Indra To Replatform Its Leading TMS Solutions For Hotels Onto Sap S/4 Hana - Hospitality Net

So far in the bobs guide to treasury management systems series, weve looked at how organisations can determine whether they need a TMS, the kinds of systems that are available, and what treasury professionals should consider before making their selection. Now its time for the nitty gritty implementation.

As weve covered in previous instalments of the series, the importance of ensuring a new treasury system is properly implemented cannot be understated. Get it wrong and not only might the new software make everyday operations more cumbersome and less efficient, but the treasury team will be driven back to old systems, and the time and resources taken to install the solution will have been wasted.

You might have chosen the right system, but if its mis-implemented, or ill-implemented, then your user wont be able to use it. Theyll go back to the spreadsheet, says Dimos Dimitriadis, partner and founder of consultancy Treasury Technology Associates.

Its a concern shared by many of you when it comes to TMS implementation. In our treasury management systems survey among bobsguide readers, conducted earlier this year, difficulty integrating new solution seamlessly with existing systems emerged as the top concern about implementing a TMS, with 62% respondents selecting it, closely followed by cost, at 58%.

By working closely with the vendor, and a consultancy if necessary, treasury teams can ensure their new system is optimally configured for their everyday operations. But during this transitional period, which calls upon many different players with many different roles, how can treasury teams avoid disruption to their day-to-day operations? The first step is preparation.

How can my treasury team prepare for the TMS implementation process?

Before implementation even begins, treasury teams must organise which personnel are going to be involved, and who will work closest with the vendor during the process. We covered assembling a team in an earlier instalment of this series. The next step is establishing a relationship with the vendor.

Patrick Cannon, head of professional services and customer success for SaaS provider Reval, says that the key to successful implementation is to involve the vendors professional service team early in the pre-sales process. Engagement starts with an understanding and alignment of the clients vision, he says.

Corporate treasury teams need to have better alignment internally as well, he adds. [They need] a clear understanding and commitment to achieving the business goals in a deployment, top to bottom.

Where projects succeed or fail is measured by the organisations clarity of vision and designation of an executive sponsor there needs to be an internal counterpart to the vendor who works in step to achieving value in the relationship.

Mathilde Sanson, chief client officer at cloud treasury solutions provider Kyriba, says that assuming evaluation of the TMS is complete, and that an extensive list of requirements was identified during that stage, the implementation process will be smoother, guided with clear business requirements.

To prepare for a TMS implementation, she says, a treasury team should understand the strategic functions of the organisation that they wish to automate, where in their workflows they would benefit from increased financial controls, security, auditability.

She continues: Having their requirements understood by the implementation consultants will help to ensure the project is completed according to plan.

Cannon suggests a straightforward way of confirming mutual understanding of the project, and what it is expected to deliver: If I were part of a corporate treasury team, I would want professional services to articulate my vision back to me to make sure they understand what I want to achieve, and leave no stone unturned when it comes to functionality and what the system can do.

What are some setbacks we need to be prepared for?

With so many individuals from different teams involved in TMS implementation, and many moving parts in the system itself, its expected to hit a few obstacles on the journey. What should treasury teams expect, and how can they prepare for any setbacks?

Many project risks can be identified during the discovery process and mitigation plans can be made, Sanson says. Good communication and a prepared client-vendor team can resolve and smooth out most bumps on the implementation road.

For Cannon, sticking to project best practices, including open communication, regular status reports, and strong governance, is crucial for keeping the wheels moving. Dont underestimate the commitment to getting this right, he says.

Depending on the complexity of the system, and the nature of the organisation, it can take six, 12, even up to 18 months to fully implement a TMS. Theres a risk the project will lose momentum, that the project will take even longer, that it will be disruptive, and treasury teams could lose enthusiasm.

Sanson, like Cannon, recommends executive sponsorship and regularly scheduled status calls to ensure there is ongoing triage and prioritisation to meet goals.

She continues: A treasury team should expect to have a clearly defined process with key milestones and checkpoints identified to recognise progress and maintain quality controls.

Lars Schroeder, senior engagement manager at consultancy SkySparc, says that working with a consultancy can take some of the load off the treasury team during TMS implementation, particularly when it comes to testing.

We help with implementing the new system, by allowing our clients to learn the new system but without doing all the testing which can be boring for them, he says.

