What is TDS?

TDS is a set of services that enable users to retrieve and utilize load transaction data. The raw load transactions are gathered from the respective terminals, either running Toptech's TMS or another Terminal Automation System (TAS), and sent immediately to TDS servers located at Toptech's facility in Longwood, Florida. Each TDS customer's data is immediately available via the Internet by accessing the TDS website. TDS services include:

• BOLnow - Real-time BOLs from third-party terminals
• APPROVEnow - Allocations at third-party terminals
• ORDERnow - Dispatched orders at third-party terminals
• STOCKnow - Provides timely views of your inventory at third party terminals
• EXCHANGEnow - Provides "snapshots" of the allocations your supplier has applied to your business at exchange locations.

The TDS Objective

The goal of TDS is to make all meaningful data immediately available to every participant in the custody transfer of refined products from the terminal to the retail dispenser.
