Agenda

• TMSS in a nutshell• Uniformity• TMSS innovation• Additional Innovation• Security• Product Architecture• TMSS Benefits• Q&A

TMSS

Uniformity: Sales Management Centric

• The first system for freight forwarders that is Sales and management centric

• Provides full visibility across all company functions:• Bidding (pending patents)• Pricing (pending patents)• Customer Management• Logistics • BI• Optimized capabilities of users

(pending patents)• Customers retention• Integration with ERP

TMSS Uniformity

Full Visibility Across all Company Functions

• A sophisticated hierarchical structure that:• Contains all shipment parameters

• Assigns them relative weights

• Runs sophisticated algorithms in order to reach optimal pricing and routes.

The Solution: TMSS Pricing Engine

SELLER

• Implementing the translation between transportation costs and special business rules into vertices and edges of a graph:

• Using graph theory algorithms (Dijkstra's algorithm, A* search algorithm , Bellman-Ford algorithm) to find the shortest path between source and target nodes, with the sum of the weight of its constituent edges minimized

• Implementing the algorithm into a special decision engine, which encompasses our many years of experience in the freight forwarding business (Unique and subject to patents)

How TMSS Does It:

Source TargetVertical represents location

and edged represents segment of route and weighted by cost and criteria (CO2, Time, etc.)

• Automatically identifies, manages and preserves business opportunities

• Opportunity Network Identifier (ONI)

Innovation II: Opportunity Management

TMSS Opportunity Network Identifier

• Company Data Integration: • ETL – Easy Integration with ERP, Historical Data Process• Excel Drag & Drop integration• Inttra & Traxton integration• Scalable, easy to implement, install, use

• Users Data Integration:• Office (Mail, Documents, Contacts, Calendar)• Chat & Social• Country Branches• Agents Integration

Innovation III: Data Integration

• ETL Process – Extract Transform Load• Most of Integration process already done

TMSS Innovative Process

ETL - Integration with ERP & Historical Data

FF Existing Process

Data Integration Third Party InterfaceIn process with:

• Inttra - Global network for shipping data

• Traxon - Global Air Cargo communication through a single gateway

Benefits:• Operational air and sea schedules and actual data• Web-based data Interface• Bills of Lading and airway bills data (charge details, cargo details,

shipped quantities, package counts, weights, volumes ,shipped dates)

Innovation III:

• Mobile readiness

• SaaS platform• Access from Anywhere• Security• Faster implementation• Centralized feature updating• No local server installation• Rapid Scalability

• Green capabilities• Geo-Location• All Databases and Operating systems compatibility • Standardized processes

Additional Innovations

• Data is stored at top-security facility• Geographically distributed Server• Encrypted data and communications• Controlled connectivity from specific IP addresses• Provides isolation at a number of levels:

• Isolation of identities • Isolation of VMs• Stand-alone running on customer IT platforms

• Complete system transparency: you know at every moment where the information is and who is using it
