AscendTMS Embeds DAT’s Predictive & Historical Truckload Pricing Tools Into TMS Software Platform

DAT's Industry Leading Truckload Rate Tools Are Now Fully Available In The World's Number 1 Rated TMS Software Platform, AscendTMS.

AscendTMS Embeds DAT’s Predictive & Historical Truckload Pricing Tools Into TMS Software Platform

Tampa, FL, December 22, 2020 – InMotion Global, Inc. today announced it has embedded DAT’s market leading RateView pricing tools within AscendTMS, the world’s most popular TMS software. AscendTMS users can now use RateView’s predictive and historical pricing tools directly within AscendTMS to optimize profits and minimize costs on any individual load or lane, using near real-time pricing data.

“Industry professionals simply cannot afford to leave money on the table when negotiating either spot rates or contract rates,” said Tim Higham, president and CEO of AscendTMS. “DAT’s powerful RateView pricing tools are proven, accurate, and instill immense confidence with AscendTMS users.”


The AscendTMS integration of RateView includes DAT’s latest announcement of providing three-day average lane rates, thus setting a new industry standard in truckload price analysis and forecasting.

In a market defined by unprecedented volatility, having average rates based on the previous three days of actual freight bills provides the industry with closer to real-time data than any other benchmark in the industry. While a weekly average is a great guide for pricing, some markets move faster than seven-day rates can capture.

RateView was established in 2010 and today is the industry standard for freight rate data. It converts hundreds of billions of dollars in completed freight transactions into the most up-to-date insights and intelligence available for carriers, brokers, and shippers across more than 65,000 lanes.

Ken Adamo, DAT Chief of Analytics said, “DAT’s historical and predictive rates are the most accurate in the industry because they’re derived from the most accurate and up to date rate data available. Embedding RateView within AscendTMS gives their users, whether they’re carriers, brokers, 3PL’s or shippers, a clear competitive advantage when it comes to minimizing costs and maximizing profits on every single load they move.”

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.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
