Almat Mukhtarov is a man who has the potential to completely transform the logistics sector in the United States. His unique development, the cloud-based software Driving Smart TMS, is aimed at optimizing the industry and increasing the profitability of both public and private transportation enterprises. Before presenting his software, the Chicago-based businessman spent several years testing it within his own company, A2V Logistics Inc, which he founded from scratch in 2018.
In a short span of time, thanks to Driving Smart TMS, Almat Mukhtarov expanded the A2V Logistics Inc vehicle fleet tenfold and increased profitability to 8 million dollars per year.
How did he achieve this?
The service for optimizing freight transportation, developed by the enterprising Chicagoan, offers automation of logistical processes, from receiving customer requests to shutting down the engine at the customer’s doorstep. Quite literally, because Driving Smart TMS covers everything – scanning driver’s licenses, vehicle documents, invoices and receipts, monitoring the quality and quantity of fuel consumed for each mile traveled, recording stops and unforeseen incidents on the road, availability of refueling stations, and rest areas for truck drivers, reporting documentation for submission to the tax department and other government agencies, tenders for cost-effective procurement of fuel and lubricants, and round-the-clock dispatching in an online mode. And this is far from all that Driving Smart TMS, developed by Almat Mukhtarov, offers to logistics company owners and truck drivers.
According to experts, integrating this software into the operations of logistics companies can significantly increase their profitability in the shortest possible time and substantially improve the situation on the roads of America. With the help of Driving Smart TMS by Almat Mukhtarov, shipments will be delivered even faster, and vehicle drivers will feel safe and well-compensated.
Who is Almat Mukhtarov?
Why are experts so confident that Driving Smart TMS is the future for U.S. logistics? Because the service underwent a unique trial run in the developer’s own business, and he became the owner of a trucking company after studying the American logistics market from behind the wheel of a truck.
Almat Mukhtarov arrived in Illinois in 2015 with his wife and son. In Kazakhstan, his home country, he left behind a financial firm he had owned for many years, a nice house, and certain prospects. With his family, he brought a long-standing love for America, which had developed during his university years at a prestigious Eurasian academy, a little money, and a strong desire to make a name for himself in the United States.
The story of the family-owned company A2V Logistics Inc began in 2018. It was then that Almat Mukhtarov first took to the roads of the United States with two trucks, while his wife, Venera, managed the company’s finances. A year later, the company expanded to 30 active vehicles, and 10 new employees joined the team. Today, A2V Logistics Inc is a firm with an 8-million-dollar turnover, tens of thousands of current orders, and a substantial client list, including Federal Emergency Management Agency, Home Depot, Macy’s, Walmart, Costco, Dollar General, Cold Storage, John Deere, Coca-Cola, Menards, Morton Salt, Verizon, Amazon, GM Motors, Lexmark, Graphic Packaging, HP, and LG.
By education, Almat Mukhtarov is a financier, a bachelor of economics with top managerial skills that he acquired while working in a major insurance company in Kazakhstan and later owning his own currency exchange firm. His strategic thinking, guided by mathematical abilities and the ability to process and analyze data, allowed him to make successful moves in this new segment after thorough research.
Now, Almat Mukhtarov is eager to share his professional experience with colleagues, owners of logistics companies because he is confident that the software, Driving Smart TMS, which he developed based on his own driving experience and transparent management, not very common among American businessmen, will yield fast and tangible results not only for private companies but also for the entire logistics hub of America. Well, as they say, time will tell.
