Simplify the processes behind every shipment
Manage shipment operations more efficiently with Descartes freight forwarding solutions
Where could your logistics workflows improve?
For many freight forwarders and 3PLs, complexity builds gradually across day-to-day operations:
Slow and complex quoting
Rates spread across spreadsheets and systems can make it harder to respond quickly and protect margins.
Limited shipment visibility
Tracking down shipment information manually creates extra work and makes it harder to meet customer expectations.
Manual processes and duplicated work
Re-entering data and switching between systems takes valuable time away from higher-value work.
Don't let small inefficiencies become bigger problems
Small delays and manual work can accumulate over time, making logistics workflows harder to manage efficiently.

Move from operational friction to greater control with Descartes
Respond to Quote Requests Faster
Use centralised rate management and quotation tools to manage freight rates, compare contracted and spot rates, and create customer quotes directly from the system.
Give customers greater shipment visibility
Use multimodal tracking, automated shipment updates and self-service visibility tools to monitor shipment status and give customers direct access to the information they need.
Spend less time switching between systems
Manage shipment operations, rates, reporting and visibility within a connected freight forwarding system, reducing the need to work across separate tools and processes.
