Case Study: Direct Traffic Solutions achieves scalable growth, improved margins and real-time freight visibility with Descartes MacroPoint

Cloud-based TMS + Freight Visibility Solution Drives Brokerage Growth

Direct Traffic Solutions is a Florida-based freight broker that moves 1,500–2,000 primarily truckload shipments monthly for customers such as Nestle and International Forest Products. Since 2012 the company has grown rapidly—nearly doubling year-over-year—which made its manual brokerage and track-and-trace workflows increasingly unsustainable and drove the need for a cloud-based TMS with integrated real-time visibility.

In 2020 Direct Traffic implemented Descartes Aljex™ and Descartes MacroPoint™, automating order entry, lane rating, carrier acceptance, dispatching, EDI, and exception alerts while replacing manual check calls with real-time load visibility. The combined solution improved operational efficiency, raised profit margins by reducing costly manual processes and penalties, enhanced customer service, and enabled scalable growth with the same team.
