Initiatives include product updates, expanded support and new leadership to drive future growth
WATERLOO, ON, Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – 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 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. Since its launch in mid-2021, this alternative to expensive on-premises solutions has been an attractive incentive for many companies, regardless of size. 36% of their customer base has chosen to leverage the Cloud-Hosted Solution.
“Transportation and logistics professionals have been underserved by incumbents with expensive and hard-to-use TMS systems for too long. The incredible response from our customers reaffirms our mission to make TMS software accessible for all.” – Jake McGuire, CEO of TransPlus
The announcement comes with a flurry of other investments including:
Key Leadership Changes
After the appointment of Jake McGuire as CEO in January 2021, several members were added to the executive team. These include Jordan Lipson as VP of Operations, who has spear-headed significant changes in support and onboarding, as well as Michael Estabrooks who, as Director of Product and Engineering, will drive the product roadmap and ensure TransPlus is positioned for successful future releases.

After outgrowing its previous location, TransPlus relocated its headquarters to Waterloo Region. Boasting the second-highest density of start-ups in the world, this region is home to some of the largest technology companies in Canada.
New Tiered Offerings
