TMS Now Supports TPI Credit/Debit Card Processing Software

New TPI SmartPaymentstm Client levels the playing field and brings inexpensive, interactive retail terminals to merchants of all sizes. It is a simple, versatile and non-invasive payment solution that requires little to no work to implement. TMS is replacing the use of Pccharge with TPI software for credit/debit card transactions.

TPI is most robust system in the market that can be installed, configured in few minutes and can work with your existing merchant services.

TPI helps reduce fraud losses, saves the merchant time and money, and provides powerful features and performance at the point-of-sale.

TPI is certified with most major US Merchant Processors, and Moneries in Canada. Canadian Debit Card is in the process of certification which should be release in January 2007.

CIPA, Canada’s oldest and largest awards program in the field of information technology, presented a total of 24 awards for excellence before a black-tie audience of about 800 senior executives from across Canada during the 14th annual CIPA Gala Banquet, the largest celebration of IT-based innovation in Canada.

 “Canadian competitiveness and productivity continue to be critical factors that will affect our nation’s long-term economic health,” said Michael Roach, President and Chief Executive Officer of CGI, the Managing Sponsor of CIPA. “To prosper and compete in the global economy, Canadian organizations must continue to seek ways to be more innovative.

“In an impressive variety of ways, CIPA winners have demonstrated that innovative thinking leads to IT-enabled business solutions. These solutions improve the competitive health of their respective organizations and in turn, set an important example for others in Canada’s private and public sectors to follow.”

Whoops of exultation erupted at the Westin Harbour Castle Conference Centre as executives from both public and private-sector organizations heard that they had won the high-prestige awards from a field of 64 finalists and 75 innovative projects gleaned from a field of 150 submissions from across Canada.

Processing system for laundry and dry cleaning

DoveCorp Enterprises has transformed an entire business sector by introducing a suite of technologies to a kind of business where they had been seldom used - dry cleaning.

In 2001, Dove Cleaners became the first retail dry cleaner to ever receive ISO 9001 certification. It meant that the company could offer customers a guaranteed level of quality. Then, when building a new processing plant in Toronto in 2003, Dovecorp laid the foundation for expansion by implementing the most advanced systems developed for its industry.

In traditional dry cleaning establishments, much of the employees' time is spent sorting garments rather than cleaning them. At DoveCorp, each garment is now identifiable down to the fabric, manufacturer and number of cleanings. Its single-plant processing system, which serves 98 retail outlets, has increased throughput to 180 pieces an hour for each workstation from 90, resulting in substantially lower labor costs. The system has also greatly reduced the number of lost items.

Automated boiler monitoring has lowered fuel costs, and strict control of solvents has improved workplace safety and conditions.

The new two-storey conveyor system can sort and assemble items for up to 150 retail outlets. The patented two-tier garment-tracking system, which runs on a Microsoft, Net platform, captures the color and manufacturer of a garment, the time it enters the plant and the time
when it is due back at the store. Another system monitors the boilers' temperatures and automatically switches them on and off as required. The plant and the 98 stores are linked by an intranet

Management information is provided by a point-of-sale system in the stores, a routing system for vehicles and a decision support system, which links all elements of the business to financial reporting. In addition, DoveCorp believes it was the first dry cleaning and laundry company in North America to implement an online ordering system and the first Canadian firm to use bar-coding in this sector.

Five years ago, Dove Cleaners was a small, downtown Toronto business, with two wholly owned retail outlets and one franchised store. Today, DoveCorp Enterprises is the largest dry cleaning and laundry company in Canada.
