Eden Prairie, MN-based XRS Corporation has Promoted Brendan Reidy as Chief Technology Officer
About the Company
Since 1985, we've been at the forefront of the development of technologies and services that have brought the power of science to the North American trucking industry. Along the way we created intuitive automated solutions that improve operations by integrating operational and performance data with billing, payroll, routing and compliance systems. And we pioneered mobile fleet optimization, a revolution that's literally putting the power of technology - what we call Road Science - in the palm of every trucker's hand. Embracing change for the better has always been in our DNA, and now it's time to embrace a change that clearly signals our new energy and direction. On August 13, 2012, Xata Corporation became XRS Corporation. It's a new name for a new focus, proudly honoring our Xata history while reflecting our 100% commitment to Road Science - and to XRS - our breakthrough mobile technology platform.
