S. Bertram Boosts Performance With Descartes' Cloud-Based Fleet Management Solution
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
WATERLOO, Ontario, Nov. 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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."
