Descartes Systems Group, the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced the top carriers worldwide using its Descartes MacroPoint™ real-time freight visibility solution to help streamline operations, improve margins, reduce costs and optimize time management by providing shipper customers with high-quality and accurate load data. Carriers were evaluated based on having integrated Descartes MacroPoint with their transportation management system or telematics system and having achieved exceptional performance during the quarter.
Global supply chains rely on the logistics excellence and consistent performance of carriers to deliver goods and related shipment information all over the world. Carriers are constantly executing shipments and working through complex analytical and logistical challenges. Descartes’ new semi-annual program highlights the carriers achieving the highest standards of customer service and operational excellence using Descartes MacroPoint.
