OneCompass Holdings

What OneCompass Holdings does

OneCompass Holdings is a 100% employee-owned acquisition holding company, structured as an Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP), that acquires and manages profitable lower-middle-market businesses in logistics, transportation, and adjacent essential services. The holding company operates a defined investment thesis: targets with EBITDA between $2M and $15M, low-to-moderate capital intensity, and primary geography within a 200-mile radius of Columbus, Ohio. Its portfolio currently comprises FST Logistics (the original operating company, a full-service 3PL with 1.8 million+ square feet of dry, refrigerated, and frozen warehousing founded in 1991), Hyway Transportation (an asset-based dry-van and temperature-controlled carrier acquired in 2024), Evolve Global Logistics (a minority-owned 3PL receiving a strategic investment in November 2024), Aquinas Leadership Group (a pharmaceutical and medical device training provider acquired in February 2025), and Koleaseco Inc. (a transportation provider announced for acquisition in July 2025 with planned integration into the Hyway Trucking division).

OneCompass monetizes through three distinct revenue streams tied to its portfolio: transaction-fee logistics and warehousing revenue from FST and Hyway; recurring subscription and program fees from Aquinas's sales, compliance, and leadership training services; and internal managed-services revenue generated when shared corporate functions (Finance, HR, Technology) are allocated across portfolio companies. Enterprise customers are reached through direct B2B field sales executed at the operating-company level, with quote-based, multi-year contracts. Distribution is domestically focused on US enterprise customers, with a stated intent to expand Hyway's national platform via the Koleaseco integration.

Operationally, OneCompass applies a proprietary framework called the "Pillars of Excellence" — emphasizing clarity in processes, education, controls, and accountability — across its portfolio. Underlying technology is conventional enterprise software: NetSuite for financial management, Microsoft platforms for general operations, API-based integrations for interoperability, and UKG Pro for human capital management. Leadership consists of Chairman & CEO Matt Hartman, CFO Jen Harris, CAO Jill Kuhlman, and CTO Jason Sorenson. The OneCompass Foundation, established in 2021, runs an annual Teeing Up Futures charity event that has raised over $350,000 for Ohio nonprofits over five years.