Five tips for avoiding disruption during TMS implementation:

Sanson has five tips for treasury teams looking to minimise disruption during TMS implementation:

Establish your team lead and main point of contact. This person should be able to validate processes against the state requirements, she says.

Ensure the initial discovery phase is a priority for your internal stakeholders. Having all the requirements agreed upon up front will greatly reduce day-to-day disruption.

Communicate frequently and clearly about reaching check points and expected milestones. Ensuring everyone on the treasury team understands what should be done and when will keep the project on track.

Set aside a time in the day that you can dedicate to the implementation. If you do this proactively, your meetings will be predictable and according to your schedule. If you cannot free up your staff from day-to-day roles then an external consultant should be hired to have the project move forward.

Enable your vendors implementation team to become your trusted partner. Not only will this increase productivity, but you will also gain more out of the process.

Schroeder says that the key to avoiding disruption is involving the vendor in a smart way, but it will depend on your size and ambition, and how much you want to outsource. If you are smart you can outsource the boring stuff and have your key people be involved in the interesting part.

As is the case with many things, preparation is key to minimising disruption during a TMS implementation project. Success in implementation will depend on assembling the best possible team, ensuring everyone on the team has a defined role, and good communication with the vendor throughout the project.

The new Pokmon Go gym update has shaken up the meta in pretty incredible ways, but the biggest change is raids massive collaborative battles where trainers work together to bring down powerful Pokmon. Raids give players the opportunity to catch strong Pokmon and acquire powerful items like the Golden Razz Berry and for the first time in Pokmon Go history TMs. If that's news to you, here's what it means.

Truly competitive players in Pokmon Go focus on two things when choosing their gym attackers and defenders: their IVs or Individual Values and their moveset. IVs require a lot of testing, but the Silph Road has a streamlined way to test them, and IVs don't change as you evolve your Pokmon. Good IVs stay that way.

The same isn't true of movesets, which change as you evolve. So there's a chance when you finally evolve that perfect-IV Dragonair into a Dragonite, you'll end up with a less-than-stellar moveset, making it harder to use in gym battling.

That's where TMs come in. TMs, short for technical machines, will, for the first time, allow you to change the moves your Pokmon know, according to Pokmon Go Hub. You'll obtain TMs from raids, and they'll come in two flavors, fast and charged. Fast TMs are available to any trainer level 15 or above, and charged TMs are available to any trainer level 25 or above.

TM comparison

As the names suggest, they'll either change the fast or charged move that your Pokmon currently knows when you use them. According to Pokmon Go Hub, you can use an unlimited number of TMs on your Pokmon until you get the moveset that you want. Hopefully this is the first step towards rebalancing battles so that more movesets are considered good. However we're content to settle for the guarantee that our Golden Magikarp won't be stuck with crunch forever once we evolve it.

Raids are here! See why they may be the key to legendary Pokmon. Find out how to determine how long it will take you to reach level 40, and see what we think of the Gen 2 Pokmon added to the game. Here are the kinds of Pokmon you get from 10-kilometer eggs, and here's where you can check out what you missed during the Water Festival and Solstice events. Find out more about the upcoming Chicago event and why you'll probably be able to catch Unown while you're there if you're not busy searching for rare evolutionary items, that is.

'Pokmon Go' Charged TM vs. Fast TM: What you need to know about the items added in the raid update - Mic

Pokemon GO is slowly becoming the constantly evolving Alternate Reality Game title that it was promised to be when it was first introduced to the world over a year ago. Over the course of its first year,Pokemon GO has changed dramatically, removing features that werent functioning while adding content that is meant to both keep players engaged and bolster the apps functionality. Even amongst all the changes that have occurred within the game lately, though,Pokemon GOs latest patch is a different animal altogether, offering what is arguably the single-most impactful collection of updates in the history of the game.

Part of the reason the last update is so huge forPokemon GO is because it finally introduces a core mechanic from otherPokemon games Technical Machines, better known to veteran players as TMs. In the classicPokemon games, TMs teach Pokemon a specific move, giving trainers more control over their creatures and making specific kinds ofPokemon battles much easier with a little planning. InPokemon GO, TMs function a little differently, but theyre still a vital and useful tool worth embracing for those looking to hone the perfect gym sweeper lineup.

TMs are a reward from the newly-addedPokemon GO raid battles, so players who end up competing in the larger-scale fights in gyms will have the potential to acquire these items. There are two types of TMs Fast TMs, which teach moves that a player uses by tapping the screen in battle, and Charged TMs, which teach moves that a player uses by charging the meter in a battle and holding their finger on the phone screen.

