On the Move Systems Corp. (OMVS) is aggressively capitalizing on recent industry trends that have seen trucking companies across America fervently upgrading their technology as a way to aggressively slash costs. These promising trends offer new opportunities for OMVS to push its upcoming on-demand, app-based “Uber for trucking” platform that will wirelessly connect carriers with local, independent truckers, empowering them to more cost-effectively market their services.
“Trucking has always been a capital and labor-intensive industry with razor-thin profit margins,” said OMVS CEO Robert Wilson. “As a result, truckers are constantly looking for ways to maximize each and every dollar of revenue. One way to do that is to invest in cutting-edge technology like ours that will improve efficiencies and productivity. Our innovative upcoming platform will allow freight haulers to make the best, most profitable use of their assets by helping them expand their local, independent networks, leading to lower overhead costs and thus higher profits.”
Analysts estimate that up to 85 percent of a trucking company’s revenue goes to cover labor, equipment, fuel, insurance and debt service costs, leaving precious little left over for profit. Leading companies are spending large sums on technology over the next few years to maximize equipment utilization, recruit and retain drivers and more effectively price their services.
OMVS’ revolutionary platform offers a way to meet those efficiency and cost-control needs by bringing together independent freight haulers and trucking companies into a user-friendly, shared-economy platform. OMVS continues talks with select software design firms regarding platform layout and has an emerging roster of trucking partners interested in joining.
