Hogia eyes growth in real time, integrated, transport systems
IT-supplier Hogia has created a new division, Hogia Transport Systems to combine its different products across transport sectors.
Sweden-based Hogia has moved to combine its software businesses covering public transport, ferry services, goods transportation and terminal services into a new business group, Hogia Transport Systems.
"Hogia Transport Systems’ focus will be promoting the possibilities that the combinations of our different products can offer to customers. We have great ambitions to continue our long-term growth in the transport industry", said Bert-Inge Hogsved, founder and CEO of the Hogia Group.
The company aims to capitalise on the EUR 50M it has invested in the development of real-time transport systems since 2005. “Customers include the six largest transport authorities in the Nordic region, 500 freight and shipping companies in Sweden and Norway, 28 intermodal port and land based terminals in Great Britain, Canada and Sweden, and 21 ferry companies across 6 continents,” Hogia stated.
“We are making large investments and expecting a 35% growth within Transport Systems by 2020. In order to succeed, we need to strengthen our team across all areas. We currently have 150 employees, the ambition is 200 employees by 2020, said Christer Lindberg, Vice President of Hogia, responsible for the new business area.
