International Monetary Systems (IMS) is one of the world’s largest barter systems, serving more than 17,000 business and service professionals throughout the U.S. IMS permits companies and individuals to exchange goods and services utilizing an electronic currency known as “trade dollars” which are used in lieu of cash to purchase the various offerings of other members of the barter network. Because IMS enables companies to generate new business, conserve cash, and convert excess inventory and capacity into needed goods or services, it continues to grow at a consistent pace. By expanding its network through strategic acquisitions, as well as growing organically through new-client enrollments, IMS has become the dominant player in the barter industry.