Fast TMs drop fromPokemon GO gym raids for players level 15 and over. Ultimately, the official requirements for gym raids make it so that any participant will already be higher than level 15, so simply participating in a gym raid will give players the chance to acquire a Fast TM.

Charged TMs, on the other hand, only drop from gym raids that are level 25 or higher. This isthe minimum level for gym raids, meaning newer or less experienced players will still have to grind up to level 25 in order to have access to Charged TM drops as well as Fast TMs no matter what. Its possible the level requirements for these items dropping is related to the fact that Niantic is already testing level 5 raid battles presumably, if those get implemented later, TMs will not be available as rewards at such low levels.

TMs simply exist in the item bag and can be used on Pokemon whenever a trainer wishes. This does come with a caveat, though, and is the major difference between TMs in traditionalPokemon games and those that are found inPokemon GO the move they teach is assigned at random. Using a Fast TM will, of course, teach a Fast move no matter what, but trainers cannot choose which one they will receive.

That being said, there are a few rules that help narrow things down. A Pokemon will not learn a move from a TM that it couldnt already have, which typically limits the random move pool to about 4 moves for each move type. Furthermore, a Pokemon will never learn the same move it already had in its slot from a TM, so players wont have to worry about wasting a TM and getting nothing out of it.

Ultimately, the introduction of TMs allows trainers to have more control over the development of their Pokemon than ever before. This is particularly useful for those who have a high CP Pokemon that has an undesirable move for battle simply using TMs until the right move is learned will likely take less time than constantly grinding for a high-level variant of the creature in question with the desired move.

Pokemon GO is available now on Android and iOS mobile devices.

Pokemon GO: How to Get and Use TMs - Game Rant

Cana 'brain massage' battle the potentially life-threatening effects of depression?

That's the hope behind a relatively new treatment, called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS for short), which is showing impressive results in the treatment of depression among test cases in the UK.

TMS sends magnetic pulses of low-level electric currentthrough specific parts of the brain, stimulating or suppressingthe cells and potentially so the theory goes changing their behaviour. It's been around for a while, but has only recently been fine-tuned;theNational Institute for Clinical Excellence backed TMS in 2015, recognising it as a safeand effective treatment for a range of disorders including neuropathic pain, de-personalisation syndrome, depression and addiction.

For Freddie Webster, 27,it's not an exaggeration to say TMS may have saved his life.

Ive battled depression for the past 10 years, combating it with drugs in the darkest moments when my thoughts turned to suicide, says the website designer from Surrey.

When I was first diagnosed with a depressive disorder the symptoms would begin with me feeling down about everything, having a bleak outlook, lacking energy but having heightened anxiety. Then I would descend into bouts of clinical depression. Id lose focus, I couldnt concentrate, my memory would suffer, it ruined relationships and jobs. Id have suicidal thoughts.

Henry Blofeld, right, says he leaves the Test Match Special programme in the safest of hands led by Jonathan Agnew. Photograph: Visionhaus/Corbis via Getty Images

The expectation was they would carry Henry Blofeld out of the Test Match Special commentary box in a coffin. He has always loved the cricket and the microphone in equal measure. And he is one of lifes great troupers. Yet now we learn that, at 77, he has announced his retirement from TMS in September. It is a bit of a shock.

His last game on air is scheduled to be Englands third Test against West Indies at Lords. When he bids farewell expect something more flowery than John Arlotts final sentence on TMS in 1980, which was: After a word from Trevor Bailey it will be Christopher Martin-Jenkins. For Henry, pigeons will presumably assemble around St Johns Wood like the Red Arrows.

Henry has adorned the TMS box for 45 years with a few interruptions (like the good freelance, he had a go with Sky TV for a while before returning to the fold). I have had the good fortune to sit alongside him now and again for more than 25 of those years, marvelling at his energy, his preposterous ability to spot butterflies and buses, and his intimate knowledge of the game of cricket. While Henry may struggle to identify the exact name of the bloke fielding at third man, he could give you every last detail of the England team that won the Ashes in 1956 or in 1981 when he was commentating at the end of the famous Botham Test at Headingley.

