Published in Your Schenectady, August 18, 2023
SCHENECTADY- Although Transfinder, a software company based in downtown Schenectady, isn’t likely to become a household name in the short term, its impact nevertheless extends well beyond the city limits.
Founded here in 1988, the corporation has grown from a small operation offering DOS software for IBM PCs to a major presence in its field. Currently, Transfinder provides transportation software to over 2,500 school districts nationwide, and nearly one in three students in the US rides a bus either guided or managed by Transfinder’s tech, including all those in Schenectady County, according to CEO Antonio Civitella.
