Our take
The American commercial fleet industry is experiencing some innovative changes, with tech startups aiming to resolve historic inefficiencies in route setting and capacity loading. Trucks of the future will require additional solutions for software management, driver displays, and network connectivity. Despite this, an integrated solution for all of these features is currently missing from the market.
Platform Science develops trucking connectivity solutions that unify many modern improvements into a single platform. While the company develops its own tools, its unique selling point is its customisable dashboard, which unifies existing software stacks to bring everything together as an all-in-one logistics freight control centre.
Platform Science's product is highly regarded for improving the driving experience and is in use by major fleets including Schneider, Western Express and Velocity. Its upward trajectory is set to continue after being awarded $125 million in Growth Capital in 2024, which will accelerate its innovations in the trucking software sector.