Henrys zest for life is remarkable. In the 1960s this was reflected by his decision to drive to India in a vintage Rolls-Royce to cover an England tour with John Woodcock of the Times as one of his travelling companions. On one distant subcontinental tour he almost played for England as sickness hit the dressing room. He was easily the best qualified among the press corps to do so since he was a prodigious young batsman and wicketkeeper at Eton and Cambridge. My impression is he played a few shots. In this decade he is still tearing around the country and will continue to do so treading the boards, talking of cricket and anything else that takes his fancy. He loves an audience.

That zest sometimes necessitated the odd early departure from a cricket ground. Henry wrote about cricket for the Guardian regularly in the 1980s. Once at a routine county match at Chelmsford he left a little early for a pressing engagement having dutifully filed his copy, which focused upon Essexs innings of 287 and with the last sentence reading: and at the close Surrey were _ for _. Unfortunately Surrey were bowled out for 14 in the last hour. Fortunately a young Matthew Engel was on the desk and did a little more than simply add the numbers 14 and 10 to Henrys copy.

He has written for most newspapers, adjusting to fresh demands and equipment along the way. The sight of him counting the words of a piece he had written on a newly acquired laptop springs to mind. It just seemed to spoil the fun to inform him of a button called word count. But perhaps his most memorable work has been for the BBC.

I have witnessed many epic broadcasts, sometimes when there has been no cricket happening at all. In Brisbane in 1998 there was a biblical thunderstorm when Henry was on air. Suddenly his antennae were triggered. This was something exceptional and off he went on an extraordinarily vivid monologue. Within days this was compulsory listening on Pick of the Week.

His stock phrases can be easily interpreted. My dear old thing came about because he could not remember names infallibly. Watch out for youre absolutely right, which means I havent been listening to a word youve been saying for the last few minutes but its my turn now.

This lovable old rogue, who knows the game inside out, will be genuinely missed on the airwaves. Women and children were often special fans. There is still a twinkle in the eye and mischief in the voice. And if his absence is hard to bear, do not worry; the old trouper will be appearing at some theatre near you very shortly.

Pigeons, buses and mixing up fielders: TMS will miss Henry Blofeld - The Guardian

(Niantic)

One of the new features that Niantic has now added toPokemon Goare technical machines. TMs come in two types: Fast Training Machine and Charged Training Machine. Each item can be used to teach a new move to one of your Pokemon.Pokemon trainers are really excited about these new items, since theyve been waiting a long time for the ability to teach their Pokemon new moves.

According to Pokemon Go Hub, youll need to be at least level 15 to use a Fast TM, and at least level 25 to use a Charged TM. The Fast TM will teach your Pokemon a random fast move, and the Charged TM will teach your Pokemon a random charged move. Both TMs are among the new items that will drop after you win a raid battle. Raid battles are still in beta and you must be at least level 35 to participate in one. But starting at some point in July, raid battles will be available to everyone, and so will TMs.

Teaching your Pokemon a new move with a TM is pretty easy. First, just go to your bag, find the TM, and select it. At this time, your Pokemon screen will appear and you can scroll through and select the Pokemon that you want to use the TM on. You can only get moves that are currently available when youre using a TM. The Go Hub DB provides a nice list of TM-eligible moves here.

As far as which Pokemon you can use a TM on: the skys the limit. You can use as many TMs as you want on the same Pokemon, and you can use TMs on any level or gender. All Pokemon are eligible for TMs. But remember: youll always get anewmove when you use a TM on a Pokemon. There will be no chance of getting the same move you already have. And legacy moves are not among the current possible outcomes.

See photos and videos of what raid battles in Pokemon Go look like. The beta raids are available to level 35 players and up.

On May 18, Tallmadge Middle School students participated in the Junior Solar Sprint and KidWind Competitions at Kent State Universitys Aeronautics and Engineering building.

Tallmadge Middle Schools Gateway to Technology eighth-grade students who participated included: Aaron Andrea, Josh Vernotzy, Jacob Becks, Tommy Naiman, Dylan Case, Hunter Eslinger, William Hudak, Ethan Hudak, Jackson Queen, Brandon Blatt, Gunther Zehner, Evan Mauck, Halle Kalaman, Emma Sandy, Emma Ryder and Mallory Cox-Shreffler.

The students enjoyed learning about alternative energies, designing, building and competing against other students with their alternative energy cars and wind turbines, said Justin Christopher, Tallmadge Middle Schools technology education teacher, robotics advisor and soapbox derby advisor. This was a great opportunity to showcase what the students have learned in their Gateway to Technology class.

