Work Truck Solutions Raises $5 Million

Work Truck Solutions has completed a Series B Preferred Stock financing round of $5 million. The company is a leader in the commercial truck inventory solutions market.

Kathryn Schifferle, CEO and founder of Work Truck Solutions, stated that the company will use this new round of funding to accelerate expansion of the marketing and commercial inventory management services that the company provides to commercial truck dealers. In addition, she explained, they will continue to develop services for the body manufacturers and distributors that serve the industry.

This latest round of funding was led by Silicon Valley venture capital firm Autotech Ventures, which specializes in the ground transport sector. Belle Michigan, Wakestream Ventures, Moneta Ventures and Golden Seeds are among existing investors that participated in this round. Alexei Andreev, managing director at Autotech Ventures, will join Work Truck Solutions’ board of directors.

Work Truck Solutions’ service to dealers went live in January of 2013 as a way for dealers to display their commercial vehicles online, allowing truck buyers to search dealer inventory by the type of truck body they need for their business application.

The company believes that its initial service was the first of its kind, and over time the company has continuously expanded its offerings and capabilities. The current portfolio of Work Truck Solutions services enables dealers to run their entire commercial business more effectively and efficiently and also provides both body manufacturers and distributors with a way for their end customers to locate in-stock inventory nationwide.

With over 600 commercial dealers and numerous body manufacturers and distributors using the company’s services, Work Truck Solutions’ rapid growth is getting noticed.
