History
Motus was founded in 2004 as Corporate Reimbursement Services, Inc. (CRS) by Gregg Darish, and changed its name to Motus in 2014.[5] Craig Powell (businessman and entrepreneur) led the Company for 9 years through accelerated growth.

In September 2015, Motus released an integration with Oracle Corporation to instantly associate Motus administrative activities with Oracle customer relationship management (CRM) software.[9]
In 2018, Motus was acquired by private equity and growth capital firm Thoma Bravo, LLC and merged with Runzheimer, creating the leading provider of mileage reimbursement technologies serving the nation's most complex transportation companies.[10][11] It also partnered with FleetCor Technologies, Inc., which provides fuel cards and workforce payment products and services.[12]
