GlobalTranz Enterprises, Inc., a leading technology and third-party logistics solutions company providing award-winning Transportation Management System (TMS) products to shippers, logistics service providers and carriers, today announced continued growth in the first and second quarter of 2019. In the first half of the year, GlobalTranz reported a gross revenue increase of 3.6% and a net revenue increase of 15.5% year-over-year.
The close of a new equity partnership with Providence Equity Partners, launch of the next generation of GTZcommandTM, acquisition of Chicago-based Circle 8 Logistics, and accelerated growth of GlobalTranz’s managed transportation offering by 55% were high points that drove the year-to-date results.
