1992 marks the starting point of NOVA. The company was founded by Mr. Normand Patry following the reorganization of another existing company, Quebec Transit.

In 2005, Ms. Monique Comeau and Mr. Louis Juneau acquired NOVA. What followed were 2 decades of development and great performance throughout Quebec, Canada and even the United States.

In order to better serve the American market, Ms. Comeau and Mr. Juneau decided in 2007 to start AXYS Permits Inc. Even today, Axys Permits is enjoying great success throughout North America from its head office located in Florida and collaborates in synergy with Nova permits and road escorts.

In 2019, a partnership was born between the renowned company ProMiles Software Development Company (PSDC), NOVA and AXYS to develop software, Permit Manager. This powerful platform automates many of the functions included in the North American transportation compliance process. The software allows, among other things, to be efficient in terms of quotes, obtaining various transport permits, assigning road and police escorts and many other functions.

In 2023, Ms. Comeau and Mr. Juneau decided it was time to hand over the reigns to the next generation of managers. It was therefore on September 1, 2023 that Mr. Stéphane Labillois, an experienced manager in transport and logistics, became the main shareholder and president of the two companies. Christopher Alain, then director of operations and an employee of NOVA for 18 years, also joined as a new shareholder of the group.

Today, Nova permits and road escorts, in synergy with Axys permits in the United States, continues to offer the best possible solutions to the trucking industry in addition to experiencing good growth.

All this thanks to a solid team of more than 50 competent people dedicated to the success of the team and its customers!
