Descartes Systems (DSGX - Free Report) recently unveiled the Descartes MacroPoint FraudGuard platform to safeguard operations in the transportation and logistics sector in real-time. These capabilities are designed to aid companies in combating fraudulent activities commonly found in carrier information, load tracking and shipment status.

Descartes MacroPoint is a multimodal visibility platform that includes advanced verification features that enable users to point out carrier and driver fraud by monitoring billions of data points on freight location and status.

Also, these boost carrier scorecards and network performance, improve alliances with carriers, partners and customers and help gain their trust and reliability in case of concerns or disputes.

Moreover, carriers are able to smoothly integrate with the solution via GPS-based electronic logging devices, transportation management systems, or mobile app-based tracking methods, added Descartes. Improved data quality on the platform facilitates enhanced communication and decision-making, thereby increasing control over the supply chain.

The software is a better freight visibility tool when it comes to analyzing and containing the risks associated with fraudulent activities.