The Junior Solar Sprint competition tasked students to create a lightweight car chassis to hold a solar panel that supplies the electrical energy to propel the car. Students had to use the given supplies to increase the cars torque and speed. Their design had to fit the given parameters and attach to a tethered fishing line along the 20-meter race track.

The KidWind competition tasked students to design a wind turbine that would produce the greatest amount of electrical output measured in volts. Students were required to design and construct a wind turbine that fit the parameters of the wind chamber using a specified generator.

This was a great competition for our students to experience, said Superintendent Jeff Ferguson. It provided the perfect opportunity for students to be creative and apply what theyve learned to create their own design and compete against their peers. I would like to thank Kent State University for allowing our students to be a part of this learning experience.

Students were invited to participate through Tallmadge Middle Schools Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Advisory Boards partnership with Kent State University.

Students winners received alternative energy products, including solar phone chargers, solar flashlights and other prizes.

Americans spend billions of dollars each yearon antidepressants, but the National Institutes of Health estimates that those medications work for only 60 percent to 70 percent of people who take them. In addition, the number of people with depressionhas increased 18 percentsince 2005, according to the World Health Organization, which this year launched a global campaign encouraging people to seek treatment.

TheSemel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA is one of a handful of hospitals and clinics nationwide that offer a treatment that works in a fundamentally different way than drugs. The technique, transcranial magnetic stimulation, beams targeted magnetic pulses deep inside patients brains an approach that has been likened to rewiring a computer.

TMS has been approved by the FDA for treating depression that doesnt respond to medications, and UCLA researchers say it has been underused. But new equipment being rolled out this summer promises to make the treatment available to more people.

We are actually changing how the brain circuits are arranged, how they talk to each other, saidDr. Ian Cook, director of the UCLA Depression Research and Clinic Program. The brain is an amazingly changeable organ. In fact, every time people learn something new, there are physical changes in the brain structure that can be detected.

Nathalie DeGravel, 48, of Los Angeles had tried multiple medications and different types of therapy, not to mention many therapists, for her depression before she heard about magnetic stimulation. She discussed it with her psychiatrist earlier this year, and he readily referred her to UCLA.

Within a few weeks, she noticed relief from the back pain she had been experiencing; shortly thereafter, her depression began to subside. DeGravel says she can now react more wisely to lifes daily struggles, feels more resilient and is able to do much more around the house. She even updated her resume to start looking for a job for the first time in years.

During TMS therapy, the patient sits in a reclining chair, much like one used in a dentists office, and a technician places a magnetic stimulator against the patients head in a predetermined location, based on calibrations from brain imaging.

The stimulator sends a series of magnetic pulses into the brain. People who have undergone the treatment commonly report the sensation is like having someone tapping their head, and because of the clicking sound it makes, patients often wear earphones or earplugs during a session.

TMS therapy normally takes 30 minutes to an hour, and people typically receive the treatment several days a week for six weeks. But the newest generation of equipment could make treatments less time-consuming.

There are new TMS devices recently approved by the FDA that will allow patients to achieve the benefits of the treatment in a much shorter period of time, saidDr. Andrew Leuchter, director of the Semel Institutes TMS clinical and research service. For some patients, we will have the ability to decrease the length of a treatment session from 37.5 minutes down to 3 minutes, and to complete a whole course of TMS in two weeks.

Leuchter said some studies have shown that TMS is even better than medication for the treatment of chronic depression. The approach, he says, is underutilized.

We are used to thinking of psychiatric treatments mostly in terms of either talk therapies, psychotherapy or medications, Leuchter said. TMS is a revolutionary kind of treatment.

Bob Holmes of Los Angeles is one of the 16 million Americans who report having a major depressive episode each year, and he has suffered from depression his entire life. He calls the TMS treatment he received at UCLA Health a lifesaver.

What this did was sort of reawaken everything, and it provided that kind of jolt to get my brain to start to work again normally, he said.

Doctors are also exploring whether the treatment could also be used for a variety of other conditions including schizophrenia, epilepsy, Parkinsons disease and chronic pain.

We're still just beginning to scratch the surface of what this treatment might be able to do for patients with a variety of illnesses, Leuchter said.Its completely noninvasive and is usually very well tolerated.

Today's transportation software can help you pick the best carrier, rate, and route. Tomorrow's will be able to do it faster and betterand remove humans from the decision-making loop.

By Ben Ames

Moving freight is a complex business, and variables like rates, reliability, and capacity can change with the weather, the season, or the latest retail craze. In an effort to get the most from their freight transportation dollar, many companies turn to transportation management systems (TMS).

