TUSCALOOSA, Ala., Oct. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of Randall-Reilly's ongoing expansion of its data-driven solutions, Randall-Reilly has acquired Transportation Data Source (TDS) from trucking pioneer Lyn Simon and TDS co-founder Helen Simon.

The TDS acquisition opens up new markets for Randall-Reilly, including factoring, insurance, brokerage/logistics and fleet management solutions.

"We're thrilled to provide a broader range of tools that help current and new clients meet an even wider range of pressing needs," says Prescott Shibles, Randall-Reilly's senior vice president of data. "Welcoming TDS to the Randall-Reilly family helps us achieve our goal of providing usable insights and measurable outcomes to our clients."

"In only five short years, TDS grew to be one of the most robust services for motor carrier safety monitoring and lead generation in the transportation industry. Selling TDS to Randall-Reilly provides existing TDS customers with access to more services and in turn, allows them to better serve their customers. I am happy that TDS is now in the stewardship of Randall-Reilly," said Lyn Simon, TDS president and founder.

Key members of the TDS staff that transferred with the acquisition will work from Randall-Reilly's office in Draper, Utah, headquarters of Smart Rhino Labs, which Randall-Reilly acquired earlier in 2018.

"This acquisition is an exciting part of Randall-Reilly's growth and represents a whole new way to propel our clients to their best selves," says Brent Reilly, Randall-Reilly president and chief executive officer.
