June 17 2019 - 6:45AM
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that Atlanta-based Nolan Transportation Group (NTG), a leading
third-party logistics company, has deployed the Descartes
MacroPoint™ freight visibility solution to enhance shipment
visibility across its rapidly growing North American distribution
network.
“Descartes MacroPoint is a vital piece of both our carrier and
customer operations at NTG. Our customers can opt to get real-time
visibility on every shipment we move. The drivers for our carriers
can provide location updates with minimal interactions while
in-transit, leaving us with happier carriers who can focus on
driving safely,” said Perry Falk, Senior Vice President, Carrier
Operations at NTG.
The cloud-based Descartes MacroPoint real-time freight tracking
solution gives carriers, brokers, shippers and logistics service
providers, like NTG, real-time visibility into the location and
status of every load. Using the Descartes solution integrated with
its proprietary transportation management system (TMS), NTG is
improving the efficiency of transportation operations and
communication of in-transit freight status with customers and being
more proactive in managing potential supply chain disruptions with
intelligent, actionable real-time visibility data.
“We’re pleased that our solution is supporting NTG’s rapid
growth and helping to enhance service by delivering improved
customer shipment visibility and stronger carrier relationships,”
said Brian Hodgson, SVP Industry Strategy at Descartes. “With
logistics companies facing greater customer expectations for
shipment visibility, having the right technology partner is
essential for seamless and reliable tracking services for our
customers.”