A good TMS tracks dozens of key performance indicators (KPIs) so users can weigh the variables and pick the optimal carrier, rate, and route. But what if a TMS could leverage the power of big data and ultra-fast processors to remove humans from the decision-making loop? Such a system could analyze far more variables than any human could handle, refresh its records with real-time data, quickly calculate the optimal shipping method, and even act on its findings.

That vision is quickly becoming a reality, thanks to the power of computer analytics, experts say. Adding embedded analytics to a TMS platform allows shippers, brokers, and carriers to make decisions based on the data they're actually collecting, not just on the trends they think they see, said Monica Wooden, chief executive officer (CEO) and co-founder of MercuryGate International Inc., a TMS provider based in Cary, N.C. "We're seeing this really evolve," Wooden said. "More and more every year, it's getting more robust and real time. And that allows everybody to benefit."

As is so often the case today, the rising interest in advanced analytics has a lot to do with the e-commerce explosion. Retailers face mounting pressure to meet escalating demands for next-day delivery and omnichannel fulfillment, both of which carry significant costs, Wooden said. In response, logistics executives and chief information officers are pushing for greater use of data-driven technologies like business intelligence and data analytics to help trim time and cost from their supply chains.

The fast growth of sophisticated inventory-tracking networks has given them the reams of raw data necessary to achieve that objective. By pulling data from smartphone apps, global positioning systems (GPSs), and electronic logging devices (ELDs), supply chain practitioners can quickly determine a shipment's precise location and its delivery status.

But the possibilities go well beyond tracking. "It's not just improved productivity, but true decision-making," Wooden said. "With embedded analytics, you can take empty miles out of the supply chain, work with people in certain lanes, make sure containers are full, and generally help the world be a better place."

For example, embedded analytics could help a TMS automatically book space on a preferred carrier in the Atlanta-Tampa (Fla.) lane, then revert to a second choice if the first carrier doesn't have the needed capacity, she said. Or it could suggest efficiency enhancementssuch as showing that a carrier would save money by making multiple stops along its delivery route, instead of scheduling multiple trips with partially filled trucks.

That's not to say that only automated systems can make these determinations. People working in manual transportation operations make similar kinds of judgments all the time. The benefit to using a TMS to handle basic decisions is that it frees up human specialists for more nuanced decision-making, according to Wooden. An automated TMS would not replace human employees, but enable them to concentrate on more advanced tasks, she said.

Wooden is not alone in her assessment. Adding embedded analytics or "machine learning" capabilities to logistics software will reinforce, not replace, the supply chain workforce, agrees Eric Gilmore, CEO of Turvo, a collaborative logistics platform provider.

"The value of machine learning is to augment human intelligence and make people super-human," Gilmore said. He cautioned, however, that this requires a certain amount of database maintenance and upkeep on the user's part. Adding artificial intelligence to a TMS will not produce decent results unless the software includes accurate, recent data, he warned. Most businesses keep databases full of unstructured information, which include duplicate entries that can cause database chaos.

"You need good 'data hygiene'," Gilmore said. "You really have to feel that data is strategic to your business, and you need data scientists to cleanse it. You can't even talk about making a machine smart if you don't do that first. It's like the old saying: 'Garbage in, garbage out.'"

Companies are now starting to realize that they can't manage warehouses full of inventory without hiring data scientists to manage databases full of information, according to Jim Vrtis, chief technology officer of New Plymouth, Idaho-based trucking loadboard provider Truckstop.com.

"Data is the fuel for a good algorithm, which drives machine learning," Vrtis said. "We're past the time when it was just important to store the data in a database. We now have to understand it and leverage that information to make better decisions."

That's where data specialists can help. "A good data scientist can draw conclusions from the data that are impactful and actionable," said Vrtis. "It's almost like the gold rush. People say, 'I have a lot of data; now I need to hire a data scientist to come analyze it, so I can find the gold and make money.'"

The best TMS platforms allow users to be creative and flexible in making better decisions and saving money, said Mitch Weseley, CEO of Shelton, Conn.-based TMS provider 3Gtms.

That need is particularly important in light of changes in the TMS customer base, Weseley said. Twenty years ago, big shippers dominated the market, accounting for the majority of TMS sales. Today, however, most of the demand comes from small and mid-sized shippers and third-party logistics service providers (3PLs), he said.

