About Us

Trans-Lucent Markets

Trans-Lucent Markets ULC was formed in 2003 out of a desire to turn the overwhelming amount of financial and logistical data available on shipments into valuable, revenue-generating information. The founding executives brought to this company a unique combination of fiscal/strategic financial management skills, transportation and logistics experience, and technology expertise. Research and design proceeded from a high-level strategic perspective to the challenging nuts-and-bolts of software product development.

There are four guiding principles at play in the development of TLM’s solutions:

  1. All tools are deployed as web-based solutions.
    This means that clients have "real-time" access to their data from anywhere, anytime. Valued analysis and information is delivered to the client’s desktop instantly. All that is required for implementation is the client’s shipping data to be normalized and populated into our systems. Clients do not have to install or manage software, other than any one of a selection of popular web browsers (i.e. MS Explorer or FireFox).
  2. Products are designed and managed in North America.
    All management, research and design takes place in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. All client data is housed, secured and backed-up by (Tier 1) Q9 Networks Inc.
  3. Products are designed to provide full data access to those who own the data.
    Historically, shipping data has been housed by companies, like freight auditors, and effectively "held hostage". To get summary reports on their own freight billing activities, shippers had to request specific customized reports and then pay per report generated. TLM's products are designed to provide full and complete visibility into all of our client’s freight purchasing activities. TLM will never hold a client’s data for ransom.
  4. TLM systems' output is optimized to sync with known ERP, TMS, WMS and related systems.
    TLM will find itself partnering in technology with solutions already in place and thus our solutions must be designed to be accepted by a wide range of data formats.
