OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – January 25, 2010 – Appian Logistics Software announced today that it has acquired TruckStops North America from MicroAnalytics, thereby combining two of the best-known names in the logistics technology marketplace. This strengthens Appian’s position as North America’s premier provider of automated fleet routing and GPS solutions for the transportation industry.

The company has been one of the most active software providers in the logistics industry with over 2,800 installations of the TruckStops system worldwide. The company operates offices in Arlington, Virginia and Toronto, Ontario.

Other terms of the transaction were not made public.

“Appian Logistics Software is proud to add TruckStops North America to our portfolio and we welcome TruckStops customers to the Appian family” said company President Mike Kositzky. “Our companies have a strong tradition of providing innovative technologies that help transportation companies streamline route planning and reduce operating costs.