"Creativity is so important. Both shippers and 3PLs have more levers they can pull nowadays," Weseley said. "You can't look at all the options and manually figure it out. So a TMS frees people up to do the things that can't be automated."

With tools like improved algorithms, robust database-building capabilities, and embedded analytics, software providers can help TMS users reach new levels of creativity, industry experts said.

"Those things empower today's [practitioner] to handle more freight, be more efficient, be more productive, and grow the business," Truckstop.com's Vrtis said. "They can spend less time connecting the dots and begin to take a tactical approach to freight matching and to improving service levels. I think it's going to be really fun to see."

Powered by embedded analytics, technology could soon help solve many of the problems that vex the logistics industry today. "This journey is at Day Zero in terms of what's possible in building intelligent software that makes the human smarter," Turvo's Gilmore said. "And supply chain is the most fascinating application for these techniques."

Stadium Super Trucks to create mega buzz at TMS - Fort Worth Star Telegram

John Hunter Nemechek is not having a great year in the Truck Series. (RacinToday/HHP file photo by Gregg Ellman)

By John Sturbin | Senior WriterRacinToday.com

FORT WORTH, Texas Teenager John Hunter Nemechek has the perfect attitude to deal with a promising NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season that has morphed into a slump.

I still have fun, no matter if its a bad day or a good day, said Nemechek, who will look to snap a 14-race winless streak during Friday nights 21st annual 400-miler at Texas Motor Speedway. You still have to take the positives out of it. You have to make sure youre having fun.

I wouldnt really say its a motivation thing to come back to the racetrack every week. I love going fast. I love driving race cars. Its just something Im very passionate (about) and determined to make it to the top. So the motivation is there 100 percent all the time. If you have a mechanical failure Id rather get right back in the race car and go show em what we really have.

What John Hunter has through the seasons first six races is two top-five finishes, two top-10s and two DNFs. He will tackle TMS repaved and re-profiled 1.5-mile oval after logging consecutive 22nd-place finishes at sister track Charlotte Motor Speedway and Dover International Speedway. A season-best third-place result at Kansas Speedway and a fourth-place finish in the season-opener at Daytona International Speedway have been offset by respective 29th and 28th-place results at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Martinsville Speedway.

Victories last season at AMS, another sister track to TMS, and Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada, locked John Hunter into the NCWTS playoffs. John Hunter currently sits 12th in the standings with 141 points, a distant 150 behind reigning series champion Johnny Sauter of GMS Racing.

At times like these, John Hunter knows where to turn for advice. The best piece of advice my dad has ever given me probably is to have patience, work hard, stay focused and never give up, said John Hunter, son of former NASCAR touring series regular Front Row Joe Nemechek. I wouldnt say theres one thing hes ever told me that you dont take into consideration every day.

The biggest thing is working hard and being at the shop every day, working on the race car, getting my hands dirty, being there with all the guys. I can make myself a better race driver by just learning what each component does _ it makes victory that much sweeter when you know youve had a part in it.

John Hunters career totals show one pole, three wins, 16 top-five and 29 top-10 results. My goal is to win, said John Hunter, who made his series debut at age 16 at Martinsville Speedway in 2013. We wouldnt show up at a racetrack if we dont think we can win. The overall goal is to just finish a race. Weve run six races this year and weve two DNFs and three mechanical failures. So it kinda stinks when weve been running top-five as we unload off the gate, with trucks I think could have won races, but the cards just havent played right.

John Hunter stood fifth after Thursdays opening 55-minute practice here with a lap at 180.246 mph in his No. 8 Chevrolet Silverado. The session was topped by Christopher Bell at 182.877 mph in the No. 4 JBL Toyota fielded by Kyle Busch Motorsports. Bell also retained P1 after the second practice, raising the speed mark to 185.300 mph. Nemechek remained fifth, although improving his speed to 183.786 mph. Qualifying is scheduled for 5:35 p.m. (EDT) Friday.

John Hunter previewed TMS repaved surface during a promotional appearance here on May 23 via a lap or two in a rental car. In addition to a complete repave of the 1.5-mile oval and pit road, the banking in Turns 1 and 2 was reduced from 24 to 20 degrees and widened from 60 to 80 feet. Turns 3 and 4 remain banked at 24 degrees.

