While living near Philadelphia, PA in the late 80's, Steve Furniss, President of Tranware,  was introduced to Brian Somerman, owner of Philadelphia Yellow Cab.  Brian was looking to develop a PC based dispatch, cashiering and accounting system for taxi and Para transit companies.  At the time, most management systems were only available on expensive mini-computers which only the largest transportation companies could afford. Steve had been developing computer programs since the late 70's and had a lot of experience with business application development. Steve was contracted to begin development of this system and "PC Dispatch" was born.  For a period of about 4 years, Steve worked with Brian both as an employee and a subcontractor to provide development, installation and training for PC Dispatch.

Tranware Inc.

Upon relocating to Clearwater, FL in the fall of 1994, Steve and his father Jim Furniss created TranWareT, an advanced suite of ground transportation software modules.

Today, Tranware, Inc. supports more than 100 active installations throughout the US and Canada, representing over 8000 vehicles. Extensive industry experience, coupled with maintaining close relationships with their customers has allowed the Tranware team to refine their products to meet the evolving needs of the industries they serve.

After 3 years of intensive development and testing, TranWare recently released WinLimo, a 32 bit Windows application that sets a new benchmark for affordable, turnkey business management and dispatch. This system provides powerful back-office functionality that empowers front-line workers by putting business-critical information at their fingertips. Functionality that belies the reasonable price, to provide a very fast return on investment for business owners of even small transportation and service companies.

Continuing on the path of constant, steady product improvement, TranWare engineers are putting the final touches on WinLimo, a companion product to their popular TranWare Taxi and Paratransit products in widespread use throughout the Unites States and Canada. WinLimo makes the same high power features available to smaller fleet owners with 2 to 25 vehicles.
