Innovation has dramatically altered the day-to-day experience of rental and dealership operations worldwide.
Over its 25-year history, TSD has strived to deliver the most advanced products and services to rental companies and dealerships to manage their businesses, increase their market exposure and enhance their profitability.
TSD offers a comprehensive portfolio of software and technology solutions including Windows and Web-based software products to manage rental and loaner fleets, online reservation system management, electronic insurance replacement software programs that allow insurance adjusters to create and deliver assignments to rental companies electronically, as well as high-speed credit card processing solutions.
When TSD began, handwritten contracts were the norm for the vast majority of local and insurance replacement rental car operations. Front counter control, fleet management and calculating vehicle profitability were manual and time consuming activities.
In addition, personal computers contained limited storage capacity and processing power. While large airport rental operations had basic reservation, credit card processing and rental contract automation, this functionality was not widely shared by the off-airport markets and smaller car rental companies.
The Beginning
TSD (The System Distributors) was formed in the mid 1980s and began to develop software that would revolutionize the ability of rental operators to increase accuracy, ensure business controls and maximize profitability.
This product was called THE CONTROLLER Car Rental System. “Other software companies designed their products exclusively to target airport locations. There was a real opportunity to provide a software solution with features designed specifically for the local and insurance replacement markets,” says Charles Grieco, CEO.