Its way smoother than the old surface, said John Hunter, who was voted the series Most Popular Driver in 2015. Its really not that abrasive compared to the old surface. I know watching the Xfinity and Cup races here (in April) its really fast but it took a little bit to get there, they had to put a lot of rubber down. Normally we dont put a lot of rubber down for the summer race, so hopefully we can scrub some tires. If not, its going to be a fun race and track position is really going to matter.

I dont see why our trucks wont run wide open for almost a whole fuel run. I think its going to be really aero-sensitive trying to pass guys, somewhat similar to what you saw at Kentucky (Speedway) last July. I know the past couple of years Ive run here you were able to run wide open for probably five or six laps and then youd have to start lifting because of tire wear. Lap times would drop off quite a bit. I dont think youre going to see tire wear come into a huge factor. I think its going to be wide open and very competitive.

In three starts at TMS, John Hunter has a best start of 12th (2015) with a single lap-led, and best finish of sixth (last June).

Fridays race, set for 167 laps/250.5-miles, will be televised beginning at 8 p.m. (EDT) on FOX Sports 1 along with MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

In what has become a TMS June tradition, 18-year-old NCWTS rookieNoah Gragsonwill experience the pomp and circumstance of graduating from high school before Friday nights race.

Due to his racing schedule, Gragson did not attend a traditional high school in his hometown of Las Vegas, instead taking online courses at the K12 International Academy. TMS, however, has become a second home to Truck Series drivers caught in that predicament, so Gragson will get to enjoy that coming-of-age moment prior to Friday nights winstaronlinegaming.com 400.

During pre-race activities Gragson will walk the stage in cap and gown to Pomp & Circumstance and receive his on-line diploma from TMS PresidentEddie Gossage, decked-out in faculty cap and gown. Several of Gragsons family members will be present, most notably parentsScottandJill Gragson.

Having my graduation walk at Texas is going to be cool, Gragson said. A lot of my family is coming in for it, including my parents, grandparents and my sister (Addison) who goes to college in Texas (SMU in Dallas). Shes in a sorority, so Im trying to convince her to bring all of her sorority sisters so I can have a good-looking cheering section in the stands.

The high school graduation tradition at TMS began in 2014 when the speedway hosted a commencement ceremony forErik Jones, who graduated from Swartz Creek (Mich.) Community Schools. Last year, Cole Custerbypassed his graduation ceremony at Tesoro High School in Santa Margarita, Calif., to compete in the Truck Series race at TMS and received a ceremony as well.

I passed all of my finals, so now I just have to get the diploma and move the tassel from one side of the cap to the other to make my high school graduation official, Gragson said. Only a select group of graduates wear their gown over a fire suit and have Eddie Gossage hand them a diploma, so Im excited.

Following the ceremony, Gragson will slide into the No. 18Toyota Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports and make his first appearance on TMS 1.5-mile oval. Gragson, a NCWTS Rookie of the Year candidate, is 10th in points.

Reigning NCWTS champion Johnny Sauter captured his first career win at Dover International Speedway after fuel strategy helped him hold off Rookie of the Year contender and GMS Racing teammate Kaz Grala last weekend.

Sauter, driver of the No. 21 Chevrolet, was thrilled to get his first win at Dover and of this season. I cant say enough about the way this season has started and the work that Joe, the No. 21 team and everyone at GMS have put in, said Sauter, referring to crew chief Joe Shear Jr. The last four races Ive sat here and talked about how good things have been and how I felt a win was coming, but when it actually happens there is a bit of weight taken off our shoulders.

The win also was Sauters fifth consecutive top-three finish. Sauter is having another championship-worthy season, leading the standings by 52 points over Christopher Bell. Sauter has the most stage wins this season (three) and Truck Series playoff points (eight) of any driver so far. Sauter has yet to finish outside the top-15 this season, has led 169 laps and owns an average finish of 4.2.

At TMS, Sauter boasts the most wins among active drivers, with three, heading into Friday nights winstaronlinegaming.com 400.

Two-time NCWTS champion Matt Crafton and 2017 playoff hopeful Ryan Truex both won their first race stages of this season at Dover International Speedway.

Truex won Stage 1 in the Bar Harbor 200 _ leading every lap in the stage after starting second. He ultimately finished 10th. The performance moved him from ninth to sixth in the standings. Truex is driving the No. 16 Toyota Tundra at TMS.

Crafton won Stage 2 at Dover and finished 11th in the race. Crafton has been a steady third in the standings and has yet to finish outside the top-16 this season through six races. Crafton is wheeling the No. 88 Toyota in Fort Worth.
