Company Description: 

Information Technologies Curves, or IT Curves®, develops state-of-the-art transportation and logistics management software serving enterprises in over 30 cities in the U.S. IT Curves’ software allows enterprises to monitor and manage mobile resources (which operate outside of the office) with the same level of accuracy as inoffice staff and resources. IT Curves’ system allows enterprises such as taxi, limousine, shuttle, campus bus systems, trucking, and other logistics management enterprises to accurately monitor, assign tasks, verify completion of the task, and process payments for these resources while on the road. IT Curves uses standard, off-the-shelf cellular phones and tablets, wireless data communication, accurate GPS positioning, and built-in navigation to enable mobile resources to be managed as an integral part of the company at all times.

The MIPS program is a very effective program to encourage the integration of the academic research and resources with local companies to ignite growth in various industries. We were pleased to see the university’s desire for fresh problems to solve as our industry is seeking to move into the future of increased efficiency. MIPS is a very well-managed and excellent program. Our relationship with our principal investigator was excellent and we found the research team extremely interested in the industrial use of their academic experience and very much capable of understanding the commercial problem we described. Our company has converted the results of our joint work to into tangible business success.
