WATERLOO, Ontario, Nov. 17 (Korea Bizwire) – Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that S. Bertram, Inc., a premier food-service industry supplier across the North-eastern U.S., has increased efficiency and improved customer service with Descartes’ comprehensive cloud-based fleet management solution that combines route planning, real-time dispatch, GPS-based tracking, proof of delivery (POD) and telematics.

“Before working with Descartes, our drivers were handed a list of stops each morning and followed a manually-scheduled route. With these manual processes, we knew we had an opportunity to improve fleet efficiency and visibility by automating,” said David Spira, General Manager, Receiving, Logistics and Fleet Management at S. Bertram. “With Descartes Route Planner(TM) On-demand and Descartes Telematics & Compliance(TM) solutions, we’ve optimized route planning and execution. Now, our drivers are enabled with leading technology that makes them more efficient. Our dispatchers have real-time visibility to delivery status, can easily access and modify routing plans in real-time, and can proactively alert customers should exceptions occur. This has enhanced our customer service, improved our employee morale, and helped us to reduce costs and better manage driver performance.”

Descartes Route Planner On-demand is a cloud-based fleet management solution that provides a sophisticated, yet quick to implement, easy-to-use and affordable solution to plan, dispatch and track routes and capture POD information in real-time. It is ideally suited for enterprises of all sizes that want advanced fleet management capabilities delivered simply and cost effectively. Descartes Telematics & Compliance helps enhance vehicle and driver performance with advanced capabilities for vehicle monitoring (such as location, operating hours, maintenance, and engine temperature) and driver behaviour management (such as speeding, excessive idling, and hard braking).

“We’re excited that our comprehensive fleet management solution has helped S. Bertram gain operational efficiencies while improving customer satisfaction,” said Andrew Roszko, Senior Vice President North American Sales at Descartes. “By leveraging Descartes Route Planner On-demand and Descartes Telematics & Compliance, S. Bertram positively impacted both productivity and performance, helping the company continue its legacy of providing exceptional service.”
