Our mission has always been to provide best-in-class solutions, and this latest step – bringing Arcadium Technologies into the Work Truck Solutions family – is another example of executing on that goal.” Johnson went on to say, “Arcadium is widely recognized as a leader in the heavy-duty world, which meant they were the ideal partner. This acquisition builds on our commitment and I’m very excited to collaborate with such a talented and respected team.”
Offering heavy-duty specific solutions ranging from CRM, to inventory management, to deal desking and analytics, Arcadium Technologies provides a platform designed to give dealerships a competitive advantage. Arcadium’s depth of integrations with leading DMS providers and OEMs including Freightliner, International, Mack, Volvo, Peterbilt, and other manufacturers make it a trusted partner to over 1,000 dealerships globally.
Regarding becoming part of the Work Truck Solutions organization, Tim Cline, who will continue as President of the Arcadium division, noted, “During initial discussions with Aaron and Kathryn, their vision and strong commitment to serving the heavy-duty sector immediately stood out, and that was critically important to us. This is an example of a perfect partnership, uniting two strong teams to deliver even greater value for customers. I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.”
Kathryn Schifferle, Founder and Chief Vision Officer of Work Truck Solutions, shared, “My goal when I founded our company was to leverage technology so that dealers and the entire commercial vehicle supply chain could solve the challenges they faced, and serve their customers best, and I couldn’t be more proud that the Arcadium team is joining us to continue to deliver on this mission.”
