Real-time shipment visibility now connects directly with AI-enabled decision intelligence through a new integration between Descartes MacroPoint™ and InterSystems Track and Trace Cloud Service. 

The connection enables continuous in-transit visibility and risk monitoring within InterSystems Supply Chain Orchestrator™ data platform. By combining the Descartes Global Logistics Network™ with InterSystems advanced analytics, supply chain teams gain a connected view of shipments and the intelligence to anticipate disruptions, simulate scenarios, and take informed action in real time. 

What‘s New   

Users can now monitor shipments across air, parcel, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled freight, rail, and TL/LTL modes while leveraging predictive analytics to prepare for potential delays. The solution uses API-enabled connectivity and prebuilt data integrations to simplify onboarding and improve productivity. 

Key enhancements include: 

  • Expanded in-transit visibility: Live updates across carriers and transportation modes 
  • AI-enabled decision support: Predictive insights and simulations 
  • Seamless data integration: Automated, real-time information flow between partners and platforms

Why It Matters  

From cargo theft and counterfeit risks to weather events, labor shortages, and port congestion, today’s supply chains face constant disruption. Each event adds cost and complexity, demanding faster, data-driven decisions to keep goods moving securely and on schedule. 

By unifying Descartes MacroPoint visibility data with InterSystems decision intelligence, organizations gain a continuous, data-rich view of their operations—one that supports proactive planning, transparency, and measurable sustainability outcomes.

How It Works   

Descartes MacroPoint provides real-time shipment location and status updates through the Descartes Global Logistics Network, connecting carriers, shippers, and logistics partners across modes. 

These updates flow into InterSystems Track and Trace Cloud Service, where they’re unified within InterSystems Supply Chain Orchestrator data platform. There, decision-intelligence tools use live visibility data to predict potential disruptions, highlight emerging risks, and recommend proactive next steps. 

The system continuously monitors in-transit conditions and applies advanced analytics to help plan for issues like congestion, dwell time, or labor constraints—all through built-in, API-enabled integrations that make setup straightforward. 

With this connection, teams can: 

  • Detect and resolve shipment issues earlier 
  • Optimize routes and resources in response to live conditions 
  • Maintain compliance and traceability across global partners
