Comprehensive Status Updates and Visibility Across Multiple Modes of Transport
At Descartes, we understand that insight of cargo as it moves via air, ocean, or via domestic carrier legs is critical to stay nimble in today’s just-in-time environment. Our solution consolidates data from various carriers and transport methods into a single platform to prompt action should a shipment miss an ETA and to provide the world-class level of service that today’s customers expect.
These automated shipment milestones can trigger events, enable automated exception management, update shipment statuses, provide customs statuses, and deliver real-time tracking information through a dashboard and or web-based URL. With over 30 years of dedicated logistics technology expertise, Descartes is a leading partner to enable multimodal shipment visibility into our back-office platforms, or via a stand-alone portal.

“Descartes collects all of the information together. It gathers information from carriers, terminals, as well as rail carriers, and brings that data back to populate the Descartes platform. This means that internal employees do not have to log-in to each website or input the information in our back-office system.”
