Route planning and scheduling software specialist Maxoptra has reported 'unprecedented' sales in the first quarter of 2017. 

New customers have come from the food and furniture sectors, while international clients include one of Saudi Arabia’s leading food and confectionary manufacturers, a South African-based telecoms provider and a well-known online furniture store in Denmark.

The results follow recent expansion announcements with investment in a new sales and marketing operation in the south coast city of Brighton.

Stuart Brunger, Maxoptra business development director, said: “The first quarter of 2017 has been amazing.

“We have seen more than 30 new organisations sign up to the service, which equates to a 15% growth. We have secured some significant overseas contracts and strengthened our position in the UK."
