpassed ability to compete with the big outfits who can afford to spend hundreds of thousands on their TMS.”

Tailwind Unlimited customers are now able to quickly, accurately and efficiently exchange EDI data via the most common business languages facil­i­tating electronic commerce across the globe — such as X12, EDIFACT, JSON, and XML — and will benefit from new capa­bil­i­ties enabled by the Klein­schmidt integration such as opening doors to new markets through EDI, streamlined data workflows, access to trading partners through an expansive B2B network, and automation of paper-based tasks.
