DAT Solutions and AscendTMS Connect To Offer Posting From The World's Most Popular TMS

Tampa, FL - August 24, 2016

InMotion Global, Inc. announced today that AscendTMS, the world's fastest growing transportation management software (TMS), has added the venerable DAT load board to their arsenal of 53 active load board connections. AscendTMS now offers integration to more active load boards than any other TMS system.


Tim Higham, president and CEO of InMotion Global, Inc. said, "DAT is the undisputed leader in load board technology, load and truck quality, and volume. Whether you are posting loads or trucks, DAT load boards provide the biggest and best solution, and they are relied upon by the majority of the freight transportation industry to keep trucks full and freight moving. We are honored to have them seamlessly integrate with AscendTMS. "

As the industry's biggest and most trusted load board, DAT helps carriers of all sizes find the best loads for their fleets. By reducing deadhead and increasing revenue per loaded mile, DAT carriers make thousands of dollars more per truck each month than the industry average with quality load providers who pay faster and have the industry's highest credit scores.

Greg Sikes, VP of Products at DAT Solutions said, "This integration exemplifies our commitment to integrate with industry leaders. Our partnership with AscendTMS delivers a best-in-class experience for our shared customers. We look forward to expanding the value that DAT and AscendTMS collectively offer the market."

In addition to the new DAT load board features, AscendTMS is the only TMS to offer seamless cash funding on completed loads, offers fully customizable load management screens, free GPS load tracking built into the TMS, free document management, sending of drivers instructions via text from the TMS (and receive replies), complete fleet, asset, and driver management, IFTA tax reporting, full brokerage management, easy accounting, full reporting, user role management, branch and agent management, a free truckload rate index, a free driver pay and settlement module, free route and load optimization, free customization, EDI connectivity, and much more.

Higham continued, "AscendTMS is the undisputed leader in TMS value, offering more features for less money than any other TMS in the world. With our new DAT Solutions relationship we are successfully migrating larger and larger customers to AscendTMS, who often pay 90% less than their old TMS system and get twice the feature set with AscendTMS. I believe that's the pure definition of value for our customers, who are looking for the best available TMS technology at the absolute lowest cost."

AscendTMS continues to be the only transportation management system (TMS) offered at no cost for the base system, and is the only TMS that can be launched immediately from a website by new users with no contract, no upfront fees, no credit card, and no long-term license agreement. AscendTMS continues to be the world's leading cloud based freight brokerage software, trucking software, and shipping software and has won every major industry award over the last 14 years.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.
