AMCS Group, the world-leading provider of recycling and waste management software & on-vehicle technology solutions, today announced its acquisition of Transvision, a provider of planning and optimisation systems for transport and distribution.

In seven years, Transvision and AMCS Group have cooperated targeting complementary market sectors and AMCS Group stood as the natural buyer of Transvision.
