When you’re part of a complex global supply chain, and time is of the essence, you need your manufacturing operations to be visible, productive and working in sync.
Descartes MacroPoint can help manufacturers by unifying your multimodal networks, providing data-backed insight, and giving you complete visibility of all your shipments, whether they’re moving by land, air or sea.
Simplified carrier tracking and precise ETAs give you a better handle of your operations, so you can use your resources more intelligently—increasing productivity, lowering operating costs, and delivering a more competitive level of customer service.
Carrier detention fees are one of the biggest causes of loss in the whole manufacturing industry. By providing real-time visibility of when trucks are arriving at a particular dock or yard, Descartes MacroPoint helps you reduce congestion, and avoid those hefty fees.
When materials don’t arrive on time, the manufacturing line can grind to a halt. Precise, real-time freight data allows you to spot delays before they happen, and proactively work around them—increasing your efficiency, while minimizing your downtime.
Across a whole manufacturing operation, using manual check calls to determine delivery status just isn’t feasible. Descartes MacroPoint keeps you and your customers updated automatically, with live alerts and notifications.
