Case Study: DART Transit Company achieves near-instant EDI, 90% translation cost reduction and $240K/year VAN savings with EXTOL

Increase Customer Offerings with Improved EDI Communications

DART, the 14th-largest truckload carrier in the U.S. and a family-owned business since 1934 with more than 200 trading partners, needed faster, more secure and more compatible EDI communication. The company sought a quick, cost-effective replacement for its EDI integration system to cut transaction times and eliminate high VAN service costs.

DART implemented EXTOL Business Integrator (EBI), EXTOL Secure Exchange (ESX) and EXTOL VAN, cutting EDI transaction times from hours to seconds, reducing translation costs by 90%, securing data with AS2 encryption, and eliminating over $240,000 per year in VAN costs. The solution delivered enterprise-grade EDI capability that met—and in many cases exceeded—DART’s expectations.
