Located in Houston, Texas, TDS is one of few companies worldwide that offers rate management and back office services exclusively to the Ocean Transportation Industry. Established in 1985, Tariff Data Systems, Inc. has been professionally managing and maintaining tariffs for some of the world's largest Ocean Carriers and Ocean Transportation Intermediaries.

In 1998, TDS sought an opportunity to utilize the new wave of technological advances. Changes brought on by The Ocean Shipping Reform Act (O.S.R.A) allowed TDS to realize that opportunity with the Development of Tariff Link™, our electronic tariff retrieval application.

March of 2000, TDS joined forces with Elite Computer Consultants, Inc (ECOM) partnering decades of software development expertise with 15 years experience in the ocean transportation industry. A full time programming team, utilizing cutting edge technology, soon became the driving force behind Tariff Link™ Web. This new automated tariff system has since become the most powerful and comprehensive Internet based tariff retrieval applications on the market.

TDS has now become one of the first Publishing Service Providers to offer Cargo Tracking and Tracing to Carriers and OTI's. TDS clients can now affordably offer Cargo Tracking and Tracing online 24/7 to their customers.

TDS is dedicated to meeting the individual needs of our clients.
