11. Meeting you in the elevator
Transfaction cutting-edge methods help transport users and providers reduce cost and increase
service by investigating journey data for opportunities to reduce waste and increase reliability.
Our analytic capability can be used by enterprises seeking to maximise networks, for example,
showing a client which factories and distribution centres are not performing, or at a fleet level, for
example, advising fleet directors of multiple operating centres, which drivers are not performing.
Transfaction simplifies measurement of supply chains, and enhances the data coming from
transport management systems, in-cab telemetry providers, road-side and other sensors.

12. What we are seeking.
Transfaction wants to be involved in a project which seeks to collect and convert data from
multiple sources (TMS, telemetry, sensors) with a view to finding commercial applications.
We can be very active in the preparation of application documents, and project management at
all stages of this competition, however as an early-stage company we do seek larger partners
who have the resources, network and credibility to take a project through the whole process.
As a business working with logistics partners we can most likely bring data, and a commercial
test-bed to a project. What we seek are partners to supplement our own skills. In this respect I
will be keen to talk with other data owners, technology providers (satellite, mobile comms,
telemetry, enterprise solutions etc ) and other service companies (road-side information etc.)
