Key Differences from TMS7

TMS7LITE is NOT Customizable Unlike TMS7, TMS7LITE comes as a standard configuration without customization options. The system uses pre-defined workflows, fixed screen layouts, and standard business rules that cannot be modified. This streamlined approach reduces complexity, accelerates deployment, and lowers total cost of ownership.

Optimized for Simpler Operations TMS7LITE focuses on essential features for bulk plants and smaller facilities:

  • Handles standard rack pickups and dispatch orders

  • Supports straightforward loading processes without complex scheduling

  • Manages limited product portfolios (typically pre-blended products)

  • Designed for facilities with 1-2 loading bays and lower daily volumes

  • Simplified reporting without advanced analytics modules

What TMS7LITE Does NOT Include

  • Advanced Stock Reconciliation Module with multi-owner management

  • Complex blend recipe management and custom blending scenarios

  • Pipeline transaction automation and ETI validation tools

  • Customizable workflows, fields, and business rules

  • Advanced analytics and forecasting capabilities

  • Bulk change capabilities across multiple records

  • Custom template creation for data entry

  • Document attachment features for transactions

Ideal Applications

TMS7LITE is perfectly suited for:

  • Bulk plants with straightforward distribution operations

  • Fuel depots serving local markets with limited product variety

  • Small custody transfer operations requiring accurate measurement

  • Simple truck loading facilities with standard processes

  • Railcar loading operations at smaller facilities

  • Facilities transitioning from manual processes to automation

  • Operations requiring reliable terminal management without IT-intensive customization
