Freight brokerage digitised

Posted on Friday 3 March 2023

SEL SUPPLY Chain Solutions (SELSCS) is using Descartes to digitise its freight brokerage operations. 

SELSCS is supporting its extensive growth using the cloud-based Descartes Aljex transportation management system (TMS), integrated with Descartes MacroPoint for real-time freight visibility, load tracking and automated capacity sourcing.

SELSCS president and chief entrepreneur officer Dennis Martin, says: “The integrated Descartes solution has been instrumental to driving our rapid growth across North America.

“We simplified and streamlined our transportation workflows, gained complete control and visibility for every load, and are booking loads faster with artificial intelligence-driven capacity matching. We grew revenue almost four times since starting our use of the solution. Our brokerage staff spends about 25% less time on daily routine tasks and we saved approximately 10% in freight costs thanks to data-driven decision making.”

Descartes Aljex automates and streamlines daily freight broker operations to boost efficiency, including order entry, lane rate comparison, load coverage, rate confirmation, carrier acceptance, dispatching and carrier communications. It allows brokerages of all sizes to securely access freight and transportation management data from anywhere. 

Integration with Descartes MacroPoint provides seamless real-time load tracking, which not only reduces time-consuming carrier communication like check calls and emails, but also helps brokers forecast future needs to mitigate any potential transportation risk or disruption.
