IMS Unveils Proprietary Barter
Commerce Management Software
International Monetary Systems (OTCBB: INLM), a worldwide leader in
business-to-business barter services, reported the roll-out of its
proprietary barter commerce management software, Trade Network
Tracking System (TNT), will begin in June.
The TNT System lies at the heart of IMS�s day-to-day operations;
handling the processing of real-time trade dollar transactions,
managing client information and transaction histories, internal
reporting, business intelligence, and customer relationship
management.
This new platform enables IMS to rapidly implement new features,
improve usability, take advantage of database, internet, and e-mail
connectivity, and facilitate tighter integration with the firm�s web
site. It also benefits from the core functionality and established
best practices of the company�s previous system, TradeWorks, for
which IMS purchased the source code in 2007.
Nathan Alpert, IMS chief software architect, stressed, �The impact
of this progression cannot be (over)stated. The TNT System will
completely revolutionize the core of IMS� operations. It will
drastically improve efficiency and reduce overhead by streamlining
or completely automating time-consuming tasks. Our brokers will be
able to manage significantly more accounts, efficiently connect
buyers with sellers, and capitalize on new trade opportunities found
by the trade analysis and data mining capabilities of the software.
�TNT also opens the door to barter transactions eventually being
processed in real-time through P.O.S. swipe-card technology,
consistent with our mission to make barter easy to use and bring its
advantage to many more businesses. We want to make barter
transactions as easy as using your Visa card, combined with the
marketing intelligence of Google.�
Don Mardak, IMS CEO, added, �The TNT System will not only provide
our members and our team with all the advantages of today�s
technology, it also positions IMS to capitalize on the constantly
evolving technology of tomorrow. This evolution is indicative of IMS�
role within the barter industry to lead in the sound management of a
secondary economy based on the products and services of our member
businesses.
�Our strong investment in this proprietary technology and in-house
technical staff puts us in a truly unique position, allowing us to
build the most advanced and customized barter platform in the
industry, without our operations being molded by the limitations of
the off-the-shelf software that many of our competitors use.�
