COVID has certainly had an impact on businesses around the globe, including TrackX. In Q2, 2021, TrackX saw a decrease in revenue over the same period a year ago.  This was largely attributable to the following factors:

• The sale of the yard management business to FourKites which occurred in late Q2, 2020;
• The completion of the transition services agreement with FourKites in December, 2020;  
• A large automotive customer moved its requirements in-house in late 2020 and;
• Solution implementation delays were incurred with both new and existing customers, which TrackX anticipates will proceed as customers recover from the disruptions caused by COVID.”
