Expert Statements
Eric Lenze, EVP at WEL Companies
“The Descartes and CARRIER1 collaboration lets WEL automate communication and shipment data across our brokerage, our assets, and our for-hire carrier network, without our brokers ever leaving their TMS. That means a faster shipment lifecycle and a better experience for our customers.”
Travis Rhyan, CEO of CARRIER1
“Brokers need the systems that they already use to do more for them. Connecting Vault with Descartes’ TMS brings the broker, carrier and driver into the same flow of information. The broker stays in their Descartes solution, the carrier gets what they need to move the load, and the information comes back without someone having to chase it down manually.”
Andrew Wimer, Associate General Manager at Descartes
“We’re pleased to help WEL Companies simplify brokerage operations by connecting more of the shipment lifecycle back into Descartes’ TMS through our integrated solution. Our integration strategy gives brokers access to specialized capabilities while keeping Descartes’ TMS at the center of their operations. By collaborating with CARRIER1, we’re extending that approach to the carriers and drivers moving the freight, so brokers can spend less time gathering updates and documents and more time managing exceptions and serving customers.”
