Company Overview
Profit Tools, Inc. began in 1995 as a joint venture between trucking company owner James P. Daley Jr. and software specialist Brian K. Widell. The goal was to create a trucking software package that served as a complete operational system for multimode “flexible service” carriers. James Daley’s trucking operation, S&J Transportation of Lee, NH, had identified the need for software that could run their entire operation from dispatch to billing and everything in between.
Flexible Software for Flexible Carriers
From the beginning, being built for “flexible service” meant our software needed to manage containers and chassis, flatbeds, dry-vans, reefers, air freight, TL, in-route and cross-dock LTL, brokerage… and whatever else customers could ask a trucking company to do. “We can do it” was the motto of the trucking operation that our software had to satisfy first, so flexibility was built into our software’s DNA.
The Intermodal Leader… and Much More
Since those early days, our ability to manage containers well was recognized as one of the things that set us apart from other packages, and we’ve built on that strength to become the nation’s leading intermodal & multi-mode trucking software. However, quite a number of our customers don’t do container work at all, and many others take advantage of our flexibility as they change their service offerings to meet the current needs of the marketplace. The bottom line is, our system remains flexible enough to meet the needs of any and all carriers. Currently, Profit Tools has over 300 customers throughout North America and the Caribbean running highly successful operations through the use of our application.
