Pegasus TransTech and CEO Bob Helms Nominated for Business Awards
Online, March 20, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Bob Helms, CEO of Pegasus TransTech, has been nominated for the Ernst & Young 2012 Florida Entrepreneur Of The Year® award. Winners of the state competitions go on to compete in Ernst & Young's national Entrepreneur of the Year contest.
At the same time in an unrelated competition, Pegasus TransTech has been nominated for the Small Business of the Year Award sponsored by the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce (www.tampachamber.com). A city of more than 335,000 on Florida's Gulf Coast, Tampa hosts a vibrant business community including many technology innovators. The Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce has conducted the Small Business of the Year awards since 1981. Pegasus TransTech has been named a semi-finalist and finalist in past Small Business of the Year competitions.
Helms was named as Chairman of Pegasus TransTech in April of 2001. The following year the company introduced TRANSFLO Express, the original, breakthrough truck stop scanning service that dramatically transformed the transportation industry practice from mailing paper proof-of-delivery documents to a paperless, electronic delivery model.
Still the industry leader, Pegasus TransTech's TRANSFLO Express truck stop scanning is available at more than 800 major truck stops in the U.S. and Canada. It is relied on by 29 of the top 33 transportation companies and over 300,000 individual users. Companies like J.B. Hunt, C.H. Robinson, Command Logistics, Schneider National, Knight Transportation, Swift, U.S. Xpress, Landstar, Heartland, Covenant, Celadon, and Crete Carriers are just a few of the company's customers.
Pegasus TransTech has expanded on its original electronic document delivery concept with TRANSFLO Now! anywhere scanning using any Internet-connected laptop or desktop computer and TRANSFLO Now! Mobile that enables drivers to submit documents with an iPhone or Android smart phone.
Pegasus continues to lead the transportation industry in document management and workflow solutions that eliminate inefficiencies and increase profit.
The 2012 Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Florida will be announced in June. The national award will be announced in November. Meanwhile, Tampa's Small Business of the Year award winner will be announced in September.
