Transportation and logistics is challenging these days as it is. But working with perishable goods adds a whole extra layer of complexity to it.
Descartes MacroPoint offers you the visibility you need to accurately coordinate your freight and deliver on time, combined with in-transit temperature control and monitoring capabilities that preserve product quality and keep your goods fresh.
Missing delivery windows with retail grocery customers can come with a high price. Our simplified carrier tracking and precise ETAs help you coordinate your operations with accuracy.
Raw ingredients that don’t arrive on schedule can halt production — a serious problem in food and beverage. Our data gives you early insight into delays, and enough time to shift to substitute products that keep customers happy.
Out-of-tolerance temperature variances can have major implications for time-sensitive food and beverage freight. Our real-time notifications allow you to react quickly to save products that would otherwise spoil.
Keep your product integrity and customer service levels high with real-time supply chain visibility.
All your logistics data and visibility processes: consolidated, consistent and manageable from one platform.
Market-leading data quality gives you a clearer picture of performance.
Improved labor planning, automation and spending allocation mean all your efforts go further.
Identify and mitigate issues in advance with complete visibility and predictive ETAs.
“Descartes MacroPoint has given us the ability to view, analyze, predict, and communicate the status of any shipment in real-time. By proactively determining which shipments are at risk for late delivery, we can take the appropriate actions to help our customers streamline their dock receiving and improve the planning of downstream deliveries, while minimizing penalties on our end.”
