' TODCO Partners' Provides Online Order Status 24/7


MARION, Ohio (11-07-2006) - For TODCO customers, time is money, so for TODCO, meeting customer delivery schedules on time, every time, is paramount. That's why the world's largest manufacturer of overhead truck doors has created "TODCO Partners" (www.todcopartners.com), an online program allowing its customers to check their order status - any time day or night.

Designed for truck body and trailer manufacturers and distributors, TODCO Partners compliments "just in time" ordering by allowing its customers up-to-the-minute real time status reports of their orders.

"With TODCO Partners, our customers know exactly where their order stands in the build process," explains Scott Blackford, vice president of sales and marketing. "Once the customer's order has shipped, we provide carrier information and PRO number. At that point, the order invoice is also available online through TODCO Partners."

The process helps OEMs and distributors better manage their production processes with greater efficiency, and avoid costly inventory expenses.

TODCO customers may register for the free service at its secure web site, www.todcopartners.com. TODCO Partners allows customers to choose their own specific password allowing them to check their order status. TODCO Partners is then password protected, with complete confidentiality built in. No one other than the TODCO Partner has access to their specific order information.

"It's really a win-win situation for everyone," Blackford adds. "We're proud to be the exclusive truck door manufacturer offering this service. With up-to-date information, our customers can plan much more accurately their manufacturing and assembly process. We understand that for them, information is power - and time is money."

Headquartered in Marion, Ohio, TODCO manufactures and services overhead doors, swing doors and walk ramps for the trucking industry. The company maintains manufacturing plants in Marion and Upper Sandusky, Ohio and Fresno, California. For more information, go to www.todco.com
