MacroPoint expands integration with TMW

Sept. 16, 2015

MacroPoint, creator of patented freight tracking software designed to give third-party visibility into load status, announced an enhanced integration with TMWSuite software from TMW Systems Inc. Newly integrated capabilities automate several load tracking processes.

The MacroPoint software integration with TMWSuite enables carriers to send load tracking requests directly to a driver’s phone from the transportation management system (TMS). TMWSuite can then display vehicle location tracking data within its software screens. The updated integration with MacroPoint load tracking software gives broker, shipper, and 3PL users of TMWSuite automated capabilities such as:

•Tracking multiple loads by customer, business segment, or a range of parameters can be automated using customizable filters to replace manual tracking of individual loads.

•Automatic stop, arrival, and departure events are now available, in addition to in-route location updates.

“Our newly integrated capabilities with MacroPoint mean less data entry and less time spent setting up and managing load tracking processes,” said Brad Young, industry principal, brokerage and asset-light solutions at TMW.

Used to track all loads from multiple devices and systems including flip phones, smart phones, ELDs/telematics, EDI, and TMS, MacroPoint’s patented location tracking software can provide third parties with per-load status and location visibility to shipments. With MacroPoint, brokers, 3PLs and shippers have real-time location tracking, on-time delivery monitoring, and arrival and departure notifications that enhance efficiency and profitability of their operations.
