[Estero, Florida] — September 22, 2026 — Distinctive Systems Inc. today announced the retirement of Don Greenglass, President, following a career with Distinctive Systems that spans more than two decades. Don’s contributions have played an important role in establishing and growing Distinctive Systems’ presence in the North American bus and tour operator industry.

Don’s relationship with Distinctive Systems dates back to the early 2000s and includes his instrumental role in the creation of Distinctive Systems Inc. in 2009, establishing the North American branch of Distinctive Systems Ltd. Under Don’s leadership, the company brought Distinctive Systems’ core software solutions to the North American market, which include the industry leading Coach Manager Contract and Charter Booking System, Tour Booking System, and Vehicle Maintenance System.  These products have become an important part of the day-to-day operations of bus and tour companies throughout North America, helping operators manage their vehicles, charter and tour reservations, tours, and business operations.

“It has been an incredible journey watching Distinctive Systems grow alongside the North American bus and tour industry,” said Don Greenglass. “From establishing Distinctive Systems Inc. in 2009 to working with hundreds of operators across our North America market, I’m extremely proud of what we have accomplished together.  Most importantly, I’m proud of the relationships we have built with our customers and the team that has supported them year after year. I’m excited to see the company enter its next chapter, particularly with Coach Manager Cloud coming in November.”

Bob Hopwood Appointed President

As part of the leadership transition, Bob Hopwood has been appointed President of Distinctive Systems Inc. Bob has been with Distinctive Systems for 20 years and most recently served as Vice President of Support and Training Services.  Bob will lead the experienced North American management team of Eric Elliott - VP of Sales & Marketing, Jason Fenske - Director of Support and Training Services, and Paul Demciuch - Director of Technical Services. Together with the company's dedicated support team, we are excited to continue providing outstanding client support services and expertise to the more than 400 North American companies using one or more of Distinctive Systems’ industry-leading products.

“Distinctive Systems has a remarkable history in North America, and I’m honored to take on the role of President at such an exciting time for the company,” said Bob Hopwood. “For over 20 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work directly with our customers and see firsthand how important our products and support are to bus and tour operators. Our commitment to those customers remains at the center of everything we do. We’re looking forward to building on the strong foundation Don has helped create while bringing the next generation of our technology to the market.”

Distinctive Systems Inc. thanks Don Greenglass for his many years of leadership, dedication, and service to the company, the bus and tour industry and its customers.  We look forward to continuing this legacy under Bob Hopwood’s leadership.
