August 03 2022 - 6:45AM
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that C.H. Robinson, one of the world’s largest logistics service
providers, is using Descartes MacroPoint™ to expand the options
carriers can use to connect with the company’s technology.
“We’re pleased to be able to help carriers in C.H. Robinson’s
North American freight network deliver important information on
their shipments,” said Dan Cicerchi, General Manager,
Transportation Management at Descartes. “Supply chains today are
extremely fast-paced and fluid, and the ability to access timely
insights into the precise movement of goods is critical for
logistics service providers and shippers alike.”
C.H. Robinson offers carriers digital connectivity through its
Navisphere Carrier website and app, direct integrations with
carriers’ own technology and API integration with third-party tools
such as the most popular ELDs. For carriers that use Descartes
MacroPoint to provide status updates on the freight they’re
hauling, C.H. Robinson has extended its agreement with Descartes so
that carriers can seamlessly continue to transmit updates via their
preferred tool.
Descartes MacroPoint is a cloud-based multimodal visibility
platform designed to help manufacturers, retailers, distributors
and logistics services providers gain better control of freight
movement through real-time location, status, and
estimated-time-of-arrival (ETA) data on their shipments. The
platform connects road, air and ocean carriers via
telematics/electronic logging devices, transportation management
systems, a mobile driver application, APIs and the Descartes Global
Logistics Network™, the world’s largest multimodal messaging
network. Using Descartes MacroPoint, logistics service providers
and shippers can improve customer service, increase distribution
efficiency, better collaborate with customers, suppliers and
carriers, and minimize the impact of disruptions and late delivery
penalties.
