An interview with Steve Furniss, founder of Tranware, hosted by Ryan Larsen, president of QRyde Transit, a division of HBSS Connect Corp.
As part of the acquisition, we interviewed Steve Furniss, the founder of TranWare, to learn more about the company’s journey and its unique offerings. Below are a few highlights from our conversation, including the questions we asked and the insights he shared.
Q: What makes TranWare Unique in the Transportation Software Market?
What makes us unique is the fact that the application has grown organically over three decades. By working closely with operators, we’ve built a modular system that adapts to the unique needs of smaller to mid-sized fleets. Unlike one-size-
fits-all solutions, our platform allows customization for each client’s specific requirements, making it a perfect fit for diverse operating environments.
Q: What is TranWare’s Best Feature?
The best feature is its stability and reliability, paired with incredible customization capabilities. We’ve created a single platform that is not only dependable but also flexible enough to provide a unique experience for each customer.
Q: How Quickly can TranWare be Deployed?
From the time a contract is signed, we can start gathering fleet data and provisioning the system within 48 hours. Typically, clients can go live within 30 to 60 days, depending on their specific needs. Our rapid deployment model ensures minimal downtime and a smooth transition.
Q: Where is TranWare Hosted?
We primarily deploy on industry-standard platforms like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud. This ensures full redundancy and flexibility for our clients. For those who prefer hosting on their own equipment, we can accommodate that as well, provided it meets our specifications.
