Transflo, a leading provider of technology solutions for the
transportation industry, is excited to celebrate the 10-year
anniversary of its flagship app, Transflo Mobile+. Since launching
on June 20, 2014, Transflo Mobile+ has become the everything app
drivers can rely on to complete their day and focus on the
road.
With over 3.2 million downloads, Transflo Mobile+ is the proven
driver app for thousands of carriers across North America. Today,
Mobile+ processes nearly 1 billion scanned documents, 65 million+
loads processed, and well over $100 billion in freight spend. In
addition to industry-leading document scanning capabilities, load
workflow, and mobile communications, the platform also offers Hours
of Service, navigation, weigh station bypass, safety alerts, and
more.
Before the mobile app was launched, Transflo was primarily known
for its truck stop scanning machines where drivers could scan
paperwork, including load documents, invoices, and receipts
directly to their company’s back office. Moving Transflo’s focus
from truck stop scanning to a mobile app represented a significant
shift.
“Transflo’s roots started with addressing key pain points for
drivers and fleets, establishing an exclusive service network to
enable document scanning in truck stops nationwide. Transflo’s
passion to simplify the day in the life of a driver led us to
pioneer mobile scanning, allowing drivers to be paid faster. The
app continued to evolve into what it is today, a super app for
drivers,” said Frank Adelman, Transflo CEO and President from 2013
to 2022.
Mobile+ was created to streamline the driver’s day to day
activities as a core purpose – and that mission continues to this
day. Transflo Mobile+ was also created to address inefficiencies in
driver workflows and load management.
A decade ago, communication between a driver and carrier was
often done through traditional dispatch methods or via in-cab
computers that cost upwards of $2,000 per truck. By including
two-way communication and load information in Transflo Mobile+, the
app tackled multiple pain points for transportation industry.
“It was more than just scanning, and we knew from the start that
it wasn't simply a tool where we were going to scan documents, it
was a tool where we were going to drive significant benefit for
driver and carrier, reduce costs, and provide flexibility to
fleets,” said Adelman.
From 2016 to 2018, Transflo Mobile+ introduced several widely
adopted integrations that today make it a one-stop shop for a
driver’s day at work, including Geotab, Drivewyze, and CoPilot. In
2019, Transflo unveiled a redesigned Mobile+ app, and continues to
innovate and update the app on a continuous basis. Today, Transflo
is making a record investment in Mobile+, with a strong vision and
robust roadmap for further innovation and automation.
“I’m proud of our obsessive focus on solving real-world problems
through innovative user experience, and Transflo Mobile+ is a
perfect example of exactly that. As a trusted partner to our driver
and fleet customers, Transflo is focused on driving their success
through constant innovation. We’re solving challenges that exist
today and ensuring they are prepared for the changing landscape
ahead,” said Renee Krug, CEO of Transflo.
