About
Dennis Teicher started D-Tech Micro Systems back in the 1980's.
After graduating from Syracuse University in 1973, he went to work for Schenkers International, one of the world's largest freight forwarders, in the World Trade Center in New York. After working in the Dupont department for a year, he was made chief troubleshooter for the account which entailed travelling around the country to the various Schenkers office handling local problems for the Dupont account.
During the six years working for Schenkers, he was involved in all aspects of the freight forwarding business including traffic, freight rates and documentation including letters of credits. In 1978 he was sent to Philadelphia to open the Schenkers office there.
While working for Schenkers he also became involved with Cardis and EDI; early attempts by the freight community to automate the shipping process between shipper, carrier, forwarder and government agencies. Having little computer experience at the time, he volunteered to go back to college to take courses in systems analysis and design which ultimately led him to programming.
After purchasing a Kaypro computer with 2 floppy disks of 500k of storage and 16k of ram and a program called Dbase II, he started writing freight programs.
During the 80's and 90's he developed DOS based programs for freight forwarders, airlines, truckers and warehouses which are still operating today.
In 2008 D-Tech started developing web based solutions using PHP and MYSQL using the knowledge gained over the past 20 years in the freight programming business.
