TransPlus Announces Investments to Disrupt the TMS Industry

WATERLOO – October 26, 2022 – Today, TransPlus, a leading provider of fleet and logistics management software for the transportation industry, announced significant investments to drive future growth. The investments are intended to solidify its place as an industry leader and make TMS software accessible and affordable to all transportation companies.

The core of this investment is the rollout of its new platform, Cloud-Hosted Solution.The platform makes it easier for transportation companies to scale their business while reducing upfront infrastructure costs and ongoing in-house IT support.
