Challenge
Navigator TMS began its journey as a solution for a small Dallas-based trucking company. Initially running on an outdated Access database housed on a local server, the company faced frequent crashes, limited remote accessibility, and downtime that disrupted operations. As Navigator grew, hosting performance from its previous provider began to falter, creating a bottleneck for a system that now served clients across the U.S.

- Existing infrastructure couldn\u2019t support high-traffic loads and multiple web servers.
- The growing client base demanded dedicated database servers and seamless performance coast to coast.
