Descartes, McLeod Software combine fleet service applications
WATERLOO, Ont. — Logistics group Descartes Systems announced that McLeod Software has joined Descartes’ United by Design program to offer broader services to its truck carrier brokerage and shipper community throughout North America.
McLeod provides transportation software tools that satisfy fleet management needs for trucking companies, freight brokerage firms, 3PL’s and shippers.
Combined with Descartes’ federated Global Logistics Network and value-added applications for the trucking and freight brokerage industry, McLeod can now offer additional solutions to its customers to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency, including electronic data interchange (EDI) messaging, customs filing and compliance solutions, the companies say.
The combined logistics community formed by McLeod and Descartes’ user base can now work together to automate and standardize multi-party business processes and share critical information to accelerate productivity improvements and cost savings.
Descartes’ network combines the power of the Descartes Global Logistics Network (GLN), a community of over 22,000 companies in over 165 countries exchanging logistics information, and value-added applications working together to standardize and streamline multi-party business processes.
