Important
Trenova is currently in development and is not yet suitable for production use. We are actively working on building the core functionality and will be releasing it in the future.
Trenova emerged from witnessing firsthand the daily struggles of Over-The-Road carriers in the United States. Our vision extends beyond just creating another TMS - we're building an ecosystem that empowers transportation companies to thrive in an increasingly complex industry.
Traditional Transportation Management Systems (TMS) have created significant barriers:
- Financial Burden: Enterprise TMS solutions often cost $50,000+ annually, making them inaccessible to small and mid-sized carriers who make up 90% of the industry
- Technical Debt: Legacy systems built on outdated technology stacks require expensive maintenance and limit innovation
- Operational Inefficiency: Users spend 30-40% of their time on repetitive tasks that could be automated
- Integration Challenges: Most systems operate in silos, forcing manual data entry and increasing error rates
- Complex Implementation: Average implementation times of 6-12 months delay time-to-value
- Limited Innovation: Closed systems prevent carriers from adapting to changing market conditions
- Data Silos: Valuable operational data remains trapped in disparate systems, hindering decision-making
- Compliance Burden: Manual tracking of FMCSA regulations increases risk and consumes resources
We're transforming transportation management through:
- AI-First Design: Rather than bolting on AI features, we've built intelligence into every aspect of the system
- Workflow Automation: Identifying and automating repetitive tasks to free up human capital
- Real-Time Intelligence: Providing actionable insights when they matter most
- Adaptive Learning: Systems that learn and improve from user interactions
- Collaborative Innovation: Building features based on real user needs and feedback
We believe transportation companies deserve better. Trenova represents a fundamental shift in how carriers manage their operations, combining artificial intelligence with human expertise to create a system that truly serves its users.
The transportation industry faces unprecedented challenges that require innovative solutions.
-
Operational Inefficiencies
- 40% of fleet capacity underutilized due to poor planning
- Average dispatcher manages only 15-20 trucks manually
- 25% of drive time lost to suboptimal routing
- 20% of revenue lost to inefficient load matching
-
Compliance and Safety
- $5,000+ average cost per DOT audit
- 70% of carriers struggle with HOS compliance
- Manual log tracking leads to frequent violations
- Delayed maintenance increases safety risks
-
Technology Barriers
- Legacy systems unable to adapt to new regulations
- Limited integration capabilities with modern tools
- High training and onboarding costs
- Poor mobile accessibility for drivers
-
Data Management
- Critical business data spread across multiple systems
