About Paradox

  Established in 1998 as logistics consulting company.




                                                                                                   © Copyright 2012 Paradox Software Consulting
  Major consulting assignment with Ryder led to recognition of specific types of operational
  software not available in the marketplace.

  Developed Transportation Resource Scheduling Tool (TRST) to help fleet operators estimate
  tractor, trailer, and driver requirements to support their operations.

  Suite of products include routing and scheduling, continuous move planning, discrete resource
  scheduling, and fulfillment planning solutions.

  Customers include 3PLs, Supply Chain consulting service providers, shippers, and carriers.

  Continue to enhance products, primarily from user feedback, with two major releases per year.

  Besides supporting traditional perpetual licensing model, Paradox also offers software on
  subscription basis which carries no upfront license fees, annual maintenance or implementation




                                                                                                   2
  costs.

  With the subscription model, you simply download the software and subscribe for the period of
  time you need it.

  seconds resulting in maximizing resource utilization and lowering costs.

  Offers many features that allow visibility to operational data for planning
  and operational improvement.

  Facilitates “what if” analysis with a few mouse clicks.
