As On the Move Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:OMVS) continues the development of its groundbreaking on-demand freight program, the rising popularity of sharing economy services could advance the Company’s position to be a major player in freight.
Interest in Uber and other sharing economy applications is booming – the sector is predicted to be worth $335 billion by 2025. OMVS’ innovative on-demand freight platform will take advantage of this popular sharing economy system by offering users access to customized, local freights to match broker and carrier needs. Applying the novel concept to the trucking industry has the potential to revolutionize the way freight is delivered.
“Allowing users access to customized local freight services could change the way we look at shipping,” said OMVS CEO Robert Wilson. “Brokers will revaluate what it means to ship freight if they are able to choose a customized freight carrier that allows for faster connectivity and fosters a level playing field for truckers. Our on-demand freight platform will be a more efficient way to match the need with the opportunity.”
The Company is currently in talks with a software developer to design the program and partnering with local trucking companies to join the evolving database of freight carriers. The revolutionary technology will allow the company to compete alongside Con-way Freight (NYSE: CNW), SAIA Inc. (NASDAQ: SAIA) and Old Dominion Freight Lines (NASDAQ: ODFL).
