Carrier & Courier Selection Management is simple and easy with the Descartes Transportation Management Software (TMS).
The software enables the user to centralise all the aspects of carrier management into one system, allowing users to enter and maintain routes, discounts, contracts, insurance information, contact details, rates and route comparisons.
Descartes TMS goes beyond common carrier selection, quickly assessing a predefined range of user-established decision criteria, such as;
- Contractual obligations
- Shipping lanes
- Shipment priority
- Cost
While also considers a carrier’s past performance.
The carrier selection module evaluates how best to send a shipment and identifies the best method, simplifying the communications with carriers by sending shipment information, monitoring deliveries and payments.
You can have goods delivered better, for less
The Carrier/Courier selection module suggests the lowest cost method for sending each packed item, helping you to decide whether it’s best to dispatch it using your own fleet or via a third-party carrier.
Shipments can be easily combined to lower costs, with the system making suggestions over whether to aggregate orders, place them on multi-drop routes or pool the shipments.
Our software goes the extra mile, so you don't have to.
