Description

Descartes Transportation Manager for Shippers is a comprehensive, multimodal TMS tailored for medium to high-volume shippers in North America and Europe, which enhances efficiency by automating processes related to purchase orders and shipment management, overseeing carrier contracts and routing guides, optimizing rates and modes (including private fleets), and facilitating load planning to maximize the use of resources. The system provides real-time insights and manages exceptions for all shipping modes, while features such as dynamic dock scheduling and yard management improve the throughput of facilities. Additionally, the platform simplifies invoice reconciliation through automated freight auditing and settlement, and offers extensive reporting, analytics, and CO₂ monitoring dashboards to help reduce costs and promote sustainability. With integrated carrier connectivity, onboarding capabilities, API/EDI messaging, modular integrations, and digital document management, it guarantees smooth collaboration with logistics partners. Overall, this advanced system not only improves operational efficiency but also fosters a more sustainable approach to transportation management.

Description

Carriers and shippers are discovering improved methods to transport freight collaboratively. In today's landscape, leveraging Trimble Transportation's Connected Supply Chain is essential. We are now providing a solution that simplifies the contract freight procurement process. Engage Lane serves as a dynamic transportation procurement platform that empowers both carriers and shippers to find enhanced freight movement strategies together. This innovative software allows you to finalize agreements in days instead of the typical months. By signing up as an Engage Lane carrier, you gain immediate access to freight leads that connect you directly with shippers based on your operational areas or desired growth regions. Engage Lane enables shippers to tackle challenges related to vanishing capacity, minimize or completely eliminate fees, and save valuable time. The EDI setup is a one-time process, allowing seamless connectivity with all parties on the platform. Shippers can define lanes while carriers set their routes, and Engage Lane effectively matches them based on criteria such as equipment type, insurance coverage, CSA scores, distance, and proximity, among other requirements set by the shipper. This streamlined approach ultimately enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of freight movement in the supply chain.
