A Descartes MacroPoint Case Study
Princeton TMX, working with Descartes MacroPoint, helped a leading functional beverage producer replace manual transportation processes that were slowing dispatch, limiting shipment visibility, and making it harder to manage OTIF performance across 25,000+ annual shipments. The company needed a better way to coordinate loads, track carrier status, and reduce errors while serving major retailers with time-sensitive deliveries.
Princeton TMX implemented a cloud-based TMS integrated with Descartes MacroPoint real-time freight visibility, automating load building, tendering, carrier management, and tracking. The results included dispatching 200–300 loads per hour instead of taking 4–5 hours manually, over 90% visibility compliance, faster onboarding, better reporting, and improved delivery performance and margin control through predictive ETAs and actionable transportation data.
