SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — McLeod Software rolled out new versions of its flagship LoadMaster and PowerBroker products, as well as other upgrades and integrations to help companies further automate operations and track performance.

McLeod Software’s purchase of Enterprise Information Solutions positions the No. 2 provider of enterprise software for motor carriers to compete for the first time for business from less-than-truckload companies — a trucking niche that appears hungry for new technology, vendors said.

McLeod Software has acquired Enterprise Information Solutions Inc., a software firm specializing in the less-than-truckload market, the companies jointly announced.

McLeod Software has certified PC Miler 24 and integrated it into its software, said ALK Technologies, PC Miler’s developer.
