What Qv21 Technologies does

Qv21 Technologies, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, built a cloud-based transportation management system (TMS) purpose-built for short-haul bulk commodity trucking operators. The platform unifies dispatch, automated ticketing, real-time GPS and geofencing (GeoTrack), DOT Hours-of-Service compliance via ELD, mobile driver workflows, broker and owner-operator coordination, rating and invoicing, driver payroll, and business intelligence into a single configurable SaaS application. It serves fleet operators across solid waste, crude oil, water, refined fuels, sand, and aggregate hauling, with deployments in oil field services, waste and recycling, and liquid and dry bulk transportation.

The company operated a sales-led, enterprise field-sales GTM anchored on a demo-based conversion motion and custom annual subscription pricing scaled to fleet size and operational complexity. Disclosed scale outcomes include 60%+ reduction in administrative costs through automated e-ticketing, 50%+ increase in daily loads per truck, and a driver-to-dispatcher ratio as high as 70:1.

In 2024, Qv21 was acquired by AMCS, a global sustainability software provider for foundational industries, and rebranded as AMCS Bulk Hauling in May 2025. The unit now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary within AMCS's broader environmental, transport, and EHS/ESG software portfolio, with access to the parent's international distribution and complementary modules such as Fleet Maintenance and Route Optimization. The company historically raised approximately $6.2 million across two disclosed funding rounds (2012 and 2018), and maintains a leadership team including CEO Jonathan Currie and founder Huw Thomas.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Samsara: Public IoT and fleet management platform widely used in trucking for telematics, ELD, dispatch, and safety. Comparable to Qv21 in offering ELD and fleet visibility, but as a horizontal platform rather than a purpose-built bulk-hauling TMS.
• Trimble Transportation: Major incumbent in transportation management and fleet mobility software serving trucking carriers, brokers, and 3PLs. Comparable to Qv21 in covering dispatch and back-office functions, but at much broader scope across enterprise trucking rather than the short-haul bulk niche.
• Omnitracs (now Solera/Omnitracs): Established fleet management and TMS suite for commercial trucking fleets. Comparable to Qv21 in providing carrier-facing dispatch, compliance, and routing, though it operates as a broad incumbent across many trucking verticals rather than specialising in bulk commodity haulers.
• Motive (formerly KeepTruckin): Unified fleet management platform covering ELD, dispatch, visibility, and spend management for trucking and construction fleets. Comparable to Qv21 in the ELD and operations layer, but positioned as a horizontal play with adjacent exposure to construction and field service rather than a dedicated bulk-hauling system.
• Verizon Connect: Large incumbent fleet telematics and management offering from Verizon Business. Comparable to Qv21 in fleet visibility, dispatch, and compliance, though not verticalised for short-haul bulk commodity operations.

Emerging players

• Geotab: Telematics and fleet intelligence provider with a strong trucking customer base and an expanding software ecosystem. Comparable to Qv21's GeoTrack GPS and operational-data capabilities, though Geotab is more telematics-led and less vertically integrated into back-office billing and payroll for bulk haulers.
• Fleetio: Cloud-based fleet maintenance and operations platform serving commercial fleets. Comparable to Qv21/AMCS through the AMCS Fleet Maintenance add-on, though Fleetio focuses on maintenance and fuel workflows rather than dispatch and bulk-hauling-specific ticketing.
• Platform Science: Connected vehicle platform for commercial trucking fleets that integrates third-party apps on in-cab tablets. Comparable to Qv21's driver app and ELD layers, though Platform Science sells an enabling platform rather than a full vertical TMS for bulk haulers.
• HaulHub Technologies: Digital ticketing and e-ticketing platform for bulk construction materials haulers. Comparable to Qv21's Driver Dispatch & Ticketing and e-ticketing capabilities within the dry-bulk / aggregate segment, though narrower in scope without the full TMS suite.

Direct peers

• McLeod Software: Long-established TMS provider focused on trucking carriers and freight brokers. Comparable to Qv21/AMCS Bulk Hauling as a carrier-side TMS serving for-hire trucking operations with dispatch, billing, and compliance workflows, though McLeod skews toward larger TL/LTL carriers rather than short-haul bulk haulers.
