Introducing Descartes MacroPoint’s New Custom Notification Center for Smarter Supply Chain Visibility Alerts 

Staying updated on shipment status is critical for success. Descartes MacroPoint, a leader in real-time shipment visibility solutions, continues to innovate with its latest feature: the Notification Center with Customizable Rules Manager. This powerful tool is designed to streamline shipment tracking, accelerate collaboration, and ensure that critical updates reach the right people at the right time.

What is the Notification Center?  

The Notification Center is an advanced alert management system built directly into MacroPoint. With a sleek, intuitive interface, it empowers users to receive, view, and manage notifications effortlessly. Whether you’re coordinating with internal teams or updating external stakeholders, the Notification Center delivers unparalleled flexibility and precision to automate alerting across your supply chain. 

Key Capabilities  

Flexible Configuration for Load Alerts

The Notification Center lets you customize alerts for virtually unlimited shipment/load events, including arrival/departure at facilities, location updates, new delivery instructions, loads running late, loads off-line, loads waiting for pickup, loads with free time expiring, or just about any status you can think of.

Customize Notification Frequency

Allow users to define how often updates are triggered to match your operational needs; whether that is once per load, every time an event occurs on the load, or updating at regular time intervals, you can align notifications with milestones or continuous monitoring. 

Tailored Load Segment Selection

Provide custom data filters to empower users with the ability to set very wide, or laser-focused alerts for specific customers, facilities, types of freight, or any other categories.

Diverse Delivery Options

Enable collaboration with customers, carriers, or internal teams via different methods; email, SMS, FTP, or within the MacroPoint UI (central hub for viewing and managing alerts). Alerts can also be configured for immediate delivery, aggregated updates, or periodic summaries, ensuring maximum flexibility.

Why Choose the Notification Center?

Descartes MacroPoint’s Notification Center enhances visibility, streamlines communication, and reduces operational friction. By delivering customizable, actionable alerts, it empowers businesses to stay proactive and make data-driven decisions. Whether you’re managing a single shipment or overseeing a global supply chain, this tool ensures you’re always a step ahead.
