Case Study: Performance Logistics achieves optimized capacity and improved margins with Descartes MacroPoint

Capacity Optimization Fuels Bottom Line

Performance Logistics, a Draper, UT–based third-party logistics provider specializing in refrigerated freight, struggled with inefficient, transactional carrier sourcing. Reliance on inconsistent load boards and time-consuming manual vetting (including 10–12 check calls per load) led to dropped loads, higher costs, and pressure on margins and capacity control.

The company deployed Descartes MacroPoint™ for real-time freight visibility and AI-driven capacity matching, cutting manual calls and automatically matching loads to validated carriers (including auto-offers and forward-looking capacity). The result was faster, more profitable load bookings, improved productivity and margins, proactive load coverage, and stronger, more strategic carrier relationships.
